Specs:
Heavy loads can cause the back of your vehicle to sag and add unnecessary stress to your suspension. This stress not only affects your brakes in a bad way, but your tires, headlight aim and handling suffer as well. To improve your vehicle's ability to endure heavy loads, you need to add support to your existing coil springs.
Air Lift's 1000 adjustable air springs have 1,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity and are made specifically to fit inside your rear coil spring suspension for additional load assistance. You can inflate and deflate these tough, molded polyurethane helper springs as needed, ensuring the perfect amount of support for every load, every time. Easily level your vehicle front to rear, and if you run dual air lines to the air springs at installation, then you can inflate the springs independently of one another for side-to-side leveling. Air Lift 1000 is a breeze to install with standard tools and comes with an easy-to-follow instruction manual.
Air Lift 1000 comes with manual inflation valves that are typically mounted on the bumper but can be installed anywhere on your vehicle for easy access. For even more convenience and control, you can add a compressor and gauge system (sold separately), which will let you monitor and automatically inflate your air springs.
Air Lift kits are designed to keep your vehicle at normal ride height. You can find the normal ride height of your vehicle by unloading it and measuring the distance between the bottom edge of your wheel well and the center of the hub. After you find and record this distance, you can regulate the amount of air that you put into your air springs to maintain normal ride height - even when you are hauling a heavy load. You will need to adjust the air pressure in your air bags according to the size of your load.
Air Lift is positive that you will benefit from their air spring suspension system - so much so that they offer a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Install and use Air Lift 1000 springs for 60 days, and if you are not satisfied at the end of this time, you can remove them from your vehicle and return them for a full product refund.

Hey everybody. I'm Hellen here at etrailer.com and we're taking a quick look at the Air Lift Loadlifter 1000 air helper Springs. These are designed to fit in between your coil on the rear of your vehicle. And this is a custom fit for the 2006 through 2018 Toyota RAV4. So if you're maybe putting some extra weight into your vehicle and you want to be able to make sure that your vehicle can support it effectively this is going to be a great way to do that. Now I will say it's not going to increase the overall payload or the amount that your vehicle is rated to carry but it's going to help to get you up to the max more safely without really kind of having any adverse effects to the driving or handling of your RAV4.
So, normally whenever you put stuff into your trunk or maybe you're doing a little towing on a back of your hitch, it'll cause some squat in the back of your vehicle, and it could affect how that your RAV4 handles your braking power, steering all that kind of stuff. So by having some kind of extra support for those quail Springs it's going to mitigate that problem. It also helps to sort of cushion the ride and make your OEM suspension lasts a bit longer since you now have another component to take the brunt of that force. But again, it doesn't allow you to increase the weight that you can carry. Just helps you to get up to that Max more effectively, kind of like a weight belt will help you get to your max safely rather than actually letting you lift more.
So this is what you're going to get in the kit. It's pretty simple. Overall, there's really no cutting or drilling required. It does have the quarter inch line that you need to go from the bags to the back of your vehicle. So you'll have the Schrader valves and all the hardware for that.
A T to connect the bags. If you want to have them just matched up together. Some folks like to keep them independent side besides you can make adjustments. If you're going to have an offset load it probably won't be such a big deal for the RAV4. You can T them together and then one valve will be able to fill both, but it's kind of up to you as far as how you want to do that.
I've seen people put those Schrader valves and all kinds of different spots. You can actually use these to sort of replace the hardware for your license plate so you can hide it on your license plate. You can put this behind the door to your gas tank. Put it at your bumper really anywhere. That's handy that you can get access to it to fill up the bags. Now you can also get a compressor to go with this to make sure that you always have air in your bags and you don't have to find a place to actually get them filled up. But, I would think that since this is rated for kind of light duty towing you probably won't really need to have a compressor or any answer unless you're going to be using these all the time. It's pretty expensive to get one. And I just would say that you probably aren't going to need it since this is just going to be there for support. One little trick that whenever you're getting these installed you want to keep the little caps that it comes with these little black guys that goes over the top of that barb fitting because it's going to really help whenever you're trying to get these in between the coils. Basically you'll just want to squeeze the bags down. Maybe even roll them up a little bit but get them as flat as you can. And then put that cap over the top. So it doesn't take any, any more air in and that'll make it a lot easier to fit that in between the coils. As far as the load leveling capacity this does help up to a thousand pounds, but again it doesn't increase your overall weight carrying capacity. They have an adjustable air pressure between five pounds per square inch and 35. So between five PSI and 35 PSI, this is covered by a limited lifetime warranty and a satisfaction guarantee from airlift and they are made in the USA. That's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the airlift 1000 air helper Springs. I hope this video has been helpful in the setting of this is the right kit for you.
