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 AirLift 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. AirLift 1000 is a breeze to install with standard tools and comes with an easy-to-follow instruction manual.
AirLift 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 AirLift 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.

1,000-lb Capacity. Upgrade your vehicle's rear coil spring suspension with this kit. Molded polyurethane air springs fit inside your existing coil springs for added support when hauling heavy loads. Improves handling, braking, and overall ride.by: 05/02/2023
The installation instructions was very easy to follow. It only took 2 hours from start to finish. As a DIYer just be cautious when lowering the the jack or raising the springs into position. You must ensure the air line is moving thru the rubber washer and not getting pinched.

I have not used the product yet.Instructions are very good, but air bags very difficult to get in the springs. Install time was about 2 hours.

Everything arrived in a timely manner. I installed the product using the video. Installation was relatively easy. We'll see how the air lift system works over time, for now all seems well.

Works well
by: Robert S11/21/2019
The air lifts work great. They leveled my van as advertised. I would rate them a five if they would hold the air pressure. I have tried everything to stop them from leaking down but it seems it is an impossible task. I would not recommend them for towing long distances.

Really good product ! Works great !

Dodge Grand Caravan
Good product. Clear instructions and the video on e-trailer really makes the installation easy to understand. On my '08 Grand Caravan my shock absorber bolts were rusted in place and could not be removed. I worked around this by unbolting the top shock brackets from the body. Other than that the installation was fairly easy and just like the video shows.

2008 Chrysler Town and Country
Very satisfied!! I have an 08 town and country. I haul 7 adults 200 miles daily. Rear bumper was almost touching the ground until I installed these bad boys. Was very easy to install. I recommend using some glue at all the fittings of the air lines. I used a spry adhesive. Had the air bags in use for about a month now. No leaks and handles great.

1 year later, this setup continues to work well on our 2015 Ram CV Tradesman minivan. We regularly tow a 3700 lb trailer with it, and the rear suspension does not sag at all with the air bags set to 25psi.

2013 Chrysler Town and Country
Great product. Just what I needed for my Chrysler Town&Country. I tow a small popup camper and these fit the bill. Installation was quite easy. The air hose cutter I purchased was a great asset to the installation. Have had them on for about a year now and no problems.
by: Mark 07/19/2021
shipment was very prompt. air bags installation went well. Helped my camper swaying problem. does not sway anymore. Tried swayback but camper still swayed over 60 miles a hour. Now can go 70 with no problem with the camper swaying.

New air bags came quickly by courier and look great. Will be installing this week. Thanks Etrailer.

The air bags are working great. What a difference when we hook up our vintage travel trailer,put a couple of more pounds in the bags and up goes the rear of our tow vechicle. Thanks etrailer, Love them. Five on five.

2015 Dodge Grand Caravan
Customer Service, great! I called 4:45 PM and needed the airbags the next day. I paid for overnight shipping and had them by 2:00 PM the next day.
Product, great! I can't comment on installation because I had mechanic install. But two days later, I drove 2,000 miles with six adults and the 2010 Grand Caravan drove better than brand new. I recommend 30 PSI for a full load, 15 for empty van.
by: Steve K09/23/2016
2015 Chrysler Town and Country
It was as advertised. I particularly like the detailed instructions that clearly covered the installation. Pictures in the diagrams were clear and appropriate. The product is to be used to maintain a level ride without rear end sagging of my van. This will eliminate headlight misalighnment from luggage during family trips.

- Recommended Suspension Enhancement For 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan Towing Boat TrailerWith your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan, you have a towing capacity of 3600 lbs according to the manufacturer, so you won't have any issue with the boat weight and motor you mentioned. I recommend using the Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear # AL60814. This will allow you to manually add air to your springs to help your existing coil springs support the additional weight. This will allow you to tow level and that is very important for traction, headlight viewing...
view full answer... - Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2015 Dodge Grand CaravanFor that much weight from passengers and the tongue weight of your trailer suspension enhancement like the AirLift kit part # AL60814 would be a great option. This will give you the ability to add rear support as needed with the air bags. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Rear Coil Air Helper Springs for Towing Pop-Up Camper With 2016 Town & CountryUsing an air helper spring like the # AL60814 would certainly help with sag, as you'll be able to adjust the air pressure in the springs to add more support. When it comes to ride quality when not towing, you won't notice much difference once the springs are aired down and if they're left aired up as you'd have them while towing, your ride will be a bit more rough. On the plus side, the springs will help reduce body roll experienced in turns which can be important for a taller vehicle...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan for Sagging While Towing For as much load leveling as it sounds like you need I would recommend the Air Lift kit part # AL60814 for your 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan as it will allow you to fine tune the amount of suspension support you need. Be sure not to exceed the towing capacity of your vehicle though and you should note that these kits do not allow you any more towing capacity than what the vehicle is rated for.
view full answer... - Should Air Lift 1000 Helper Springs Create a Lift When Not Inflated on 2012 Chrysler Town & CountryChances are you were sagging a little below stock before you installed the AirLift # AL60814. I reached out to my contact at Air Lift and they agreed that you have nothing to worry about.

- Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan We offer suspension enhancement kits that are a confirmed fit for your 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan like the Air Lift part # AL60814 which will give you more support when towing/carrying heavy cargo which would lift the suspension if it was sagging. But these kits are not lift kits designed to raise your stock ride height. I attached an install video for this kit in a 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan like yours for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - AirLift Air Helper Springs Recommendation For 2014 Dodge Grand CaravanI did some online research and found that the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs, part # AL60814, are a fit for your 2014 Dodge Caravan. The air pressure is adjustable from 5 psi to 35 psi. The manual inflation valves are typically mounted on the bumper for easy access. I have attached an installation video for these air helper springs. If you want to make sure your air helper springs stay inflated at the correct level, I recommend the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System, part #...
view full answer... - Exhaust Mounting Hardware for Curt Trailer Hitch # 13364I reached out to my contact at Curt to determine why that bolt is not included in the # 13364. He took a look at that specific video with me and we were able to determine that there was a change in the hitch design. In the 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan video which I've attached, there were 3 holes and a notch on the passenger side where the AC lines ran. They changed the hitch to only have the 2 bolt holes on that passenger side so there was no need to include that exhaust hanger hardware...
view full answer... - 2012 Dodge Caravan With Failed Airbags TroubleshootingPer Air Lift the leading cause of air bag failure is tearing or punctures from flying debris or interference with other parts underneath the vehicle. It may be worth taking a look at your existing system and inspect for adequate clearance under the vehicle to try to prevent future failures. A couple of measurements from the instructions on the Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60814 include checking the tail pipe clearance to ensure that it is at least 2-3...
view full answer... - Hitch and Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2014 Dodge Grand CaravanFirst let's start with a hitch, for that you would want the Curt Hitch part # 13364 that you referenced for your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening that would work well for you. For suspension enhancement for the rear of your vehicle to help with the sag I would recommend the Air Lift Suspension Enhancement part # AL60814. This will allow you to use air pressure to provide support for the rear of your vehicle and help with the sag. I attached an install...
view full answer... - Do Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs Add Lift to 2016 Chrysler Town and CountryYou won't get any lift on your 2016 Chrysler Town and Country when using the Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60814. The springs are designed to level out and support the rear suspension of your vehicle when it is sagging, but won't otherwise gain any additional lift. In addition to the helper springs, I do recommend adding a compressor to make it much easier to maintain their pressure, the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System # AL25592. I have added...
view full answer... - Remove Jounce Bumpers to Install Air Helper Springs on 2014 Dodge Grand CaravanThe yellow rubber inside the coil spring on your 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan is a jounce bumper. The jounce bumper is removed to install both the Air Lift # AL60814 and the Firestone # F4169 air helper springs. To remove the jounce bumper, you will pull the bumper out at an angle. You can remove the jounce bumper before or after you drill the grommet for your air line. I have attached the installation video of Air Lift Vehicle Suspension # AL60814 on a 2010 Grand Caravan for you.
view full answer... - Air Lift Air Helper Springs Or Firestone Coil-Rite For a 2012 Chrysler Town and CountryThe Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60814 will not require the upper supports like the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4169 on your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country. You do not have to worry about the bags being cut on either kit. The bags are designed to flex and will not cut inside the springs from normal use. Both kits also feature a lifetime warranty on the bags incase there is a issue with them for you later down the road. I do prefer the Air Lift air line being ran...
view full answer... - Air Lift Suspension Recommendation For 2008 Dodge Grand CaravanThe Air Lift Vehicle Suspension, part # AL60814, is designed to fit your 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan. These air springs fit inside the coil springs of your Grand caravan and will help load-leveling support up to 1,000 lbs. This system will not increase the vehicle load-carrying capacity. To make sure the air lines are cut perfectly when installing, I recommend the Air Lift Air Hose Cutter, part # AL10530. To avoid the hassle of manually adjusting the air pressure in the air springs, you...
view full answer... - Recommended AirLift Air Bags for a 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan Driven in a Cold ClimateIf you are experiencing sag while under heavy loads, # AL60814 AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Rear Coil Springs are a great choice for your 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan. The manufacturer recommends maintaining a minimum of 5 psi in your air bags while your vehicle is unloaded(maximum psi is 35). You will certainly want to keep an eye on the air pressure as well. You can expect a minor decrease in air pressure when the temperature cools. I recommend maintaining a minimum of 8-10 psi while...
view full answer... - How To Install the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs on a 2008 Chrysler Town and CountryThe Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs part # AL60814 is the same kit that is used on a 2008, 2009, and 2010 Chrysler Town and Country. Therefore, the installation process between vehicles will be nearly identical. In regards to the installation of this kit on your 2008 Chrysler Town and Country, the upper spring seat hole will need to be enlarged to a 1/2" diameter in order for the airline to reach the cylinder. To install the springs on your Town and Country, you will need a 1/2"...
view full answer... - Best Way to Provide Power to Electric Trailer Tongue JackIn a typical RV-style 7-way the 12V charge circuit is carried on the pin at the 1-o-clock position as you look at the socket from the rear of the vehicle. Please refer to the linked photo. The 12V feed from a vehicle 7-way can deliver just enough trickle-charge current to maintain a strong battery while you're on the road, but it is not the best way to power a trailer jack. The best way to power a trailer-mounted 12V tongue jack, like the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR, is to install a dedicated...

- Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2008 Chrysler Town and Country Carrying Wheelchair CarrierThe best hitch for your 2008 Chrysler Town and Country for carrying a wheelchair carrier like you mentioned would be the etrailer # e98854 which has the best tongue weight capacity and has a mostly hidden appearance which looks the best and also helps with ground clearance. In the description it says max GTW with weight distribution is 5,000 lbs which is a system that distributes some tongue weight up to the front axle which increases the weight capacity. For a custom trailer wiring harness...
view full answer... - Firestone and Air Lift Coil Spring Air Bag Comparison for a 2010 Chrysler Town and CountryThe Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs, # AL60814, and the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, # F4169, are very similar systems. The main difference between these two systems is that the Firestone system includes upper supports that are placed between the air bags and the jounce bumper bracket. Both systems will install the same way on your 2010 Chrysler Town and Country with the exception of the upper supports for the Firestone kit. I have attached the installation instructions of...
view full answer... - Pressure-Fit Air Lines on Firestone Air Helper Springs, Part # F4169, Used on 2008 Town and CountryFirestone Coil-Rite Rear Axle Air Helper Springs, part # F4169, do use pressure-fit air hose connections as you noted. I spoke to a technician at Firestone about the concern of the air lines staying place. He confirmed that the fittings used are barbed and that with the moderate maximum pressure of this system, 35 psi, that it is very unlikely for an air hose to come loose from the bag or the inflation fitting. The other part you reviewed, Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs, part...
view full answer... - Best Way to Reduce Sag When Towing With a 2011 Dodge Grand CaravanThe Air Lift Helper Rear Coil Springs # AL60814 is the better choice for reducing the strain on your 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan's suspension while maintaining a slightly smoother ride for your passengers when you're not towing. I typically recommend the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TDVRRT for trucks that tow/carry heavy loads on a regular basis. An even better option would be a weight distribution system which is chosen based on your total tongue weight which includes the loaded...
view full answer... - Weight Distribution and Rear Suspension Helper Spring Use in 2008 Chrysler Town and CountryIn general, a properly selected and installed weight distribution system like the Reese Strait-Line # RP66082 will do more to improve the overall towing quality of a trailer than a set of rear air bags in the tow vehicle. The WD system actually shifts trailer weight to the vehicle's front axle to restore traction (for better steering and braking) while an air bag kit will essentially just prevent rear-end sag by stiffening the suspension. The results of these two different strategies, a...

Yes, I did the air lines over sealing each joint and I have not had air deflation since. I am now very satisfied with this product. I have towed over 20,000 miles and have had no problem.
