Heavy loads can make the rear of your vehicle sag, throwing off handling, braking, and headlight aim. The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs add up to 1,000 lbs of load-leveling support inside your existing coil springs to keep your ride level and balanced. By backing up your stock rear suspension, these molded polyurethane air springs help maintain normal ride height and reduce strain on your tires and suspension parts when you haul or tow.
Every load is different, and these air springs let you fine-tune your setup to match. With adjustable air pressure from 5 psi to 35 psi, you can inflate when hauling gear to stay level and deflate when empty for a smoother ride. Each spring can be inflated independently using dual air lines (if installed) to correct uneven or off-center loads. Manual inflation valves make it easy to set the pressure exactly where you need it.
When bumps or curves try to push your vehicle around, these tough molded polyurethane springs absorb road shock and reduce sway so your ride feels more stable. They help eliminate bottoming out under load while keeping steering response clean and confident. The rugged construction resists wear and keeps air sealed tight for consistent performance mile after mile.
Adding support doesn’t have to be complicated. This kit installs inside your rear coil spring suspension using standard tools and comes with all necessary parts—two air springs, heat shields, tubing, Schrader valves, and hardware. The instructions are clear, making it easy for DIYers to get everything mounted and ready to go without guesswork. For added convenience later on, you can connect a compressor system (sold separately) to monitor or adjust pressure on demand.
Air Lift 1000 springs will not increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity. Do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight limit.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at these Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for rear coil springs. Now, these springs are going to fit your 2021 and newer Ford Bronco Sport and the 2020 and newer Ford Escape. Hauling or towing heavy loads can cause the back of your Bronco Sport or Escape to squat and add unnecessary stress to your suspension. This stress not only affects your brakes in a bad way, but your tires, headlight aim, and handling suffer as well. To improve your vehicle's ability to endure heavier loads, you need to add support to your existing coil springs. Now, these springs are constructed of a durable molded polyurethane, and they install inside your vehicle's rear coil spring suspension.
They're gonna give you 1,000 pounds of load-leveling support to improve safety and ride quality on your Bronco Sport or Escape. They will support your existing rear coil spring suspension when you're hauling or towing heavier loads, keeping it level, and they will improve steering and braking performance. They're gonna help maintain your headlight aim and they will reduce tire wear and suspension strain. They're also going to diminish sway and absorb road shock, providing improved stability and ride quality. Now, the air pressure in these springs have a range of 5 psi to 35 psi.
You do need to maintain at least five psi in the springs, and you can mainly adjust the air pressure to get even load distribution and support that you need. And with the installation of dual air lines, you can inflate each spring independently for side-to-side leveling of any off-center loads. The manual inflation valves are typically mounted on your bumper, so they are easy to reach. Now, for even more convenience and control, you can add a compressor engage system, which will let you monitor and automatically inflate your air springs, and we do sell those separately on our website. This kit is going to include everything that you see before me.
Of course, you're gonna get the two air springs, you're also gonna get air line tubing, the Schrader valves that we've already mentioned, and all of the hardware for installation and cable ties to take up any slack of your air line tubing. You will also get instructions to help you in your install, guiding you step-by-step, but also, informing you on how you can best use this system. It is made in the USA, and again, the load-leveling capacity is up to 1,000 pounds. However, it is important to note that these springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity, so you do wanna make sure that you don't exceed your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you.
Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me..

The helpers look great on your Hummer, Rob! What kind of travel trailer are you hauling?

I have towed my RV several times over the last year and these helper springs work perfectly! I had a very small air leak but I added some silicone at the airline connections and it is 100 percent! I carry a battery powered air compressor with me and it’s basically a “set it and forget it” systems.

Glad they are working well for you, Scott! I gotta ask, did you do the AHC delete as it was worn our or did you just not particularly like it? I've heard people do this for either reason.

The air springs are still operating as well as the day I installed them. They do not leak any air pressure nor have they degraded in any way. What a great and simple solution that lasts.

Well, after going back and forth - basically it comes down to - 60 day drive warranty doesnt compute. So after spending $300 on install, now Im expected to spend another $300-$400 to have them removed to return them, oh and pay for return. So roughly $800 to get back $130. Ill chalk this up to understanding that if a product doesnt work out in any manner. To remove these, you have to take the rearend of the car off - shocks and springs - then try to get the bags out of a much smaller ending without damaging otherwise youll not refund. Basically no support, other than a were sorry.

Thanks for the great follow-up review, Jimmy! Glad to hear the system made such a noticeable difference in both ride quality and suspension support, even when you’re not towing. It’s also great to hear the install videos helped out along the way. Air connections can definitely be the most finicky part of the install, so we appreciate you mentioning that for others considering the setup. Sounds like the end result was well worth the effort on your Pathfinder. Thanks again for sharing your experience a year later!

I have gotten in touch with the manufacturer and they have suggested that, since the Bronco has multiple different styles for the Sport, it is certainly possible that ford made some changes since they launched the Bronco. I have sent your information over to our customer service department for them get this situation resolved. They should be getting in touch with you soon.
