Speaker 1: Today in our 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, we'll be having a look at and installing the Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 air helper springs for the rear axle. Part number AL57204. Here's what our air bags look like installed.These airbags will operate between five minimum PSI and 100 maximum PSI. They offer up to 5000 pounds of load leveling support. So what that means is if you're towing a trailer, like a gooseneck or a Fifth Wheel and you had a 5000 pounds pen weight, this will maintain your vehicles right hight up to that amount of weight. Also, if you have a heavy load in the bed of your truck like hauling a load of rocks or gravel, you can maintain your factory right height with that amount of weight.It's important to note that these airbags don't give you an additional 5000 pounds of load carrying capacity. They will only support up to 5000 pounds on your truck. You'll never want to exceed your vehicle's gross vehicle weight reading. What sets these airbags apart from other options on the market is that these are compatible with Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck trailer hitches. You don't have to do you any modification to the attachment points for your Gooseneck or your Fifth Wheel. These have alternate installation instructions and hardware included with the kit so you can use it with or without Gooseneck hitches or Fifth Wheel hitches. Some other airbag systems in the market, you can't do that.The first thing we want to do is determine what our factory ride height is on our truck with no weight in the bed or no heavy trailer attached. We'll start the rear. We'll measure through the center of the tire on up to the top of the wheel well and we're about 38 and a half inches. So we'll record that measurement and we'll get the same one at the front. And the front we're about a 36 inches.Now the reason we're getting the measurements at the front is because when we have weight in the back of the truck, the back end will go down and the front end will rise up. When your front end rises up, your headlight angle changes. So instead of your headlights pointing directly ahead of you at the road, they're now pointing up towards the trees and could potentially blind oncoming drivers at night. Also, instead of your tires being straight up and down and having a full contact patch on the ground, you get what is called positive camber which is the tires leaning out like this. What that causes is more edge wear on the outer part of your tire. You have less traction, less grip, less steering and ability and by having the weight off of your front tires, you don't have as much braking ability in the front of your vehicle and your front brakes are what do most of your braking.So now we have about 900 pounds of weight in the back of our truck and this is to simulate towing a heavy trailer, we're having a heavy load in the bed. The rear right at 36 inches. So that means the back of the truck has come down about two and a half inches. We'll double check the front and see where that's at. At the front, we're about 36 and a half inches. So the front end of the truck has come up about half an inch where the back end came down about two and a half inches.Now that we have our airbags installed, we have the weight replaced back in the bed of our truck and we'll double check our measurements and see where they compare to the factory right height. Here we're back at 38 and a half inches so that means we're at factory right height again even with some substantial amount of weight in the bed of our truck. Now here at the front, we're back at 36 inches which was factory right height. So now that we've maintained our right height, our truck's no longer doing this. It's back to being level and maintaining our factory right height which allows our vehicle's suspension to work properly and give us the handling and the safety that we're looking for when we're towing a heavy load or we're hauling a lot of materials in the bed of our truck.Now we'll take the truck out on our test course. On the left side of this screen, you'll see what it's like without the airbags installed. As we go around corners and do evasive maneuvering, you'll notice how much body roll there is and how much lack of stability we have doing these maneuvers. As we go over the bumps, you can see our suspension bottom out and you can see that we don't have the
