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: Brian 04/11/2024
2007 Chevrolet Tahoe
Put these on 07 tahoe. I pull a camper and put 400lbs of tools in back of tahoe. With just the tools I noticed it help put more weight on front wheels. I have not pulled camper yet but with just the minimum 5lbs of pressure it helped with the tools.
It took me about 4 hrs to install by myself on the ground. The hardest part was getting it pushed into the coil springs. I ended up using a ratchet strap to help push it in. It was fun trying to get the hose connected afterward, could not see, had to feel and take a picture to make sure it was fully seated.

My vehicle is a 2002 Chevy Tahoe. Installation of the Air Helper Springs was fairly simple. Getting them inside the factory springs is a bit of a bitch, but doable. The ride while pulling my travel trailer was bouncy at 15psi. Not what I was going for. Unloaded, I kept 5psi in the helper springs and it was fine.
I developed a clunking in the rear end about 8 months after installation. I discovered that the lower bolts on my shocks were loose. I'm assuming that the decreased load on the shocks allowed play in the frame mount and therefore allowed the bolt to loosen. Easy fix, but something to be aware of. Overall, the air helpers work, but next purchase I'll be going for a system with its own air compressor.

Don't know why I waited this long. When the vehicle is overloaded for vacation and we are towing a boat, this makes everything right!

They are great for assisting the load on my suburban, but need to be inflated before doing so, especially with a heavy load. I plan on going with airbags mounted on the axle when these wear out.

2004 Chevrolet Suburban
Very pleased with this product! Install took longer than one hour but I go slow and steady anyway, I just watched the retailer install video and it was easy! My 2004 Suburban sagged badly with our travel trailer and this fixed the sag. The rear well sat at 36.5" with no air and sagged down to 34.5" with the trailer attached. The rear well sat at 37.75" with air bags filled and sagged only to 36.5" with trailer attached. I haven't got a chance to road test but I have confidence in the product from my measurement test!
by: Ja07/11/2021
The Air Lift 1000 was easier than I thought it would be to install . My H2 Hummer sits even now with my 20' in-closed car hauler in tow. I only had to add 15 lbs of air . When not hauling I lower the air to 5 lbs. Love this system .
by: Scott 02/04/2024
Great product, installed yesterday and what a difference these make both daily driving and towing. Love them. Thank you very much!
by: Kyle07/13/2023
These work great for hauling that extra weight and still being able to air them back down for a soft ride.

2008 Chevrolet Tahoe
The air lift bags I purchase from etrailer have been great for towing my camper with my 2008 Tahoe made a big difference in handling and the ride height for towing my travel trailer
by: Dan05/15/2022
First about etrailer: Great retailer and product educator. Everyone there is a pro and top notch! Joshua really came through for me! Now the product: Let me say that you would be wise to "Measure the coil spring first". My 2007 Burb had the coil springs replaced and I am fairly sure they are more narrow than the factory versions. The air bag did not expand as well in the confines of this coil as it seems to in other customer pictures, yet it seems to work. I only need this for one trip, therefore it is acceptable. Second suggestion, have a helping hand around. Thirdly, my father always said "right tool for the right job". A shop with a lift, impact wrenches, and a working knowledge of springs installation would be worth the $100 install cost. In closing, solid product sold by a great company. End user was the main issue.

GMC Yukon
For a guys who never really works on cars I found installing the air lift system rather simple.
We have a GMC Yukon that we use to pull a 7000lb boat. The car is rated for 8500 so we are close to capacity. Adding the airlift has absolutely stabilized the vehicle. Great addition to help with towing stability.
by: Justin C07/20/2017
Airbags have leaked ever since they were installed. I have removed and re installed twice to try and stop the leak. No luck.

