Features to know about

Keep the Rear End Level and Stable: Up to 2,000 lbs of Load-Leveling Support

Heavy loads can make the back of your vehicle sag, throwing off handling and braking. The Air Lift Ride Control air springs add up to 2,000 lbs of load-leveling support between the frame and leaf springs to keep your ride level and stable. They reduce strain on your factory suspension, help maintain proper headlight aim, and even out tire wear so everything stays balanced under load. Steering and braking feel more controlled, and the vehicle tracks straight even when the rear is working hard.

Fine-Tune Your Ride: Adjustable from 5 psi to 100 psi

Every haul is different, so being able to dial in support makes a big difference. These air springs let you adjust air pressure anywhere from 5 psi to 100 psi for the exact amount of firmness you need. Inflate each spring independently for side-to-side leveling on uneven loads or run them evenly for front-to-rear balance. Manual inflation valves mount on the bumper or wherever is most convenient, giving you simple control over how your suspension feels.

Smooth Out Rough Roads: Diminishes Sway and Absorbs Road Shock

Bumps and sway can wear you out on long drives or rough pavement. Ride Control cushions the rear suspension to absorb road shock and reduce bouncing so your ride stays smooth. With less sway and movement from heavy cargo or a hitched trailer, you get steadier handling through curves and crosswinds and a more comfortable feel over every mile.

Set Up with Confidence: Straightforward Installation with Alignment Tool

Installing extra suspension support shouldn’t be complicated. The kit includes all mounting brackets, hardware, tubing, Schrader valves for manual inflation, and an exclusive alignment tool that centers each spring perfectly between the frame and leaf spring. That alignment keeps the bags from rubbing against underbed components so they last longer. Once in place, you can count on consistent performance backed by a lifetime warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee.

Video Transcript for Review of Air Lift Vehicle Suspension - Ride Control Air Helper Springs Rear Axle - AL59529

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs for your rear axle. Now on your screen, I am including all of the vehicles that this kit is going to fit. So before you order this, please go through our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Enter the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for your particular vehicle or if we have something comparable that will work for you.

Now these springs are going to install between your vehicle's frame and its leaf springs, giving your vehicle up to 2000 pounds of load leveling support. That's gonna help reduce the strain on your rear suspension and improve both safety and the quality of your ride. These are designed for light to medium duty trucks, vans, and SUVs with leaf springs. And these air springs are going to, when they're installed, they're going to give you the experience of a comfortable, smooth, and safe ride that you're used to enjoying when you're not hauling. So they're gonna help reduce the strain that loads can put on your truck, saving you money in potential repairs.

And everything on your vehicle, as you probably know, suffers from the stress of hauling or towing loads, your brakes, your tires, your handling ability. Even your headlight aim can be thrown off. Without some kind of reinforcement for your factory suspension system, you could be putting the life expectancy of your truck at risk. This adjustable air springing kit is going to give your suspension the extra support that it needs when you're not carrying heavy cargo. By providing equal load distribution, they're gonna lessen the stress that your truck has to endure.

Now these airbags are adjustable from five to 100 PSI. So you're gonna be able to get that perfect amount of support for any size load. And the springs can be inflated independently of one another for front to rear or side to side leveling. And this system's also easy to install and it's gonna be very easy to maintain. This system comes with manual inflation valves that are typically mounted on the bumper, but can be installed anywhere on your vehicle for easy access.

Now, for even more convenience and control, you could add a compressor and a gauge system. That's sold separately, but you can find it under the related products tab on this product page. But something like that will let you monitor and automatically inflate your air springs. An exclusive alignment tool is gonna be included with your kit, and that tool's going to allow you to install each air springing so it's centered perfectly between your vehicle's leaf spring and frame. That's gonna help prevent damage caused by the spring rubbing up against the under bed components, ensuring lasting suspension support. This kit is made here in the USA. It includes everything that you see here on my table before me. You're gonna get the hardware, the valves, and everything that you need to get this installed in place, the brackets for your vehicle and of course, instructions to guide you through that installation process. Now again, this kit has a load leveling capacity of 2000 pounds, but it is important to note that these springs do not actually increase your truck's weight carrying capacity. So you do wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Glad you like it, Scott! What are you typically towing?

These have been awesome and totally changed my truck. I have a 1st Gen (2000) Tacoma. These have allowed me to load/tow right up to max recommended weight. Before these the truck was scary to drive when it was 1/2 loaded. It is much safer and easier to drive now. I love being able to add air when I need it. Since I already had a lift kit on the truck, the installation required me to fab a small bracket to make things fit, but it wasn't a big deal. Customer support was excellent answering questions.

This kit is exactly what I wanted. The weight of my trailer tongue varies between 150# and 300#, depending on the loading of the trailer. I need the ability to account for the trailer tongue weight. This air lift kit allows me to easily level the truck with air pressure to account for various loads whether in the truck or trailer. PS - ETrailer.com is the place to purchase. They are an excellent business with great support.

