The LoadController series is Air Lift’s economically priced on board air compressor systems. It inflates, maintains and controls air springs on light-to-medium duty vehicles for maximum convenience and leveling on-the-go. The versatile compressor system makes it easy to adjust your air spring pressure for changes in load or road conditions. This is Air Lift’s most popular compressor and air control system for trucks, vans, and SUVs. All kits include Air Lift’s exclusive wiring harness for fast, easy installation. For increased safety and to eliminate the major cause of air spring failure, the Low Pressure Sensor automatically activates the compressor if air spring pressure falls below the minimum safe level. Air Lift on board air systems are the most advanced in the industry and work with all brands of air springs. Single path systems will infalte/deflate the bags together and is ideal for evenly weight-distributed loads such as tow-behind trailer, camper or similar. The air springs will inflate at the same rate at the same time. Dual path systems will inflate/deflate the bags independently and are for uneven loads that need adjustment from one side of the vehicle to the other, such as uneven in-bed loads, or for more advanced leveling capability. With a 2-Year Warranty if self-installed, or a 4-Year Warranty if installed by an Authorized Installer, the easiest installations, and best-in-class customer service, it’s easy to see why Air Lift air helper springs are America’s favorite. Air Lift Company has been developing air spring suspension products for over 70 years and is dedicated to making suspension products that fit, work, and last.

Great kit. Everything you need to install an on-board compressor for your airbags. Compressor is a bit noisy but only runs on occasion to keep the bags at minimum inflation. Can select 5 or 10 psi min pressure and when hooked up properly will only pump bags when ignition is turned on.Light in gauge is very bright but can be dimmed if hooked up to interior dimming switch. ”Installed in Dodge rear seat under floor storage compartment (which actually hangs out under the cab) keeps it out of the way and actually reduces compressor noise. Installation is moderately difficult but easily done with common tools.Good value for the price, especially when combined with the Airlift 50 dollar rebate.

This review is made in reference to installing Air Lift Kit 25856 on a 2015 Silverado 3500 dually. This kit comes complete with everything needed to install, minus the air bags themselves. Installation should be done by someone with experience and the proper tools. To work properly and trouble free, the air lines must be cut square to the tubing and inserted fully into the fittings. I used a tubing cutter and found it necessary to remove the burr it left inside the tube to ensure a tight air leak free seal. Over all, the product is well made with a few exceptions. The “Y” fitting used at the compressor is plastic and mine broke easily when installing. A metal fitting would be better and far more durable. Also, as someone else mentioned, the light inside the gauge is not replaceable, so if it burns out, you’ll be left in the dark. Speaking of the light, it comes pre-wired into the line that feeds the compressor. If you want the light to operate with the dash lights, you need to clip the power going to the gauge light and wire it into the dash lights. As with any installation of wires or air lines, car should be taken to route them away from potential sharp edges or heat. Also, running the air lines and compressor power line through the firewall requires cutting into the large rubber up-fitter’s plug (see photo). After making a large “X” cut with an Exacto knife, I used a six inch screwdriver to poke a hole in the inside seal, then stuck a wire coat hanger through to attach both the air lines and power wire. Pulling the coat hanger back out brought everything through the plug as planned.When comparing the kit to the Firestone product, I rate equal with less cost. Perhaps Firestone is charging more for the name. I don’t know. And a side note here: someone complained about the rubber smell of the air emptying into the cab when you deflate or adjust the bags. If this is serious problem for you, don’t buy the Firestone system either because it works the exact same way. To me, it isn’t an issue.This is not a difficult installation if you have the proper tools, experience using them, and can follow instructions. If any of those three things are a problem for you, I strongly recommend having the job done by someone else.

I was a newbie installing this by myself, although they have great instructions and it turned out great. Used for a 2010 Ford F-250 XLT, I cut a hole in my dash to mount it, just on the left side of the steering wheel around 7 O’clock. I’ve had this for atleast 2 years and no problems to report. The light is blinding at night so I wiried everything including the compressor to my Aux 3 switch on the aux bank Ford super duty’s have so I leave it off and it still tells you what the air pressures at, just turns the light off. Only issue was the o ring in one of the 5 psi air regulators behind the gauge dried out and allowed a small leak. I called and it was replaced under warranty by the company, they were very quick with service and it was good!

I’ve used the Airlift Load Controller before on earlier trucks. It makes ride control of your air bags very easy. However, the system is not easy to install when routing wire and air hose through your firewall. Consider spending a little more and getting the wireless model. Or, skip the DIY headache and have it professionally installed.

I’ve had an Airlift 5,000 Airbags w/ onboard Airlift Compressor on my 2013 Toyota Tundra. After 11 years in the desert I started having a slow air leak. I pull a 9,500 lb Flagstaff 5th Wheel, so my Air Lift system is an important part.I first purchased new Airlift 5,000 Air Bags figuring it was time to replace the old ones. But the slow leak continued. Time for a new Compressor System. Just installed and it seems ….. problem solved…. Happy Camper !Although my 4×4 Tundra does not squat with the 5th wheel hooked up, it would have bounce up and down on rough sections of freeway Pumping the Air Bags to 55 psi totally takes any bounce out of my suspension.No matter what the towing capacity of a truck, I feel that Air Bags give the ability to give stability under heavy loads or various road conditions.Air Lift is absolutely a 5 star product in my opinion I would never buy anything else for towing heavy loads.In my buying process I called Air Lift Customer Service. Their Customer Service was also absolutely 5 Star. Super friendly and knowledgeable.

Good product! I already had the airbags. I installed Gauge and compressor instructions easy to follow. Install was a breeze it makes switching the air ride with a load a breeze

I know this isn’t airlift’s fault and this isn’t a knock on their products but half of the kit was missing. All I received was a wire harness and a gauge. No compressor, no air lines and no fittings.**Edit**After returning incomplete kit I ordered a new one with any issues. Installed in a few hours without any leaks on the first try. Install was easy and dorections were straightforward. Great system so far.