GMC Yukon
Great product. I have a 1/2 ton Yukon pulling a 23 foot toy hauler. Without the bags it would squat the truck 4-5 inches. With the bags it only squats 2 inches. The control of the vehicle is much better. A cheap product for the added ride, and safety it provides.
by: Jeff 09/20/2022
Good product. I used them to stiffen the suspension for towing our boat
The installation was somewhat difficult trying to get the bags inside the springs. Next was blindly getting the hoses connected. Not something I would want to do again.

For 2016 suburban works excellent
Highly recommend.

2006 GMC Yukon XL
I first realized that I needed some help leveling my 2006 Yukon XL right after I hooked my 2 place trailer to the vechile. My previous Yukon had self leveling rear shocks, the 2006 did not come w/ that option. I mounted the compressor on the top of the passenger side wheel well, (there is plenty of room there, & away from engine heat) I mounted the pump & dump switchs , & the pressure gage on a piece of kydex that I cut to fit in the little cubby that is below the heat/ac controls. The hardest part was getting the lift "bags" into the coil spring tower, time & patience. The install looks factory, & works great to level the vechile while towing. Great product!
by: Kenneth 06/21/2023
All was good except for the small clamps. 3 of them broke as I was trying to install them.
by: Juan N05/19/2017
2005 GMC Yukon XL
To be completely honest I was not too happy with the AirLift 1000. After installation I used them for one trip with a load and one side burst on the highway. Having said this I wasn't satisfied with how they worked.
I never claimed any warranty or contacted anyone because I really didn't have the time to reach out to anyone. I was looking for the pictures that I took back in March/April of 2016 but I have been unable to locate them. If I do locate them I will send them to you. Please note I have discarded the bags but what I can tell you is the one that burst was split at the seam and the pressure was per the manual.

2010 Chevrolet Suburban
I had a similar AirLift system installed on a Trailblazer close to 10 years ago, and that system is still functional. I bought this part number to install on a Suburban a year ago. It was a little challenging to fit the air bags into the coil springs, but it worked. The installation was very clean installing the Schrader valve behind the gas cap door. The system made a big improvement on leveling the Suburban towing with 600-800 lbs tongue weight.

Great product, my order was in stock but didn't ship. I called to inquire and it was immediately resolved and shipped that night. It showed up much faster than originally expected and will help me get on the road faster.

2004 Chevy Suburban Z71
I installed these on my 2004 Burb Z71. It was much easier than I had thought it would be. After jacking it up, putting it on stands and lowering the axle back down, there was a huge gap in the springs for the air bags to pass through. The hardest part was attaching the air hose to the top of the bags after they were inside of the spring. The package included a heat shield for the exhaust pipe which I quickly threw away. There is a good 5 inches between the pipe and the spring. Routing the air hose back to the bumper was easy and I located the air valve in the plate that has the trailer wire hookups. I hope they work as advertised, I hate the back of my Burb sagging when I poll my camper.

2012 Chevrolet Avalanche
Air lift kit was easy to install on 2012 Chevy Avalanche and provided the needed lift to correct tail sag that occurred when towing boat/trailer.
After 1 one of use the kit has exceeded my expectation. Chevy should have provided as a factory mounted option.
by: John V06/05/2016
2006 Chevrolet Avalanche
Quick delivery, and exactly what I expected. The only tip I can offer - my installation had the air connection oriented on the top. The first bag I installed the bag and then connected the air line. Feeding the air line down through the coil spring and attaching to the air bag, and then feeding the air bag (collapsed, and held by zip ties) into the spring was much easier.
The bags took the slight wallowing out of my Avalanche when pulling my enclosed 2-place sled trailer down the road! The best bang for the buck I've found for my truck yet.

