Heavy loads can make the rear of your truck sag, throwing off balance and steering. The Air Lift Ride Control air springs add up to 2,000 lbs of load-leveling support to keep your truck level when hauling gear, trailers, or campers. With the suspension leveled out, steering and braking stay predictable, headlight aim remains correct, and your tires wear evenly. It’s the simple fix that makes every loaded trip safer and smoother.
Every load is different, and this setup lets you dial in exactly what you need. Inflate both springs together for front-to-rear leveling or adjust each side independently to even out off-center loads. With pressure range from 5 psi to 100 psi, you can run light pressure when empty for a comfortable ride or pump them up for extra support when loaded down. Manual inflation valves mount on your bumper for easy access, and you can add an optional compressor system later for automatic adjustment.
When roads get rough or a trailer starts to push from behind, these air springs help keep things steady. Installed between the frame and leaf springs, they take on part of the load so your factory suspension doesn’t have to work as hard. The result is less sway and bounce on highways or uneven terrain and a smoother ride whether you’re towing or hauling daily.
Longevity matters when you’re counting on air support every day. This kit includes durable air springs, brackets, hardware, tubing, Schrader valves, and an alignment tool that ensures each spring sits centered between the frame and leaf spring for long-lasting performance. Air Lift backs it all with a lifetime warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, showing just how confident they are in the Ride Control system’s durability.

Today we're going to take a look at the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs for the Rear Axle.Now, this is a custom-fit part. It is designed to fit the 2004 to 2015 Nissan Titan trucks, and on a custom-fit part like this I always like to recommend for you to go to the website, use our fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle, and it'll show if this'll work for your application.Now, this kit will provide your vehicle with up to 2,000 pounds of load leveling support. Helps reduce strain on your rear suspension, and improves both safety and ride quality. Now, this is designed for light to medium duty trucks, vans, SUVs with lead springs. This will help keep your vehicle level when you're hauling a heavy load, improves your steering and braking performance, and it'll help to maintain safe headlighting. It will even keep your tires from wearing unevenly.
It'll let you manually adjust the air pressure to get even load distribution and support that you need, so you can level your vehicle front to rear. And with the installation of dual air lines, you can inflate each spring independently for side-to-side leveling of any off-center loads. This will help reduce the strain on your OEM suspension that can be caused by extremely heavy loads, and that improves overall stability and ride quality. Helps diminish sway and absorb road shock for a nice smooth ride.Now, these will install between your vehicle's frame and its lead springs. The manual inflation valves are typically mounted on the bumper for easy access.
Now, this kit will include everything right out here on the table: the two air springs, the air line tubing, the mounting brackets, all the hardware to install it, some nice cable ties, and then the Schrader valves for manual inflation.Now, you can add a compressor system with in-cab gauges to monitor and automatically adjust the air pressure. Those items we do sell separately on our website, and they're listed on this product page as a related product. These parts are made in the U.S.A.A few specs on this. The load leveling capacity is up to 2,000 pounds. Now, these ride control springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity, so you do want to make sure not to exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight limit.
The springs are adjustable from 5 p.s.i. up to 100 p.s.i., and it does come with this nice installation manual. It'll describe how everything installs and how it operates.But that should do it for the review on the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs for the Rear Axle.

Ratings & Reviews
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.
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.
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.
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
Had this kit installed by pros. It seems to work as advertised on my E150 Ford van
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Great experience working with everyone at etrailer. Very helpful and attentive to what I needed. Thanks again to all of their team!
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.
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 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”
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
I love this system. It is perfect for leveling up my truck when hauling and towing.
excellent service merci
Product was as described,and etrailer had my product wrapped and ready to ship same day. USPS let the package set in Missouri for three days before getting it underway to me. They dropped the ball.
Pretty decent instructions,did it in my garage,basic tools to install (for me anyway). Took me about 1.5 hours to do the first side (learning curve), half that to do the other. Best $300 I have spent on a suspension mod - if you're struggling with hitch height, weight transfer/anti-sway devices or leveling issues, this is THE fix - add air as needed, and head out!
