Today on our 2017 Ford F150, we're going to be installing Airlift's Loadlifter 5000 air helper springs. These are available for four wheel drive or two wheel drive F150s. These airbags are going to provide up to 5000 pounds of load leveling support. Now this doesn't increase how much your vehicle can haul. Just how much support the airbags can provide to your suspension system.These can be particularly useful if your loading on the back and it changes the geometry of your vehicle by sagging the back and bringing the front up. This changes how your tires are contacting the road, lowering your handling and braking performance.
Additionally, it causes your headlights to point up towards the sky. Which drastically reduces night time visibility. By bringing the back up and leveling it back out, you restore that lost handling and braking performance as well as your night time vision.The airbags can be adjusted from five to 100 psi pressure. Five essentially being your normal unloaded ride and 100 being the maximum support that they can offer. They can be adjusted independently from left to right to help adjust for any uneven loads that you may be hauling.One things that sets these airbags apart from others is the internal jounce bumper located inside the airbag.
This offers you extra reliability that is not found on those that does not have it. In case your airbags lose pressure, there's the jounce bumper inside of these that can act as a standard factory jounce bumper providing you that support in those extreme scenarios. And it can also help prevent you from bottoming out.Here we've got our vehicle unloaded without our airbags installed. And from the ground to the bottom of our fender well here, it's going to be about 40 and 1/4 inches at the back. And at the front, we're going to have about 37 inches.
Now we've placed a large tank full of water in the back of our truck to simulate a heavy load. And with our airbags not installed, our suspension has dropped down nearly two inches. And in the front here, our vehicle's lifted up nearly an inch and a half. Being able to bring your vehicle back to its factory ride height while carrying a heavy load, it's going to help bring back that lost handling and braking performance due to the geometry changes of your truck. It's going to help your tires contact the road as they we're intended to under its factory suspension.
But you're going to get that hauling capacity you bought the truck for.Before you begin your installation, you may want to lift up the body of your whole truck to give you a little more room between your axle and your frame. We're using a steeple jack to just screw up the back put a little bit of pressure on it to help give us that extra clearance. That'll make the installation much easier.We'll begin our installation under the rear of the vehicle just above the rear axle. We're on our passenger side here and we're going to remove the jounce bumper. Now all the things we're doing here, we're going to be doing on the driver's side as well. We're going to use a 13 millimeter socket to remove the bolt holding our jounce bumper on. We'll set this aside as we won't be reinstalling it.On the rear side of the rear axle, we're going to need to remove the 10 millimeter head bolt using a 10 millimeter socket on this bracket here, as the bracket's going to have to be spaced out to fit our liftloader brackets in. We'll take that loose and we just need to pull it out just a little bit. Next we'll install our upper bracket. They are labeled left and right. So you can see R here as we're on the passenger side or right side. Make sure the hole is towards the rear and the bent flange is on the inside. Take the black bolt in the kit with the black lock washer on it. And we're going to thread that up to where our jounce bumper used to be.We'll then tighten it down with a 17 millimeter socket. Then torque your hardware to the specifications found in your instructions. You'll receive self tapping screws that come in our kit. See the little notch cut out in there indicating it's a self tapper. We're going to use that to tap the hole here on the front side of your axle. We're just going to start that by hand. Then use a 13 millimeter socket to thread it in.Once you've got the screws threaded in, we're going to take it right back out. Now we've got threads tapped into our spring perch. We'll now put our lower bracket on. And these ones are symmetrical so there is no left and right. Either one will fit on either side. You want to push that in, line it up with the holes in your spring perch. We can then take our bracket and reins
