Heavy loads can make the back of your vehicle sag, throwing off the steering, braking, and headlight aim. The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear add up to 1,000 lbs of load-leveling support inside your existing rear coil spring suspension. With the right amount of air pressure—from 5 psi to 50 psi—you can keep your vehicle level and stable whether you’re hauling gear or towing.
Every trip is different, and these molded polyurethane air springs let you dial in just the right amount of support. Inflate each spring independently using dual air lines to balance off-center loads, or set them evenly for front-to-back leveling. The included Schrader valves make it simple to adjust with a standard air source, and you can add an optional compressor system later for on-demand pressure control from the cab or outside.
When weight pushes down on the rear suspension, handling can feel loose and uneven. These helper springs absorb road shock and diminish sway so your ride feels planted and predictable even on rough pavement or winding roads. They also reduce strain on your factory suspension and help prevent uneven tire wear by keeping your ride height steady under load.
The Air Lift 1000 system uses durable molded polyurethane air springs that fit neatly inside your rear coil springs without replacing any factory parts. Each kit includes two air springs, heat shields, tubing, Schrader valves, and mounting hardware for a straightforward installation using common tools. A lifetime warranty and 60-day satisfaction guarantee back it up for long-term confidence on every haul.

Fit my 2019 Toyota Senna AWD perfectly. Easy to install. didn't even have to disconnect exhaust hanger as instructed. instead i used a 1/2 drive universal joint with sockets to access bolt holes on passenger side. I pull a 2500lb boat or a 2000lb trailer with no problems. I use 15 to 30 lbs air pressure to keep level. i used two valves and separate air for each bag. I didn't want it shifting in long turns. I highly recommend and would buy again....
Overall, a surprisingly great benefit for very little cost and a little effort. Took some time to install (no harder than anticipated), the videos were very helpful. I struggled to get the connections all airtight, always had a slight leak. However, still saw a benefit to my suspension and ride, even when not towing. For our 2019 Pathfinder, where the "tow weight" is definitely a little fudged, these where a big help.
I put the Airlift 1,000 kit on our Suburban LT 1500 which has a towing package on it to enhance the vehicles ability to lessen frost heaves on our Alaskan highways while towing our travel trailer. The air shocks of the towing package although heavy duty were stressed out on trips down the Alcan. The new airbags are working just fine and were easy to install. After ordering the kit, it arrived within the week. The instructions were easy to follow.
I knew going into this, this was going to be a pain to install. After 5 hours, I had to call a friend who was a mechanic to come over and help get the bags into the springs. We finally read enough reviews where people said to heat up the bags a little, fold them and zip tie them. This worked! But.....Here we are, they've been installed, traveled over 2000 miles with them in and let me tell you, the noise! OMG THE NOISE! Every bump, dip, hell - I think just for the fun of it - my car squeaks like a 1970's Cadi! I've used multiple Teflon lubricants, Bearings Grease and other various lubricants. NO, I didn't use WD40. You can hear me coming down the road the noise is that loud. I called Airlift as instructed and they advised me that they're not even showing that these are a match for my car although Etrailer does. The tech that I spoke to told me that if I've driven that much, with and without loads, adjusted the PSI (which I have. I've gone from 5-35psi as instructed. No matter where I am sitting, it is loud! For someone who is tone sensitive with high PTSD and ADHD/OCD - this is not working. Airlift said that there's a 60 day ride approval. I don't approve as I've gotten to the point that I don't even want to drive my 2025 car! Instead, I've been driving a 2005 van if I need to go to the store or anything. I've truly tried to let these be the savior of my needs, but I think I'm going to just bite the bullet and get a Gladiator or Ram.
Works great on my 2000 Lexus LX470. I installed these to supplement my AHC deleted suspension. These were installed with Land Cruiser rear springs. Instructions were easy to follow. Routed separate air lines (did not use the y connector) above the frame and fitted the valves into existing holes on the bumper. Run them at 8-10 psi when I have gear in cargo area. Holds air perfectly.
