When you hook up a trailer or drop a heavy load in the bed, rear-end sag can throw off your handling and braking. The Air Lift Ride Control air helper springs add up to 2,000 lbs of load-leveling support to keep things even. They help your suspension carry weight without bottoming out, maintaining safe headlight aim and reducing strain on your factory setup. The result is a level stance, better steering response, and steadier braking when the load gets heavy.
Every load is different, and these air springs let you fine-tune your truck’s stance and comfort. Inflate each spring independently to level side-to-side or front-to-rear as needed. With pressure ranging from 5 psi to 100 psi, you can soften things up for everyday driving or firm them for towing stability. Manual inflation valves mount conveniently on the bumper for easy reach, and the system can be upgraded later with an onboard compressor for in-cab control.
Even on rough roads or when towing long distances, these air bags help smooth out the ride. They cushion bumps, minimize sway, and cut down on bounce that can make steering feel loose. By helping distribute weight evenly across your suspension, they keep your tires planted and wear even—so every mile feels more controlled and predictable.
Installing extra suspension support doesn’t need to be complicated. This kit mounts between your frame and leaf springs using included brackets, hardware, tubing, and Schrader valves. An exclusive alignment tool centers each air spring perfectly during installation to prevent rubbing against underbed components. It’s a straightforward setup built for DIYers who want reliable performance without guesswork.
Ride Control springs are designed for long-term reliability so you can depend on them season after season. They come backed by a lifetime warranty and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee, so you can test them out knowing they’re made to handle real-world hauling without air leaks or performance loss over time.

Ratings & Reviews
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
I love this system. It is perfect for leveling up my truck when hauling and towing.
EXCELLANT
Perfect fit
I just installed them. The only thing that could help is make some kind of wrench that would fit inside the fram of the Chevy. Other wise all went well.
works as it was advertised
So far works great, getting the bolt tightened in the frame is a pain but other than that looks good
Very happy with this product, definitely a lot easier to install with two people. Installation was on a 2017 GMC denali
Product showed up in a timely manner but the box was completely beat up and looked like it had been tossed around and re-taped multiple times. Manual inside was a bit chewed up but everything else inside looks ok. Will be installing in a 2017 GMC Denali 1500 later this week.
Super easy install. Perfect for load leveling and making sure you have the best control of your truck when pulling trailers.
Just installed on GMC Sierra 1500 with magneride. Everything fit great, installed air fitting in gas door. Fast shipping from etrailer!
Excellent product, couldn’t be happier after having it installed for a year now. Mileage varies on the level of installation difficulty. Some reviewers find it straight forward but I personally found that connecting the bolts inside the frame to be an exercise in frustration. Eventually got it done and have been very happy with the product since.
No drill, yes. Easy to install, no. Let me qualify that.
Everything about this installation is pretty straight forward except for the part about the short bolt that you have to install inside of the frame. The instructions say to hold the top of the bolt with a wrench and tighten the nut from below. The problem is that you have to do this while holding the top bracket in place and that the wrench meets the bolt head at about a forty five degree angle. This is difficult at best even if you find a way to tie up the top bracket so that you don't have to hold it. I was able to find an old 9/16" wrench that was shorter than my craftsman and was able to get that to work. If the wrench is too long it runs into adjacent structure outside of the frame when you have to feed it through the frame slot and hold it at an angle. I managed to get it done on both sides but laying on your back under the truck to do it isn't easy. After that, no problem. Just be sure to cut your tubing straight without crimping it and clean it off with some rubbing alcohol to get off all the dirt it picks up when feeding it around the frame.
As for how it works, I don't know yet. Just installed it yesterday and won't really need to use it for a couple months until I pull my trailer out of winter storage.
( 2012 Chevrolet Silverado LT 4x4 EXT cab 6'6' bed) Easy to install, directions are straight forward for a typical install, and mine wasn't a typical install but altered some brackets for easier installation, problem was I installed the 10 bolt base rail mounting kit(30035) for a fifth wheel as directed per instructions and the short brackets ended up 1" in where the bracket for the air lift need to sit, took my short brackets off and took them to a well qualified machine shop and had them modify them and the brackets to the air lift too make them a one piece unit, other than that I would have to re-drill holes for the fifth wheel thru the frame and move everything back and I didn't want to sacrifice any more holes in the bed and frame, I suggest Air lift and Reese hitch review the bracket and measurements to help improve a not so typical installation and also might want to look at different bracket measurements for other fifth wheel installs, I know this could only be a possible one off situation.. On an ending note I was rather surprised with the look and the ride after the install and I don't foresee any issues when I put the truck under a load I would recommend this product everyone if they want to beef up the 1/2 ton truck for a more comfortable and safer ride, The install after bracket modifications only too an hour for both sides. A++ product!!!
The Air Lift on my chevy pickup works great. I am able to add about 70-80 lbs. of pressure when towing my camping trailer and it levels it out perfectly. Makes it pull much easier and the hitch doesn't hit rocks, etc. when going off road with the camper.
Air Lift seemingly well engineered--brackets fit,bags fit,however, the 3/8 bolt that holds the driver side bracket up , as furnished, was too short..on that side, the brake lines are bolted to the frame in front of the access hole for the wrench ( whatever style) to be used to hold the head of the bolt..A longer bolt had to be substituted so as to be able to pinch the bolt from the downside..Also, the air fitting from bag to hose was defective(1) after installing bags, I had to remove one, awaiting parts, not very happy about this..hope things work well when new fitting arrives..At 71 yrs and having spent 4 hours doing a 2 hr job working under my truck, I am not real happy. sure hope .I don't find out those fittings are mfg in china!!
