Superior Load-Leveling Meets True Durability
Air Lift Company has successfully expounded on its suspension support product innovation with its new LoadLifter 5000(tm) Ultimate Plus air spring suspension line. This product takes all the benefits found in previous Air Lift load support products and adds upgraded, top-quality components promised to be the longest-lasting on the market. These include stainless steel mounting hardware, roll plates, braided air line, and military-grade AN fittings that thread together for a metal-to-metal seal. Adding LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Plus air springs to hard-working 1/2-, 3/4-, and 1-ton trucks will help evenly distribute the load’s weight to each wheel, eliminating poor braking, unresponsive steering and trailer sway that come as a result of vehicle squat. Standard installation can typically be done in two hours or less. (800-248-0892 // www.airliftcompany.com)

Store Away
DECKED releases new storage system
Whether it’s your daily driver, your foundation for work, or an avenue for adventure, extra storage space is always welcome on a truck. With DECKED’s In-Vehicle Storage Systems, you can have storage for tools and gear without impeding full use of your truck’s cargo area since the deck sits about a foot above the bed. The innovative system features a high-density polyethylene deck and two lockable storage drawers that stretch the full length of the bed, sliding out on four industrial-grade wheels. Durability is a given, as the deck and drawers are secured to a subframe made from 70 pounds of American-made galvanized steel and the system is impervious to chemicals and extreme temperatures. The deck load is rated up to 2,000 pounds, while the drawers handle up to 200 pounds each. Other features include a center I-beam with integrated rain gutter, “Ammo” cans in each corner for additional storage, and built-in bottle opener. The system is simple to install (no drilling required), comes with all necessary hardware, is covered by a three-year limited warranty, and is available for most late model GM, Ford, and Dodge/Ram full-size trucks.