Great! Ive used air lift kits on 5 different vehicles. I always purchase the kit specifically recommended for the respective vehicle. I highly recommend them.

Great system installation was not too hard. I drive a Ford E150 van full of tools, and it was sagging in the rear now I'm ridding level again and going over speed bumps without bouncing all over the place. Nice system at a good price.

That is great to hear, and it looks nice on that E150! I am glad its got you back to level, and instead of speed mountains they are back to normal speed bumps without all the movement lol. Did you install yourself?

I was pulling a heavy trailer and wanted the airbags for stabilization and leveling. It worked even better than I expected. Was very easy to install too took less than two hours.
by:
1999 Toyota Tacoma
It was pretty straight forward it took me a bit longer to install but I was being overly cautious. Also a bit hesitant to drill holes in the frame but after installing it, i wasn't to worried about it. My friend ordered the same set up for his toyota and we'll be installing it the week. It helps the ride wether you are hauling or empty. I give it 5 stars on installation and final performance.

I bought these to take the bounce out of the truck when pulling my front end heavy enclosed trailer. Worked fantastic. Kit came with everything needed and only took about 30 minutes to install.

Way to go on the install! Glad these have worked well for you :) would you have any install advice for anyone combing the reviews for helpful tidbits?

by:
Product was as advertised, and the install went smoothly. Toyota Tacomas are infamous for sagging rear ends, and these air springs handle that well. For now I can only comment on installation, as I've yet to load the truck with a heavy trailer. All parts can be mounted comfortably by jacking up the rear axle and removing a wheel. I didn't have any alignment troubles, and the instructions were specific to these parts and my truck. Buyers should be aware that air springs require regular checks to make sure they are inflated to a minimum pressure. I can easily reach in and squeeze the spring to check inflation, and it's faster than pulling out a pressure gage.

Ive now crossed the country several times with a 2,500 lb travel trailer. The air springs leveled the truck well, and no one flashes their high-beams at me anymore after dark. I will concur with the review below that the truck now bottoms out much sooner when empty and with reduced pressure in the springs. That may be normal, but its literally shocking and unexpected.

2024 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss. These Airbags far exceeded my expectations. Installation was straightforward and took less than an hour to install.
I carry a lot of tools and equipment in my bed and these airbags keep my truck level. I put 30 PSI in each bag and haven’t lost any pressure in 2 months since they were installed.
I highly recommend this product. Also awesome Customer service when ordered
by:
great company to work with, they sent me a new air bag when mine had a leak and the shipping was fast. the install was a little difficult, had to drill holes in the frame. i have the silverado 1500 classic 07 so most aftermarket parts need some modifications anyways. i’m now able to haul comfortably without “trailer squat”

@Caroline We're glad your Air Lift helper springs are working well for you!
by:
Yeah really good. I haul heavy wet firewood often. 2000lbs is a guess in my Toyota pickup. That weight not possible without these airbags. They get used often. No leaks. Really happy with them. Love carrying a bike pump around and pumping up after weight is on. Instal wasn't too bad as I recall. Has to bring out the grinder for a second or two.

2019 F150 FX4 W/suspension level kit. Straight forward install. Easily leveled the truck back out while towing a 24' bay boat with bed loaded down too. recommend for similar applications!

Great experience working with everyone at etrailer. Very helpful and attentive to what I needed. Thanks again to all of their team!
by:
The AirLift system we talked about a couple weeks ago was sent to my daughter, Kristi's house. I installed it yesterday. I'm on the road, which isn't the best place to do the installation. My father in law didn't have any socket wrenches so I started with a couple 9/16 open end wrenches. These don't work for everything. I went to the local hardware store and bought what I needed. The driver side went on much easier. The hardest bolt was the top one requiring the socket wrench to hold the nut inside the frame. I had to feel for the nut since it was hidden next to an existing frame bolt. I was able to simply jack the back of the truck up at the hitch to gain clearance. I didn't have to remove the wheels. The nylon lock nut was fun to tighten. AirLift should have supplied a simple wrench for this. I found a vice grip needle nose plier worked well enough.

Here are three photos. First is passenger side, second tries to show where top nut goes, third is drivers side. I have then filled to 28psi and will check them this morning.

