Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 Air Bag Install Ford Super Duty 

The heat shield is suppose to be left flat and not bent around the exhaust, you use the big hose clamps to hold the shield center tabs to the exhaust not the whole shield to the exhaust, the center tabs on the shield should be only clamped to the exhaust, the way you did it by bending the shield around the exhaust is just going to heat the shield up as much as the exhaust and not do anything to block heat to the airbag, if it is installed correctly, it gives enough air space between the shield and exhaust to actually create a gap between the two which blocks the heat from the airbag. Good job on the reast of the installation, that was the only thing I saw that was done incorrectly was the shield installation.

The heat shield was installed incorrectly. The tabs need to be bent so there will be a 1/2in air gap between the exhaust and the shield itself.

Perfect video for the garage shop kind. Nice to see an install without having a 250k shop and endless tools.

I just finished this install on my F250 about an hour ago. Your video was awesome. It made my install so much easier. Your step by step instructions were spot on!! Thank you for doing this video. You da’ man!!

Thanks bro. I’m going to try on my 250. Box of 5000 bags been sitting in garage for 2 months. Got the confidence now.

Nice... Can this be done without a jack and jack stands?

Just installed mine this week on a 2022 F350, along with 4 Bilstein shocks and a B&W gooseneck hitch. I spent a few more minutes and removed the rear tires and the spare, and it was worth the effort for the easy access. Great video!

Man I can't thank you enough for this video!!!! I'm sorry for the rude people who have no tact in their delivery. I appreciate the time you put into making this with great detail! God bless!

The video is great however installation of the exhaust pipe shield is incorrect. You are suppose to clamp just the tab portion after it is bent to bisition an air gap between the shield and exhaust system. Installing the shield directly contacting the hit exhaust will defeat its purpose. Check the installation manual for proper directions. I redid mine after realizing I wasn’t doing it correctly.

You make it look real easy. I've been thinking of getting it done on my f250. Now I'll do it myself.

Nice work. You are good at explaining the install. The kit looks to be quality.

About shit myself when I saw your Wyoming plates. I'm up here in Gillette. Good video. I need air bags for my 2016 F250. She's only got the 2/1 leaf package and squats pretty good with little to no tongue weight.

Yeah man I love my airlift 7500xl also did the wirelessone manifold and compressor installed it on my f450. Great vid.

Great Video also subscribed putting the same air bags on my 2022 f250 4wd crewcab Godzilla,I recently installed a gooseneck hitch from a 2019 f250 keep up good videos 👍👍👍

Great job. Looking at putting them on my 2023 F250. Thanks Sub.

So he never showed in the video putting that little curved bracket on the bottom of the bag plate. He shows tightening its bolt later but never mentioned that bracket to sit on top of the bump stop base. Had to take the whole bag back out last night to add that in. Not cool dude.

Great video! Very well thought out and delivered to your audience! Extremely helpful to me!!

Video would have been good but left out the part that sits on the overload block.

You can order a 1/4" tee off Amazon for $10.00 if you're looking to run one Schrader valve for both bags. Not sure why this kit doesn't come with one. I've installed other set ups from Air Lift and they all had a Tee.

The story of my life, not enough hands and fingerd

Thank you. I appreciate your helpful video. I know it takes time and patience to do these. Thanks again any many Blessings to you and your Family. Joseph W.

Thank you for a great presentation. You answered some of my questions.

man that was one hell of a video. i watched several videos on how to install this airbag system and yours helped me more than all the others combined. thank you you just picked up another subscriber

im from sheridan wyoming!!!

Great video right up until you installed the heat shield . But your video was very helpful great idea of removing the tires .

Great video! Thanks!

Thank you i feel comfortable doing this job

Putting a T fitting on the lines so you only have one Schrader air valve will allow you to more evenly pressurize the bags I'm thinking.

Crazy they don't have a T in the kit to tie both air bags together so you don't hand to fill them to separately

Great video, should make my install easier on my 07. Any advice on installing mine with a pre existing b+w hitch? Thanks again.

21 F350 owner , Great Video very detailed !

You forgot to add the bottom plate that sits on the block in your bag assembly..

Great video. I removed the bottom bolt on my shocks and swing it away so I could get the airbag in place. 66lbs is the torque when reinstalling the shock.

Good day, great step by step video clearly understandable. Im curious if the bags help or make the ride quality more comfortable as well. I have a 2012 f250 with a 6inch lift, Bilstein resorvoir Bilstein shocks. Thanks

Husband can't wait to get his installed. He's got a F-350 dually 2016 to do the installation on. He's checked at some of our garages here and they want $650.00 + to do it. No way. Thanks for the video.

I think you installed the heat shield wrong.

Great Video!!!

Your video was SUPER helpful, so thank you for doing it. My total installation time with the air bags and the air compressor was only 7 hours because of your help. I see where someone already mentioned the heat shield, and I am guessing that someone has also already pointed out that you forgot to show the install of the curved seat bracket that goes on the bottom of the bag mount plate. (Or maybe I just missed it in the video). Either way, I also followed along with the manual so it was no big deal.

Subbed. Super helpful, thanks! I have a 17 F350, so more videos please...

Excellent install video!

Great job! Thanks

You got the tabs on the heat shield backwards.heat shield should not be touching exhaust pipe only the tabs and clamps should be touching exhaust pipe otherwise the heat shield will get just as hot as the exhaust pipe defeating the purpose of heat shield. Otherwise nice job.

Are longer shock absorbers needed?

Great Video....Thx!!!!

What are. You hauling?

So as everyone stated, GREAT VIDEO. I just installed the bags on my 2020 250SD. I also noticed this in your assembly but you moved right past it. My question is this, when mounting the top of the bag with the 4 carriage bolts to the bracket previously mounted on the frame, it seems like the top of the bag lines up about 1" in front of the bracket that mounts to the frame. My concern is if you pull the bag back and continue the install, as you did, is that causing an unnecessary "torqueing" on the bag? I tried calling Air Lift today but the tech support was closed. Am I overthinking? Thoughts??

You made it look really easy. Been wanting to put a set of those air bags on my 250. I was going to have them installed but after watching your video I think I will save that install money and do it myself.

Does this help ride quality or simply to help the springs?

Can you install the bags directly on the axle? I don’t have that flat part over my axle to mount them on

How's the alignment after the level kit?

Great install video. I think heat shield should be flat but not positive. Also, can you T off the rear bag or do they need to be individual?

colocaste muy mal el escudo termico.. se coloca de las dos pestañas del centro dobladas en forma de L y se doblan las orejas hacia afuera para que disipen el calor al estar separadas del tubo de escape.. por lo demas muy buen trabajo... felicitaciones..

ممنون از ویدیو خوبتون

If vehicle is sitting on a level surface, then wheel chocks arent needed.

Don't follow this video. He missed the lower bracket cup.
