Features to know about

Stay Level When the Load Gets Heavy: Up to 1,000 lbs of Rear Support

Big loads can make the back of your vehicle squat, throw off your steering, and mess with your headlight aim. This Air Lift 1000 Universal Air Spring Kit adds up to 1,000 lbs of load-leveling support inside your rear coil springs. It keeps your ride level when you’re hauling or towing so handling, braking, and tire wear all stay consistent.

Fine-Tune Your Ride: Adjustable Air Pressure from 5 psi to 35/50 psi

Every load is different, and this setup lets you dial in the support you need. Each polyurethane air spring can be inflated manually between 5 psi and 35 psi (or up to 50 psi if your spring pitch is less than 1"). You can even inflate each side independently to balance uneven loads. Add an optional compressor system later if you want quick pressure adjustments on the go.

Smooth Out the Bounce: Polyurethane Springs That Absorb Road Shock

Uneven roads and heavy trailers can cause sway and bounce that wear you out on long drives. These tough polyurethane air springs sit inside your coil springs to absorb road shock and reduce sway. The result is steadier steering and a more planted feel when towing or carrying weight in back.

Built for Simple DIY Installation: Fits Inside Rear Coil Springs

Installing this system doesn’t require major suspension work. Each kit comes with two air springs, two heat shields, tubing, Schrader valves, and mounting hardware. The bags fit inside your existing coil springs, and the inflation valves can be mounted on the bumper or any easy-to-reach spot. Once installed, you’ll have an adjustable rear suspension that’s ready to handle the next haul or trip.

Diagram showing how to measure coil spring height and inner diameter for selecting an Air Lift 1000 universal air spring kit.

  • First, unload your vehicle to make sure it's at normal ride height. Then, measure the inside height of your coil spring, which will be from the upper spring seat to the lower spring seat. Lastly, measure the inside diameter of the spring at its widest point.

I want to thank you very much for the help on fitting the correct air lift bag for my mopar lifted wrangler. I spent countless hours searching the web unsuccessfully for the information you provided. The new listing you added on your site for fitment of these air bags will undoubtedly help many customers the same as it helped me. etrailer has been my go to site for many of the items needed for an offroad teardrop camper build I'm working on that is towed by the wrangler, and again you guys came through for me. There aren't many suppliers on the web that offer the assistance you have. I will continue to recommend etrailer to people I know and meet that want a supplier with excellent service to the customer.
Thanks again!

This product did everything I hoped it would, no more bounce and sway while towing. I would recommend these air bags to anyone towing a trailer.

by:
its been a year of using the lift kit on the Jeep Wrangler Rubi (4door). no issues. did replace the clips with tighter fitting clips.

not much else to say. works as advertised.

Another year and the bags are still working great. They are used every time we do a trip with our camper. No issues note: you will experience minor pressure decrease over time but nothing major.

by:
This air spring kit leveled our RAV4 just the right amount. We towed a LivinLite 8.1 all over the western US with no issues. The install takes a bit of effort (and do be sure to measure carefully if using a universal fit), but once in it was easy to set the pressure and I had no troubles with leaking. I ran the air valve to the side of the hitch to keep it out of the way.

Used this along with a controller kit to add helper bags to my 2014 Q5 TDI. A year later and it is working perfectly. Helps with the teeter tottering and stability when towing close to the maximum capacity.

Thank you for the update! It's good to hear that your helper bags are still performing well for you. Thank you for sharing your experience and happy towing! :)

I haven’t installed yet, however Kevin took care of me when I ordered the wrong kit. He immediately sent out the correct kit and I received it in time for our trip. I will be installing this today and I know this is going to be an excellent product.

This is the second time I have ordered different items from etrailer and each time people that helped me have been extraordinary. I wish I saved their names to thank them personally. I waited to write this review because I had to wait to have my Air Lift 1000 kit installed. I am as satisfied with the results as I am with your employees. I will definitely order from etrailer again and will highly recommend you to everyone I know.
by:
What a great product, I use one of these kits,I don’t know 10 years ago and thought I would come back to the company because they provided such a good quality 10 years ago and again it never fails. Put them in my grand Cherokee yesterday. And they are working perfectly today. Great product perfect. They sent extra stuff with it that I didn’t even need which is always a nice touch. Thanks for making such a wonderful product.

Holy cow, so it’s been over a year, I have had no problems at all matter fact, I forgot the airbags were even on there, they’ve held air once I got them where I want them. I have not even touch them they work fantastic, like I said 10 years ago I used them on the wife’s car and I came back because it’s such a great product, kudos to airlift.

@Russell that is the kind of thing we like to hear! Glad they're working well for you.

The ride has changed so much! I love it.

They work great they stopped the SAG

They installed, they work & the customer service was good.

The airlift system works very well. I installed a leveling kit on my truck. Even with a small load in the bed of my truck, the truck showed sag. With the airbags, I can inflate to the desired height before I load the bed and it doesn't appear to squat!

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2022 Ford Maverick FWD
    Hello Joshua; since you have the FWD model there are no options for custom fit suspension enhancement. You may, however, be able to use a universal kit like the # AL60917 you were looking at. To find the right fit you're going to need to measure. First, unload your vehicle to make sure it's at normal ride height.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver With Best Ground Clearance For Towing With 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime
    That is correct, the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH97FR has the most ground clearance when compared to other Class III hitches for your 2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime. For rust protection I recommend inspecting the hitch periodically and use rust-inhibiting spray paint from your local hardware store to touch up any scratches in the finish. Unfortunately, none of the hitches for your vehicle can be used with weight distribution. For 7-way wiring you will need to start by adding a...

  • Will The 2020 Volvo XC90 Allow For a Weight Distribution Hitch When Trailer Towing?
    It would appear the factory receiver or any of the aftermarket receivers available for your 2020 Volvo XC90 are not rated for use with a weight distribution hitch. This is likely due to the construction of the frame and it components on your Volvo. By using a weight distribution on this vehicle you will risk damage to the frame and components of the receiver. We do offer the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 which will control any trailer sway with the electric trailer brakes....

  • How to Prevent Porpoising in Honda Ridgeline Towing Camper
    If by porpoising you mean you have front to rear bounce in your vehicle there are a couple things you can try. The first is making sure your trailer is loaded correctly. You want the weight to be properly distributed, with 10-15% of the loaded weight as the tongue weight. If you don't have enough tongue weight it can lead to this issue. Another solution that can help is suspension enhancement. There aren't many options for the Honda Ridgeline and it varies based on the year. If you let...
