Features to know about
Keep Your Truck Level Under Load: Up to 2,000 lbs of Rear Suspension Support
When you hook up a trailer or drop a heavy load in the bed, rear-end sag can throw off your handling and braking. The Air Lift Ride Control air helper springs add up to 2,000 lbs of load-leveling support to keep things even. They help your suspension carry weight without bottoming out, maintaining safe headlight aim and reducing strain on your factory setup. The result is a level stance, better steering response, and steadier braking when the load gets heavy.
Dial In Your Ride: Adjustable Air Pressure from 5 psi to 100 psi
Every load is different, and these air springs let you fine-tune your truck’s stance and comfort. Inflate each spring independently to level side-to-side or front-to-rear as needed. With pressure ranging from 5 psi to 100 psi, you can soften things up for everyday driving or firm them for towing stability. Manual inflation valves mount conveniently on the bumper for easy reach, and the system can be upgraded later with an onboard compressor for in-cab control.
Smooth Out the Bumps: Air Springs That Absorb Shock and Reduce Sway
Even on rough roads or when towing long distances, these air bags help smooth out the ride. They cushion bumps, minimize sway, and cut down on bounce that can make steering feel loose. By helping distribute weight evenly across your suspension, they keep your tires planted and wear even—so every mile feels more controlled and predictable.
Easy Setup That Fits Right: Complete Kit with Alignment Tool
Installing extra suspension support doesn’t need to be complicated. This kit mounts between your frame and leaf springs using included brackets, hardware, tubing, and Schrader valves. An exclusive alignment tool centers each air spring perfectly during installation to prevent rubbing against underbed components. It’s a straightforward setup built for DIYers who want reliable performance without guesswork.
Built to Last With Confidence: Lifetime Warranty Protection
Ride Control springs are designed for long-term reliability so you can depend on them season after season. They come backed by a lifetime warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, so you can test them out knowing they’re made to handle real-world hauling without air leaks or performance loss over time.

Air Lift seemingly well engineered--brackets fit,bags fit,however, the 3/8 bolt that holds the driver side bracket up , as furnished, was too short..on that side, the brake lines are bolted to the frame in front of the access hole for the wrench ( whatever style) to be used to hold the head of the bolt..A longer bolt had to be substituted so as to be able to pinch the bolt from the downside..Also, the air fitting from bag to hose was defective(1) after installing bags, I had to remove one, awaiting parts, not very happy about this..hope things work well when new fitting arrives..At 71 yrs and having spent 4 hours doing a 2 hr job working under my truck, I am not real happy. sure hope .I don't find out those fittings are mfg in china!! 138352

The Air Lift on my chevy pickup works great. I am able to add about 70-80 lbs. of pressure when towing my camping trailer and it levels it out perfectly. Makes it pull much easier and the hitch doesn't hit rocks, etc. when going off road with the camper. 817623

( 2012 Chevrolet Silverado LT 4x4 EXT cab 6'6' bed) Easy to install, directions are straight forward for a typical install, and mine wasn't a typical install but altered some brackets for easier installation, problem was I installed the 10 bolt base rail mounting kit(30035) for a fifth wheel as directed per instructions and the short brackets ended up 1" in where the bracket for the air lift need to sit, took my short brackets off and took them to a well qualified machine shop and had them modify them and the brackets to the air lift too make them a one piece unit, other than that I would have to re-drill holes for the fifth wheel thru the frame and move everything back and I didn't want to sacrifice any more holes in the bed and frame, I suggest Air lift and Reese hitch review the bracket and measurements to help improve a not so typical installation and also might want to look at different bracket measurements for other fifth wheel installs, I know this could only be a possible one off situation.. On an ending note I was rather surprised with the look and the ride after the install and I don't foresee any issues when I put the truck under a load I would recommend this product everyone if they want to beef up the 1/2 ton truck for a more comfortable and safer ride, The install after bracket modifications only too an hour for both sides. A++ product!!! 115136

No drill, yes. Easy to install, no. Let me qualify that.
Everything about this installation is pretty straight forward except for the part about the short bolt that you have to install inside of the frame. The instructions say to hold the top of the bolt with a wrench and tighten the nut from below. The problem is that you have to do this while holding the top bracket in place and that the wrench meets the bolt head at about a forty five degree angle. This is difficult at best even if you find a way to tie up the top bracket so that you don't have to hold it. I was able to find an old 9/16" wrench that was shorter than my craftsman and was able to get that to work. If the wrench is too long it runs into adjacent structure outside of the frame when you have to feed it through the frame slot and hold it at an angle. I managed to get it done on both sides but laying on your back under the truck to do it isn't easy. After that, no problem. Just be sure to cut your tubing straight without crimping it and clean it off with some rubbing alcohol to get off all the dirt it picks up when feeding it around the frame.
As for how it works, I don't know yet. Just installed it yesterday and won't really need to use it for a couple months until I pull my trailer out of winter storage. 65705

Excellent product, couldn’t be happier after having it installed for a year now. Mileage varies on the level of installation difficulty. Some reviewers find it straight forward but I personally found that connecting the bolts inside the frame to be an exercise in frustration. Eventually got it done and have been very happy with the product since. 937904

Product showed up in a timely manner but the box was completely beat up and looked like it had been tossed around and re-taped multiple times. Manual inside was a bit chewed up but everything else inside looks ok. Will be installing in a 2017 GMC Denali 1500 later this week. 851922

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. 3617608

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. 3311959

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. 3427274
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?

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. 3423649
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. 3340126
For great air springs for your 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country to help with tongue weight, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88211 (for 8-foot beds only) or # AL88204 (for all other bed sizes).

Hello Don,
