Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear

by: Chuck02/07/2024

Cannot be beat for the value and performance-
Towing a 7K lb boat with Independent suspension on the Toyota Sequoiq, this eliminated the sag and actually rides better inflated even without the trailer weight. Installation is easy and straight forward. Jack the vehicle up and use zip ties to make the bags smaller and tighter to slide inbetween the springs, then cut ties!1722996

Easy, straight forward installation. Looking for flexibility to avoid rear spring sag when pulling trailer and carrying loads. I'm happy I went with Air Lift and of course etrailer. Was very impressed with etrailer's outreach and the quick shipping and delivery.1720048

The Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs (Rear - AL60786) to fit my 2015 Toyota Sequoia (8 passenger vehicle) were purchased specifically for a lengthy 6 day trip with my Wife's two brothers and their spouses. This also included a roof carry-all and a hitch receiver Carry-all box to accommodate all our luggage. So, the bottom line the "AirLift Helper Springs worked! 390922

Precisely as expected! Great.

So easy to install , I just add air before I tow my travel trailer and believe me when I say that it makes a serious difference less sag and more control when driving down the highway especially on windy days . I have one line per bag and if its lower on one side I just adjust the air . I recommend using the bags . 766019

1st drive with 6 people in my suv , pulling 16 ft box trailer with 4 motorcycles worked out great! Bags worked as advertised. Back end of my Sequoia stayed level. Ran about 30 lbs, i think i could run 20-25 and be fine. as long as this set up lasts , it's a total win1505075

One of them popped after a month 1392438

You mentioned that one of the air bags popped after a month. I did not see that you had reached out to us and so I wanted to know if you had reached out to the manufacturer? The air bags do have a lifetime warranty against defect.

Fit well, but not that easy to install without a lift (was able to use a friend's) to access and spread the coil springs apart, insert the bags, route the tubing and secure the tubing clamps. Cable ties too short for securing to some locations, so have some long (over 10") ties available. Went with single fill valve and had no problems with leveling. Plan well ahead before cutting the tubing, because there is little to spare (not enough for separate fill valves on a Toyota Sequoia). Well worth the price - made a huge difference when towing a heavy load or with a near maximum tongue weight. 250038

Continues to perform well, no problems, but you do need to pay attention to minimum air pressure with change of seasons. Well worth the price, especially with heavy tongue weight on trailer and rear of vehicle packed to the max, like with 5 five gallon water jugs plus other equipment for a remote camping trip.

I took product to shop. They said they had to remove the springs..not true. I told them I watched YouTube and they don't remove springs. They said that's not the right way. I went home and lifted rear with floor jack. Read instructions that also said to fold and place in springs. Took 1 hour being very safe. Super easy. I put the inflator under rear wheel well. I towed 10000lbs trailer from l.a. to Savannah Georgia. Zero sagging or loss of air. Very smooth ride. Highly recommend for my Toyota sequoia.1299950

These airbags have been great. They were super quick and easy to install. They work great at reducing the sag of my 08 Sequoia when pulling my 16’x8’ enclosed trailer when loaded. Liked these so much I recommended them to a friend. Help install them on a Chevy Tahoe. Had them fully installed in under and hour. 762132

Installed myself and has been working great. It doesnt keep my Sequoia from sagging down totally but the bags are still holding pressure.

MY SUV used to drop in the rear a lot when I loaded my travel trailer , with this product I can level it out. Very easy to install Love AIR LIFT 1000 would recommend to anyone.1070292

Easy to install. Two things you have to be careful about with the air lines which are very soft and ply-able: 1) being sure the air line goes straight up out of the coil spring header so it doesn't get crushed, and 2) avoiding putting kinks in the black air lines as you zip-tie them onto the frame of the vehicle.1094238

The air lift bladders are prone to leakage. I have had 2 that began leaking and had to be replaced.1115691

They work great. I’ve used them to align my boat, a utility trailer and the wheelchair carrier for my wife. Has improved the ride and gas mileage by making the combinations more aero Dynamic. I would purchase again and recommend them to others1391431

Product arrived promptly. Very simple idea, but absolutely difficult as H&¿¿to install. Trying to squeeze the folded air bag between the coil Springs was an absolute nightmare. Maybe some springs on some vehicles have a larger spacing between the coil,but a 2019 Kia Sorento does not. It took almost 6hrs to install both sides. One trick that did help was to use a little silicone spray on the air bag where it was jammed into the coil spring. This helped make the bag slippery so it passed between the coil spring. Just don't get it all over the air bag or it will be too slippery to hold onto as you push it into place. The hose clamps are really a poor design, awkward to squeeze with pliers as you position them into place. So far bags appear to be holding air pressure. Time will tell has to how durable and dependable they will be.I installed them to assist with towing my camper and help reduce the squatting when towing.1316657

Reviewing the Air Lift 1000 kit 60860 for Kia/Hyundai SUV
Installed in a 2017 KIA Sorento LX. Like many other reviews claim, this was not easy to install although the factory video makes it look so, so simple. I followed the instructions for the first bag, it took me 2 and ½ hours to get it inside the spring coil. I used an exacto knife for cutting the hole, which worked very well. Not having a spoon type tire iron, I eventually settled on the handle of a large crescent wrench. After inserting the bag ½ way in, using the wrench to push on the part already in the spring brought the rest of the bag further in. Eventually I finally got the first bag inserted although it was twisted. Inflating the bag straightened it out. Starting on the second bag, I noticed it was much more pliable. It had been sitting in the Florida sun for the past 2 ½ hours. I folded it down as instructed, then folded it in ½ lengthwise and used zip ties to secure it. After sitting in the hot sun for another hour while I hydrated, it only took me 10 minutes to get the 2nd bag inserted and needed no other tools to assist. Carefully snipped the zip ties off and it popped into place. Running the air lines was simple enough. The hose clamps are very fragile, be patient, be careful or they will break.
Overall I am quite pleased with the performance of the bags. They make a big difference in how the KIA rides when towing. They hold pressure and are easy to inflate & deflate. I use a bicycle tire pump as I have no need to modify the pressure in route and didn’t see the need to spend the money on a remote control inflation system.1638734

Installed this kit on our 08' sienna awd the day before a road trip. Install went fairly smooth. It did take a couple of attempts to get the air bags stuffed into the coil springs. Routed both airlines individually and mounted on lower bumper black trim just above the hitch. Held air at 35psi overnight, deflated to 25psi with cargo and hit the road. All seems well and the van handles better loaded.
Have to echo other positive reviews of this product. Makes the sienna even more versatile, and it is both affordable and a moderate diy project for shadetrees like me1633291