See what our Experts say about this Air Lift Vehicle Suspension
- Air Spring Comparison for 2007 Cadillac Escalade ESVBoth the Firestone # F4108 and Air Lift # AL60769 helper springs are confirmed to fit your Cadillac Escalade as long as you don't have the auto-leveling option. If your Caddy has the auto-leveling you'll need to go with the Firestone. There isn't a lot to separate the two. They install the same and have the same purpose and ratings. Firestone does have the brand recognition. You really can't go wrong either way.
view full answer... - Correct Air Helper Springs for 1982 Chevy El CaminoThe correct Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for a 1982 Chevrolet El Camino are the # AL60733. The # AL60769 is for other vehicles and not designed to fit an El Camino. These are designed to fit inside of your vehicle's rear coil spring suspension for added support with a load leveling capacity of 1,000 lbs.
view full answer... - Air Spring Options For 2004 Chevy Avalanche 1500So we do have an option for air suspension kits for your 2004 Chevy Avalanche 1500 (so long as it does not have the AutoRide auto-leveling), but I checked directly with the manufacturers and there are no standard air bags that fit your truck. What does fit are air bags that install inside your truck's coil springs; so while they don't fit the same way as air bags on the axle, these springs do provide a great deal of added suspension support. Like standard air bags, the air bags that fit...

You could use the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear # AL60769, but these are designed for coil spring systems, so it would not work if you've got leaf springs.

view full answer... - Weight Capacity of the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper SpringsThe Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs, part # AL60769, have a total capacity (put together) of 1000 pounds. They are not meant to be a suspension replacement, but more of an enhancement for your existing coil springs. Keep in mind that these do not increase your vehicle's weight capacity. They are more for keeping your vehicle level and diminishing sway. I've linked to a video demonstration of this.
view full answer... - AirLift Air Helper Springs Vs Timbren Enhancement System for a 2004 Cadillac EscaladeThe Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRG25C can be installed in conjunction with the AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60769 but I do not recommend it. Installing both the Timbren's and AirlIft bags would create an extremely stiff suspension which would be rather bouncy and uncomfortable. Instead, I would stick with the AirLift bags as long as the tongue weight of your trailer does not exceed 1,000 lbs. If the tongue weight of your trailer does...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement Product for 2015 Chevy TahoeIt sounds like you're needing a suspension enhancement product. I'd recommend the Timbren Aeon spring system, part # TGMRYS4. The springs have a 6000 lb capacity, but they will NOT increase the load bearing capacity of the vehicle. The nice thing about the Timbren springs is that they won't come into play until weight is added to the rear of the vehicle. When the vehicle is unloaded, the vehicle will ride normally. If you click the provided link, you can see a video of the springs being...

If you'd care to reply with some more information about the trailer you're towing, and its fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight (see link for ways to determine this),...

view full answer... - Rear Axle Helper Spring Kit for 2004 GMC Yukon Denali with Factory-Installed Auto-Leveling ShocksThe air springs from AirLift kit # AL60769 may fit your coils springs but these systems are not made to be used along with the factory installed auto-leveling shock option since the two systems can fight each other. You can use a jounce spring kit like # TGMRG25C (4WD) or # TGMRYS4 (2WD) or a coil helper spring such as # CSS-1168R if you need additional rear-axle support.
view full answer... - Will Helper Springs Provide Lift For 2002 Chevrolet Suburban SuspensionAir helper springs like the Air Lift AirLift 1000, part # AL60769, are not designed to lift your 2002 Chevrolet Suburban. These are intended to aid the suspension in your vehicle when heavy loads are being carried. They are designed to help stabilize and level the vehicle with up to 1,000 lbs of support. This system does not increase your weight carrying capacity. The air pressure can be adjusted from 5 psi to 35 psi, and has a lifetime warranty

The bags work by pushing between the coils in the rear springs which provides a firmer ride and does not allow the coils to compress as easily. I recommend using the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ as this compressor has a smart manifold that will monitor the air pressure inside the bags and keep the pressure to within 3psi when the vehicle...

view full answer... - Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2019 Chevy SuburbanAir Lift makes an air bag kit that fits the rear suspension of your 2019 Chevy Suburban that would work great.

One of my associates here at etrailer was able to confirm for me that the truck did come with short coil springs to start with.

Great improvement to my ride height when towing my 22 foot toy hauler. Really help stabilize the rear of the H2 Hummer.
