Features to know about

Stay Level When the Load Gets Heavy: Up to 2,000 lbs of Rear Suspension Support

When you’re hauling a heavy load that makes the rear end sag, these Ride Control air springs step in with up to 2,000 lbs of load-leveling support. They keep your vehicle level front to rear so your steering and braking stay predictable and your headlights stay aimed where they should. By taking strain off your factory suspension, you also help your tires wear evenly and avoid bottoming out when the load gets serious.

Tune Your Ride for Every Trip: Adjustable from 5 psi to 100 psi

Every haul is different, and that’s where the adjustable pressure range comes in. You can fine-tune each spring anywhere between 5 psi and 100 psi, depending on what you’re carrying. Inflate both evenly to level a full load or adjust side to side to balance off-center cargo. Manual Schrader valves mount conveniently on the bumper, so adding or releasing air is quick before hitting the road or after unloading.

Smooth Out Rough Roads: Air Springs That Absorb Shock and Sway

Uneven pavement or trailer bounce doesn’t have to make every trip a white-knuckle ride. These air springs help absorb road shock and cut down on sway so your ride feels more stable and controlled. By reducing body movement, you get smoother handling through curves and less bounce when towing or hauling heavy gear.

Simple, Reliable Setup: Components Designed to Work Together

Everything you need for installation comes in the box—two air springs, mounting brackets, hardware, tubing, alignment tool, and Schrader valves for manual inflation. The alignment tool centers each air spring between the frame and leaf spring to prevent rubbing or wear, helping ensure lasting performance. If you want even more convenience later on, you can add a compressor system with in-cab gauges (sold separately) for automatic inflation control.

Built for Real-World Use: Backed by a Lifetime Warranty

Once installed, these Ride Control springs are made to deliver support mile after mile with no mileage limit on their lifetime warranty. They’re built for light-to-medium duty trucks, vans, and SUVs with leaf springs, giving dependable suspension enhancement that lasts through years of hauling and towing demands.

Wonderful addition to the truck --
Has made towing an 8,000 TT much easier on the ride comfort. Truck still had about 2 inches of squat, after the weight distribution hitch was attached. These bags eliminated that problem entirely.

You will never "forget" the camper is there, but the overall ride is DRASTICALLY different with the air bags. If you tow a heavy load, with any consistency, I highly recommend.

I purchased this primarily for trailer a 24' enclosed trailer but even with just 4-6 pounds of air with no trailer attached I can feel my truck doesn't roll when cornering.
Installation was simple. Took me more than two hours though. My truck is an '05 and one of the bolts I had to remove was a bit stubborn.

I watched etrailer's youtube video a few times along with the written directions and the instal was straight forward. I ran my lines back to the trailer hitch. I made a small bracket and welded to a cross-member on my hitch. Looks factory and made for a solid base for the lines. Overall great product and fast shipping.

Towed a new trailer on March 14th that had 600# tongue that caused the truck back end to sag. Reviewed air verses non air suspension options, order the Air Lift 59544 Friday night, it was delivered the following Wednesday, installed Thursday, and towed the trailer Friday. All the bad driving issues were addressed, trailer tows great now. This was a fast and cost effective solution.

2008 Ford F-150
Fast shipping, everything fit perfectly and as advertised and installed completely in under two hours.

This is easily a must project for anyone hauling a trailer with a F150, with 60 ponds of air my truck has zero sag hauling my 4000# boat and trailer.

These air springs were very easy to install. I did it by myself and it only took about 2 hours. I would recommend these springs to anyone who needs to pull a travel trailer. They worked great!

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

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?

@Stacey I wish I could say the same lol. Props to you!

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”

5 stars! My truck not only hauls trailers better but also drives smoother. The bags have held up very well and are surprisingly durable I’m hard on my truck.

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.

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.

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

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.