I found needs to be extremely helpful. I have a 1997 Econoline 150 Ford van. It was a conversion van so lots of extra weight. The back leaf springs were obviously struggling as it rode low without a trailer or any significant load. After installing the air springs, and charging them 1/3 of capacity Or 35 PSI, the ride drastically improved. Shortly after installing them I pulled a 24 foot trailer with a medium load on it, and it drastically improved the ride compared to pulling a trailer previously. Highly recommended and cheaper than new high-quality leaf springs.
by:
2015 Chevrolet Colorado
Install these on my 2015 Chevy Colorado. I pull a fairly big travel trailer and although it's no problem pulling it I had noticed that over the last couple of years the rear of the truck was gradually sagging more. The AirLift fixed it right up.
The ride now inspires more confidence and I definitely have more control over the whole rig.
Installation was fairly easy. I'm pretty handy but quite green when it comes to vehicles so I would say it's accessible to anyone with a handy thumb. I even managed to install them without removing the wheels. It took a bit longer and required more up and down with the car jack but since I did it a couple of hours at a time over a couple of days it allowed me to still drive during the installation process.
I'm am a huge fan and would recommend it to anyone.
by:
2008 Hummer H3
I purchased and installed this kit on my 2008 Hummer H3 Alpha to assist the rear springs for towing my heavy jet ski trailer, and it preformed flawlessly. Straightforward install, great quality product, and the bags are holding up really well to the abuse I've put them through. I definitely recommend this kit to anyone considering purchasing it for their rig.
by:
Chevrolet Astro
The product is as described. My springs are starting to sag and I wanted to return the ride without replacing the springs. I was able to adjust the ride. This will definitely help when loaded or trailering.
The install was good with the instructions, but note that the hardened steel frame sleeve (2003 GMC Astro) was a bear to drill through and chewed up drill bits. Just a note for your install. Had it on for three days. I'll update review if things change.
by:
2012 Ford F-150
Product arrived in just a couple of days and was very easy to install. Only took an hour. When I filled the system with air I found a leak on the bag itself. Called Rebecca at etrailer and she gave me the number to air lift and she would check with me in a couple of days. I called airlift and had a new bag in two days. Rebecca did email me and ask if everything was ok. Hooked the camper up and tried it out and man did it work great. This was a great buying experience and will soon purchase the on board air compressor from etrailer
by:
Had this kit installed by pros. It seems to work as advertised on my E150 Ford van
by:
Install was simple. Took me 2 1/2 hours by myself, plus my buddy 1 hour to weld on a nice bracket for the air valves on the back bumper (see pics). Instructions were confusing and nomenclature did not match parts, but I eventually got it figured out. There are also two spots in the instructions that tell you not to tighten certain nuts down so that you can adjust the bags later, but it never tells you when or how to tighten them later.

I recommend you jack up the rear axle and remove the rear tires so you have plenty of room to move around and install this.

System looks really nice on the pickup, and you can hardly tell there's anything on there unless you are looking closely. Even while almost empty, the bags push the rear of the pickup up a little bit which looks cool. And it seems to ride smoother now too. I have not tried it with pulling cargo or a trailer yet, and will update this review if I don't notice anything good.
by:
Smoothed out the ride helps with the heavy loads ( sm. Pickup) did not lift quite as high as I thought (loaded) very happy with the purchase, install was a breeze.
by:
2023 Toyota Tacoma
Overall the install went well. I had to cold bend the upper brackets to fit properly. The upper bracket has an oval cut out to receive the top of the airbag. A nylon nut and serrated washer is used to connect the airbag to the upper bracket. I didn't like the fact that that connection could slide back and forth in the oval. So I cut a piece of plate to fit in the oval and welded it. Then I set both upper and lower brackets in place figured out the layout and drilled around hole to receive the upper nipple of the airbag. Rock solid set up that way. The truck is in the process of receiving an aluminum flatbed.

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement that Fits 2003 GMC Sonoma ZR2 4WD
    Hey Nick, the suspension between the 2WD and the 4WD versions of the 2003 Chevy S-10 is more than just additional ride height. The 4WD versions have disc brakes whereas 2WD has drum. The rear shocks are longer to accommodate wider tire widths. The 4WD models also have longer axles. So what that means is that the air bag kits just don't fit in the area on the vehicle so you'd need to go a different route like with the Hellwig part # HE72FR.

  • Air Helper Springs Recommendation For a 2002 Dodge Durango
    If you were interested in towing a trailer, and were planning on using the suspension system to overcome the sag that occurs when the trailer is hitched, I would recommend using a weight distribution system, like part # RP66074, that is properly sized for towing the trailer you will be towing with your Durango, as long as the hitch on you Durango is compatible with weight distribution systems. The reason I do not recommend going with an air bag or suspension helper like Timbren, is that...

  • What is the PSI of the Air Bags for a Chevrolet S-10?
    The Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs item # AL59529 for Chevrolet S-10s have an air pressure range of 5 psi - 100 psi. The psi will be determined based on your comfort desire and the weight of the load being put on your S-10.

  • Air Lift Air Helper Spring Recommendation for a 2000 Dodge Durango with a 2 inch Lift
    Yes, the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs # AL59529 that you referenced will work on your 2000 Dodge Durango, but since you have a 2 inch lift you will also need the Air Lift Lock-N-Lift Spacers # AL52130. The # AL52130 is basically a 2 inch spacer that allows the # AL59529 to work by taking up the additional space your lift kit created. I attached installation instructions for you to check out also.
