I took advantage of yesterdays mild day in the northeast and installed the Load Lifter 5000 kit on my 2020 F350. The install went really well once I got the truck off the ground and the wheels off, The instruction booklet was very detailed with nice clear pictures for each step, I also watched a youtube video that etrailer put out that a friend recommended.The instruction booklet was dead on with the video.I would recommend that you plan out your own map to run your air lines and the location of the air valves depending on the year of your truck. I installed the valves in the bed so that they are better protected and a easy access. The kit does not supply a mounting bracket for the air valves.
Next weekend I pick up my toy hauler from the dealer (in for warranty work) which is a 1 1/2 hour ride from my house. This should provide a good test run, I'll post again with the results.
after having my airlift 5000, I added onboard air so I didn't have to mess with filling the lines. For me this was smart as I can adjust to road and load differences on the fly

Good deal, I may decide to go that route after I get a camping season in
I picked up the toy hauler yesterday from the dealer. After getting it hooked up and pulled out I filled the bags to 55 psi. The ride was smooth and it felt better behind the wheel. It was a stiffer ride but it did take the bumps better. I did like the fact that I had no sag and the truck sat like there was no load in the bed. I'm really happy with the Air Lift kit, the install, and the performance.
B&W slider and a standard pin box setup with Air Lift
I built my own compressor system with twin compressors, 5 gallon air tank and 50 foot hose reel. I plumbed the air to a dual valve with a duplex pressure gauge so I could control the bags separately. I also put a manual fill connections inside the fuel door if I needed to air up when the compressor was out of the truck like hauling gravel or wood.

Very creative. I always like when others post there idea's.
Looks good. Im just curious as to the factory truck warranty does it affect the truck
And what was the cost the air bag setup?
The kit was $400 and change plus my time to install. Not sure about a warranty issue with this setup. the only factory part that was replaced was the bumper stop mounted on the frame and I improved on that part with a better setup. Just my .02
Yep, this is one of the best mod I did to my truck and even though my 5th wheel is only about 13,000lbs and my payload is 2900lbs it is still a good mod I can level my fiver out.
