Features to know about

Smooth Rides with Heavy Loads: 2,100-lb Load-Leveling Capacity

When you're hauling heavy loads, consistency is key. The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs bolster your vehicle's rear coil spring suspension to stabilize your ride, cutting down on squatting and ensuring a level experience even when carrying up to 2,100 lbs. This system makes every towing journey smoother by improving handling and braking performance.

Customized Comfort on Every Drive: Adjustable Air Pressure

Finding the right balance isn't just for gymnasts. With adjustable air pressure from 5 psi to 50 psi, these air helper springs let you manually control how much support you need. Inflate each spring independently, especially handy for handling off-center loads, so your ride feels just right every time.

Built to Endure: Durable Molded Polyurethane

Built from tough molded polyurethane, these springs are as hard-wearing as they are supportive. Designed to go inside your vehicle's rear coil spring suspension, they absorb road shock and diminish sway, setting new standards for stability and ride comfort. Your back suspension will thank you.

Enhance with Ease: Simple Installation

No welding or complex tools needed here! The Air Lift 1000 HD system fits snugly into your existing setup with standard tools and a straightforward instruction manual. For those who love to get hands-on, this makes the process of beefing up your vehicle's ability to handle heavy loads both quick and rewarding.

Consistent Performance: Lifetime Warranty and Satisfaction Guarantee

With a lifetime warranty backing up the product and a 60-day satisfaction guarantee to boot, Air Lift 1000 HD ensures you have peace of mind. Try it for 60 days and if it’s not for you, get a full product refund. This guarantee reflects the manufacturer's belief in the strength and reliability of their product.

Upgrade on the Go: Compatibility with Compressor Systems

For those who love tech-enabled convenience, you have the option to add a compressor system that allows monitoring and automatic adjustment of air pressure. This makes real-time, in-cab alterations to air pressure possible, taking your adaptability on journeys to the next level.

  • Will Air Lift Air Springs Fit 2024 Ram 1500 With Lift
    Hi Mark, It's possible but it's going to depend on if the Black Widow lift changed the OEM coil springs; if they did then the springs won't fit. And while I assume so, in my search I could not find anything specific on if the springs were changed or not, so just in case they weren't I wanted to offer the option. Additionally, keep in mind there are different parts depending on if you have the 2024 Ram 1500 or 2024 Ram 1500 Classic, which mention because the part you mentioned is for the...

  • Availability of Air Bags and Air Compressor for 2022 Ram 1500 TRX
    Hi Darren; the last vehicle you asked about was a 2024 Silverado 1500. Unfortunately, there are no standard air bags that are compatible with the TRX model. It looks like the 2022 Ram 1500 TRX comes with the air suspension system which means none of the suspension enhancement options will fit. If I'm wrong and you have coil springs, the next best thing is the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60828HD. These have a load-leveling capacity up to 2,100 lbs....

  • Are Air Lift Coil Springs of LoadLifter 5000 Better for a 2022 Ram 1500
    I try to steer people away from the Air Lift 1000 for Coil Springs, like part # AL60828HD for your 2022 Ram 1500, just because the springs can pinch the bags where the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL57375 just require the 5 psi minimum to help keep the brackets from pinching the bag. Unless you were going over really rough terrain you shouldn't have been experiencing much difference in ride quality if the bags were only set to 5 psi. The only thing I can think of is if you were really bottoming...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2019 Ram 1500 Bighorn 4WD
    Ram's will naturally squat a bit more because of the rear coil springs, but if you're dealing with a lot of squat then air springs would be the best option to help get you back to factory ride height. Coil air springs, like the # AL60828HD, that you were looking at will offer a bit of help but really don't make as much of a difference compared to regular air springs. Instead I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88375. These...

  • How Come Air Lift # AL60828HD Requires Removal of Coil to Install
    The HD air bags from Air Lift part # AL60828HD are thicker material than the non-HD bags which is why you can't slip them between the coils of the rear suspension. Instead you have to push the bag through the top of the coil spring.

  • Is the 2,100 Lb Capacity for the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs On a 2019+ Ram 1500 Each
    The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs part # AL60828HD which are a fit for a 2019+ Ram 1500 have a combined load leveling capacity of 2,100 lbs. That said, this will likely exceed the capacity of the truck as it relates to payload.

  • Why Won't The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs AL60818HD Fit 2022 Classic & New Body Style Ram 1500?
    The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for the 2022 Ram 1500 # AL60828HD does use different air springs and protectors than the kit for the Classic # AL60818HD trucks. This tells me the trucks do use different size coil springs for the rear suspension.

  • Which Air Lift 1000 Kit Fits 2021 Ram 1500
    We have an Air Lift 1000 Helper Spring Kit that does fit your 2021 Ram 1500 with the part # AL60828HD but the part # AL60818HD that you mentioned does not fit your truck.

