Heavy loads can make the back of your vehicle sag and throw off how it handles and brakes. The Air Lift 1000 Universal Air Spring Kit adds up to 1,000 lbs of load-leveling support inside your rear coil springs to keep everything level and steady. With the added support, your steering and braking stay predictable, your headlight aim stays correct, and your tires wear evenly even when hauling or towing.
Every load is different, so having control over air pressure makes a big difference. These polyurethane air springs let you manually adjust pressure from 5 psi up to 35 psi for greater than 1" spring pitch or up to 50 psi for less than 1". You can inflate each spring independently using the included Schrader valves to even out off-center loads. Add more air for towing or hauling, then lower it back down for unloaded driving—your setup adapts easily to whatever you’re carrying.
With the air springs taking up strain that normally hits your factory coils, handling feels more planted on the road. The system absorbs bumps and reduces sway so you get better ride quality when loaded down. It helps prevent bottoming out and keeps the suspension working in its ideal range for a more stable feel through corners and rough stretches.
The air springs are constructed of durable polyurethane that holds up under real-world use. Each kit includes two air springs, two heat shields, tubing, Schrader valves, and hardware for installation inside your rear coil spring suspension. It’s a straightforward setup that gives lasting support without adding extra weight or complexity to your suspension.

Ellen: Hey everybody, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com, and we're taking a quick look at the Air Lift 1000 Universal Air Spring Kit. This helps to support your OEM suspension if you're putting any kind of extra weight in your vehicle, maybe you're hauling around extra people, or you're carrying around more gear than normal and it's causing some extra sag in the back end of your vehicle that can affect the overall handling of your vehicle, when you bring that back end of your vehicle down it brings the front end up just a little bit, and a little bit is all you need to start feeling a difference in how your vehicle connects with the road, it can affect your braking, how your steering handles, all kinds of stuff. So this kit is going to be there to help support that, bring your vehicle back to factory ride height, and eliminate a lot of those issues.This is great for those vehicles that you're putting a lot of weight in the back of the actual vehicle itself, not necessarily towing. It can help there, but if you're putting a lot of weight further back then the rear axle, you actually probably want to go with a weight distribution set if your vehicle's rated for that. So just something to keep in mind there. But as far as how this is going to fit, you'll need to check your coil springs in your vehicle and follow the chart that's at the bottom of the page to make sure that this is a fit for you.
It's not intended for vehicles with struts, or with coil over shocks, or coil springs that have internal jounce bumpers. So just something to keep in mind there. It doesn't increase the overall payload of your vehicle or how much weight you can actually carry. It just helps you to carry it better, if that makes sense.So let's take a quick look at actually what comes in the kit. You'll get your two air springs here.
These are going to go in between those coils and just help to expand and hold those coils a little bit stiffer, so you can dial in that pressure where you need it to be to make sure that everything sits nice and level. You want to hold onto these little caps that come on the air springs. This really helps whenever you're getting them installed, because basically you're just going to push out the air in the spring as much as you can, maybe even flatten it out and roll it up, whatever you need to do to just get that air out, put that cap over it, and that'll keep it from taking any more air in, and that makes it a lot easier to get this in between your coil springs. So just a little trick there for getting the install done.We'll get our quarter inch air tube to connect to those springs, and then those are going to go to the Schrader valves. You can set these or install these pretty much wherever you want.
Most people put them at the rear of their vehicle next to the bumper. I've seen some people actually use them as a way to attach their license plate, so you kind of replace the factory hardware there with these guys. You can also put them behind your gas door, a nice, sleek way to do it. Really is up to you as far as how you want to get that installed. But it comes with all the hardware there, you'll get a little T to T between them if you want to merge those two bags together so that they lift and lower at the same rate.
If you keep them separate and you can lift them independently.You'll also get two heat shields. So these are going to go in between the bags and your exhaust to make sure that there's no heat damage, and then it also comes with the hose clamps to go around that exhaust and hold those heat shields in place. You'll need two per heat shield. And then we also get a fun sticker, some zip ties to secure our quarter inch air tube. With that air tube you want to be really careful whenever you're running this to keep it away from anything hot, like your exhaust or anything moving, like your suspension itself. So keep it away from those springs overall. And you also don't want to drag this across any sharp edges, that can cause a little grooves in the air tubing, and it can sometimes puncture through and cause leaks, so you don't want that to happen.That's pretty much it as far as the install, it's pretty simple, pretty straightforward. These do give you a load leveling capacity of up to a thousand pounds. Again, it doesn't increase your payload, it's just there to help support that weight. If you think of it like wearing a weight belt or a back brace whenever you're weightlifting, it doesn't help you max out any higher, it just helps you get to that max safely and effectively. So that's kind of what these are going to do for you.That pressure can go between five PSI and 35 PSI if you have greater than one inch spring pitch. If you have less than one inch spring pitch, it can go from five PSI up to 50. So you always want to have at least five pounds of pressure in the bags at all times, and that just helps to make sure that they're working properly. They are covered by a limited lifetime warranty, and made in the USA. That's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the Air Lift Universal kit, I hope this video's been helpful in deciding if this is the right kit for you. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com, thanks for watching..

This product did everything I hoped it would, no more bounce and sway while towing. I would recommend these air bags to anyone towing a trailer.

Holy cow, so it’s been over a year, I have had no problems at all matter fact, I forgot the airbags were even on there, they’ve held air once I got them where I want them. I have not even touch them they work fantastic, like I said 10 years ago I used them on the wife’s car and I came back because it’s such a great product, kudos to airlift.

Another year and the bags are still working great. They are used every time we do a trip with our camper. No issues note: you will experience minor pressure decrease over time but nothing major.
