Troubleshooting An Air Leak On An AirLift Air Bag Kit
Question:
I’m just wondering if you have had any other people have problems with the airlift 5000 ultimates leaking air out over night

While issues with these kits are highly uncommon, we do deal with air leaking on rare occasion. In most cases it will be leaking from a fitting and it is easily fixable once we have found the source of the leak. A soap test is the easiest most fool-proof way of finding the source. I could probably count on one hand the number of times I have heard of this over the last several years. If I recall correctly all but one was "user error" and we were able to address and fix the issue. Anything else would be a warranty through air lift. Again, this is extremely rare. The folks at Air Lift, as well as us here at etrailer, will always stand behind our products.
All of this being said, if you are in the market for an Air Lift kit we can definitely set you up. I recommend the Load Lifter 5000 Ultimate # AL24JQ and the WirelessONE compressor # AL25980EZ. This will include absolutely everything you need for your 2022 Tundra. The wireless compressor comes with a remote and is also Bluetooth compatible and can be controlled with the Air Lift smartphone app. Keep in mind the onboard compressor is optional. Without the compressor you will just have a standard air valve on your bumper.
If you really do not want to hassle with air we could set you up with some Timbren bumpstops. These will help support the rear of the vehicle, but are not nearly as versatile as air bags. If you want to look into it I recommend part # T83MR Timbren Off-Road bumpstops. These would replace the factory bumpstops and have a 4,800 lb capacity.
