Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident: Up to 2,000 lbs of Rear Suspension Support

Heavy trailers or bed loads can weigh down your rear suspension, making steering and braking feel unstable. The Air Lift Ride Control air springs add up to 2,000 lbs of load-leveling support between the frame and leaf springs, keeping your vehicle level under load. With even weight distribution, you maintain steady handling, proper headlight aim, and better tire wear even when towing or hauling.

Dial In the Ride You Want: Adjustable Air Pressure from 5 psi to 100 psi

Not every trip carries the same weight. These air springs let you fine-tune your support with adjustable air pressure between 5 psi and 100 psi. Add air when towing or hauling to stabilize the rear end, then drop pressure when unloaded for a smoother ride. Each spring can be inflated independently through manual Schrader valves for side-to-side leveling when loads aren’t centered.

Smooth Out Rough Roads: Dampens Sway and Road Shock

Factory suspension can struggle with bounce and sway when carrying heavy cargo. Ride Control air springs absorb road shock and reduce body movement for a controlled, comfortable ride even over uneven pavement. By taking strain off your OEM suspension, they help preserve handling confidence and reduce wear on key components.

Straightforward Setup for the DIYer: Alignment Tool and All Hardware Included

Installing extra suspension support doesn’t have to be complicated. This kit includes two air springs, mounting brackets, hardware, an alignment tool, tubing, and Schrader valves for manual inflation. The included alignment tool ensures each spring is centered correctly between the leaf spring and frame to prevent rubbing or damage. Once installed, you can mount the inflation valves on the bumper for easy access or add an optional compressor system for automatic adjustment.

Should have done it sooner. Installed on 2011 Exterra. Allows me to load it down. Tightens up the ride with a load and even without.
by:
2008 Nissan Xterra
Customer support could not tell me if this kit would work on a 2x4 so they called the manufacturer for me and they promised to pay the return shipping if it didn't work. Great service from eTrailer and great support/communication from Air Lift.

The kit does indeed work on a 2008 2 wheel drive Xterra. I did not use the included e-brake cable brackets, I found that to use them I would have had to unbolt the factory e-brake cable brackets. It was much more elegant to simply bend the factory e-brake brackets down and therfore out of the way of the air shock. I mounted the shrader valves in the bracket where the 7 pin trailer wiring connector is mounted.

Great product. Really improves ride while towing
by:
2010 Nissan Xterra
First of all, this is the second time I've relied on etrailer.com for equipment for my 2010 NISSAN Xterra and each time they have been extremely helpful, and shipping has been immediate. I pull a 3800 lb. boat which has considerable tongue weight for its size. The load causes the rear end of my vehicle to drop several inches. I'm hoping the new ride control package will help stabilize the vehicle and provide better pulling and control.

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

by:
toyota Tacoma
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”

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!
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.

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.

Great experience working with everyone at etrailer. Very helpful and attentive to what I needed. Thanks again to all of their team!
by:
1997 Nissan Leaf
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.

  • Availability Of Air Spring Cradles For Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs
    Hello Ahmad, thanks for reaching out. There is not an air spring cradle made for the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs # AL59562. Air lift does make cradles part # AL59DQ, but these are only for their LoadLifter 5000 air bag kits. Sadly, that would not be an option for the 2007 Nissan Xterra. We do have some other great suspension enhancement options for your vehicle though. Are you towing a trailer? If so, what kind? Will you be going offroad? Let me know what you have going...

  • Can I Still Use the AirLift Helper Springs with the Dobinsons 2.5" Suspension Lift Kit?
    Hi Tom, Since the Dobinsons 2.5" suspension lift kit completely replaces the stock suspension and raises the leaf springs, you'll need to do some measurements to make sure the AirLift Helper Springs kit part # AL59562 would fit properly. The distance between the axle and frame will be increased and the # Al59562 was designed around the stock suspension. I'd recommend measuring the distance from the bottom of the frame rail to the top of the axle at normal ride height and comparing it...

  • Air Lift Air Bag Kit Fitment for a 2014 Nissan Xterra
    The only Air Lift kit that fits your 2014 Nissan Xterra is their Ride Control: - Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs # AL59562 This is a little different than the 1000 you're asking about but it essentially operates the same. It's designed for a 4-wheel drive and can help with up to 2,000 lbs as well. If you plan on using the air bags fairly frequently I also recommend picking up the Air Lift Air Shock Controller Compressor System # AL25804 so you can monitor and adjust the air...

  • Will Air Springs Help a Rear Suspension on 2007 Nissan Xterra Towing a Trailer
    Yes, the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs, part # AL59562, will work on our 2007 Nissan Xterra and help reduce the strain on your vehicle when towing a trailer. These springs have a load leveling capacity of 2,000 lbs, but you will need to remember it will not increase your vehicles weight carrying capacity. This kit does install with separate manual air valves, which will allow you to manually adjust the springs side-to-side to compensate for loads that might not be centered on...

  • How To Determine If You Need Weight Distribution Or Rear Suspension Enhancements
    I will say that although suspension enhancements are the best option to enhance/increase your suspension's effectiveness and wear life, if you are in any way looking to level the load of a trailer and/or reduce trailer sway, the best option would be to use a weight distribution. The use of a weight distribution system is recommended if your gross trailer weight (GTW) is more than 50% of your vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). In order to choose the correct weight distribution...

    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL59562 have a maximum capacity of 100 PSI. This kit is verified to fit 2005 - 2015 Nissan Xterras. To better use this air suspension kit I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount item # AL74000EZ. Air Lift's premium, wireless, onboard compressor system with Bluetooth allows you to fill your air springs at the touch of a button....

  • Will Air Helper Springs Help to Eliminate the Rear End Sag on a 2007 Nissan Xterra
    The Air Lift Ride Control, part # AL59562, is designed to fit your vehicle and will help somewhat with vehicle sag and or weak suspension when towing. The air bags are aired up using a valve, similar to a valve stem in a wheel on your vehicle, that is mounted at the back of the vehicle, usually by the license plate. The issue you are encountering may be able to be solved in other ways that will be better in the long run though. The first thing I would do is, check the actual trailer weight...