These air springs are one of the best investments you can make if you have a 4XE Wrangler. The battery pack is so heavy, I am finding after a couple of years the factory springs are getting too spongy and the body lean is more noticeable on the road especially cornering. Plus when you go over larger bumps the body sway is much more noticeable. I looked into an air spring set up but did not really want to spend several thousand dollars and I was surprised when I came across this set for under $[XX]. I was sceptical but thought, why not. They arrived in a small box and I was even more doubtful but when I opened it and took out the kit, I was impressed with the quality of the materials. I followed the instructions (with a few exceptions) and found them to be very easy to install. If you take your time with routing the air lines over the factory heat shields and carefully bring them to the rear drivers side, you can install them using the t connector. You can drill a hole through the thin part of the bumper right beside the license plate. There is just enough air line included to do this. The Schrader valve seats perfectly and makes it very convenient to add or bleed air from the system with only one adjustment. I set the springs at 12 psi and coupled with my after market adjustable shocks, I can make my Wrangler so smooth it feels more like a European SUV than a Jeep. Excellent product.
Put these on my 2020 Equinox, it has a tow package and pulls my little Wildwood trailer just fine but with this airliift system it feels SOOOO much more stable!! It drives much less ‘mushy’ and handling is a dream. These are simple to install, perfect product for pulling with a light duty SUV, I am extremely impressed.
I purchased this product for some additional support for our Hummer H2 when we are towing our travel trailer. I removed the springs for easier installation of each bag.
I am 66 years old and total time from start to completion was 3 1/2 hours from set up to clean up !
Now I can load my handicap buggy on the back of my car ramp without it being to heavy for my car. It really made the difference.the directions were easy to follow, and the whole job went pretty good. Thank you for your service.
These things are great, our 2017 CR-V would sag in the back any time we were hauling a trailer, or even when we had a full car, now I can just throw a little air in the helper "springs" and it levels right back out, and I don't need to worry about bottoming the hitch out. I have hauled motorcycles on my motorcycle rack on the rear, as well as running a hitch carrier with no issues at all, nothing drags, the car drives normally still. Excellent add on for the CR-V.
The lines that came with the air lift system were not sufficient to hold pressure. They kept breaking, and not just breaking, but having embolisms…. The only way I was able to get them to finally work, was to get some fuel lines and some fuel line clamps. I have a 2017 CRV and I needed something to help lift the rear end because I was using it for car camping but without the fuel line, they would not have worked.
Putting the bags in the Springs was a little bit of a pain in the butt However the results were amazing.
I really like how the manual was very specific to my vehicle and exactly how to install this stuff.
With this kit and only 30PSI I was able to carry almost 400 pounds of cargo and maintain normal ride height.
My trailer hitch has a 7 pin connector and I used the 2 bottom mounting screw holes for the shrader valves.

Its ok but there could be improvements. The airbags are not tall enough. With them Installed and a trailer on I am still left with too low of a ride height and too stiff of a ride from having to max out the air pressure. I have had to install 2 inch spacers above the bags and reduce the pressure to keep a normal ride height and not have to inflate the bags to much.
I have two sets of these installed on each of my vehicles. I regularly overload the vehicles on vacation with kayaks, camping gear, family and the big ol dog. These are great at keeping a heavy vehicle stable and can be run low for daily driving.
It would’ve been nice if it came with a tea that we could tie the two lines together with only one valve
Kit was pretty easy to install, only downfall was the spring ring clamps are weak.
Fits great and handles way better specially on the freeway at high speed, it works amazing.
Bags came quick and easy to install . I did find that if you remove three bolts, sway bar link , lower control arm and shock and remove the spring it’s a lot easier to put the bag in . So far they are working great !

Typically this is caused by the air lines not being cut squarely which allows them to leak where they attach to the air bags. To make cutting the air lines easy we have the hose cutter part # AL10530.
