Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs

Hey everybody. I'm Hellen here at etrailer.com and we're taking a quick look at the Air Lift Loadlifter 1000 air helper Springs. These are designed to fit in between your coil on the rear of your vehicle. And this is a custom fit for the 2006 through 2018 Toyota RAV4. So if you're maybe putting some extra weight into your vehicle and you want to be able to make sure that your vehicle can support it effectively this is going to be a great way to do that. Now I will say it's not going to increase the overall payload or the amount that your vehicle is rated to carry but it's going to help to get you up to the max more safely without really kind of having any adverse effects to the driving or handling of your RAV4.

So, normally whenever you put stuff into your trunk or maybe you're doing a little towing on a back of your hitch, it'll cause some squat in the back of your vehicle, and it could affect how that your RAV4 handles your braking power, steering all that kind of stuff. So by having some kind of extra support for those quail Springs it's going to mitigate that problem. It also helps to sort of cushion the ride and make your OEM suspension lasts a bit longer since you now have another component to take the brunt of that force. But again, it doesn't allow you to increase the weight that you can carry. Just helps you to get up to that Max more effectively, kind of like a weight belt will help you get to your max safely rather than actually letting you lift more.

So this is what you're going to get in the kit. It's pretty simple. Overall, there's really no cutting or drilling required. It does have the quarter inch line that you need to go from the bags to the back of your vehicle. So you'll have the Schrader valves and all the hardware for that.

A T to connect the bags. If you want to have them just matched up together. Some folks like to keep them independent side besides you can make adjustments. If you're going to have an offset load it probably won't be such a big deal for the RAV4. You can T them together and then one valve will be able to fill both, but it's kind of up to you as far as how you want to do that.

I've seen people put those Schrader valves and all kinds of different spots. You can actually use these to sort of replace the hardware for your license plate so you can hide it on your license plate. You can put this behind the door to your gas tank. Put it at your bumper really anywhere. That's handy that you can get access to it to fill up the bags. Now you can also get a compressor to go with this to make sure that you always have air in your bags and you don't have to find a place to actually get them filled up. But, I would think that since this is rated for kind of light duty towing you probably won't really need to have a compressor or any answer unless you're going to be using these all the time. It's pretty expensive to get one. And I just would say that you probably aren't going to need it since this is just going to be there for support. One little trick that whenever you're getting these installed you want to keep the little caps that it comes with these little black guys that goes over the top of that barb fitting because it's going to really help whenever you're trying to get these in between the coils. Basically you'll just want to squeeze the bags down. Maybe even roll them up a little bit but get them as flat as you can. And then put that cap over the top. So it doesn't take any, any more air in and that'll make it a lot easier to fit that in between the coils. As far as the load leveling capacity this does help up to a thousand pounds, but again it doesn't increase your overall weight carrying capacity. They have an adjustable air pressure between five pounds per square inch and 35. So between five PSI and 35 PSI, this is covered by a limited lifetime warranty and a satisfaction guarantee from airlift and they are made in the USA. That's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the airlift 1000 air helper Springs. I hope this video has been helpful in the setting of this is the right kit for you.