  • Suspension Enhancement Kit for 2019 Ram 1500 with 2.5 inch Lift Kit
    I have a suspension enhancement solution for your 2019 Ram 1500 but you can't use the Air Lift kits like the part # AL60828HD with lift kits. So instead you'd need to use the Timbren Kit part # TDR1500DS with lift spacers like # A25723-90AH00 for each inch of lift on each side of the axle to take up the extra space created by the lift.

  • Differences Between Air Lift 1000 and 1000HD Helper Springs For Coil Springs on 2019 Ram 1500
    Air Lift doesn't offer a 1000 system for a 2019 Ram 1500, so there's one large difference. The other is the capacity. The regular Air Lift 1000 system offers a capacity up to 1000 lbs, while the 1000HD system like # AL60828HD has a 2100 lb capacity. I've linked to product description videos for the # AL60828HD as well as for a typical Air Lift 1000 system.

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2020 Ram 1500 Towing 5th Wheel
    The Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs part # AL60828HD are perfect for a 2020 Ram 1500 towing a 5th wheel trailer and what I would install personally if I were towing. They are easy to install and don't require any modifications to the vehicle like the other air bag options do. They will provide plenty of support and work great to help reduce/minimize the bouncing.

  • Air Lift Helper Springs and Compressor System For a 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn 2 Wheel Drive
    The only Air Lift Air Helper Springs available for your 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn 2wd are the Kit # AL60828HD. The LoadLifter 5000 # AL88375 you found will only fit on 4wd trucks. The Springs # AL60828HD are rated for up to 2,100lbs of capacity which is going to be higher than your vehicle payload. Be sure to not exceed the manufacturers payload and towing ratings as the springs will not increase your capabilities, they only make it safer when hauling heavy loads. I recommend using the Air...

  • Recommended Air Bags and Onboard Compressor for a 2019 Ram 1500 w/ Coil Springs
    For ease of use it's recommended to add an onboard air compressor like the Air Command Compressor System item # F2610 when you install airbags. This will give you the ability to adjust the pressure in the air springs from the comfort of your cab. The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs item # AL60828HD you were looking at only work for the 2019 Ram 1500's with rear coil springs. These offer a 2,100 lbs load leveling capacity. It is recommended to set up your weight distribution...

  • Will the Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs Work On a 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel
    I spoke with Air Lit and can confirm the Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs part # AL60828HD will fit a 2019 Ram 1500 Rebel. The factory lift will not be an issue. If you will be filing the air bags frequently, you might want to invest in an on-board compressor system for which I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System part # AL74000EZ.

  • Will the AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs part # AL60828HD Help my 2019 Ram 1500 with 1,700 lbs. TW
    The Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60828HD is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Ram 1500. These can be helpful in eliminating a lot of the sag you are experiencing. Keep in mind these do not increase your capacity they just take the strain and stress off of the suspension of your Ram.

  • Troubleshooting Truck Sag with Trailer and Weight Distribution System Connected on 2019 Ram 1500
    The Curt TruTrack Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control # C17500 you referenced is rated for total tongue weights between 800 and 1000 lbs. Based on your camper dry weight, it does appear that once loaded and with any cargo behind the rear axle of your truck you should be in the appropriate range. I've attached some articles to assist. If you aren't getting any difference in sag between when the system is engaged and when the bars aren't under load, then it appears you may not...

  • Suspension Enhancement To Reduce Sag While Towing With 2013 Ram 1500
    I do have an option for you but the AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60828HD is only a fit for the 2019 Ram 1500. I recommend Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear part # AL60818HD for improving the rear sag in the Ram. These air helper springs will fit into the coil springs of the suspension and support them to eliminate the sag and sway that you may experience when towing a heavier load. They do not affect the ride quality as much...

  • Recommended Air Bags for a 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie Diesel
    Yes, they will so long as your 2021 Ram 1500 Laramie has the factory coil springs. The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs item # AL60828HD are designed to fit inside the factory coil springs so you have a diesel engine won't affect the fitment. If you have air ride these will not work. I have linked an installation video below so you can see the set up process. If you have any additional questions feel free to email me directly.

  • Will B&W Turnoverball Gooseneck Hitch Work On 2020 Ram 1500 with Air Lift LoadLifter Air Bags
    The B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch part # BWGNRK1319 is a great option for a 2020 Ram 1500. I actually installed this gooseneck hitch myself (video below) but I will level with you in advance that it's not an easy install, one of the more challenging B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitches out there. It does not install on the outside of the frame like most do so you may run into issues with the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs part # AL57375. I...

  • Are Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs Compatible With Leveling/Lift Kit On 2019 Ram 1500?
    As long as you did not change the rear coil springs on your new body style 2019 Ram 1500 the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs # AL60828HD will still fit with your lift/leveling kit. This system will also not work if your Ram has the factory air ride system. I recommend the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System # AL58WQ to control the air pressure in the air bags. This system allows you to control the air pressure from your smart phone using the Air Lift app. It also has a...

    I have a solution for you but no the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs item # AL60828HD will not work with coil spacer springs. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers item # AL88375. These have a 5,000-lb weight capacity. The air bags reduce the strain on your rear suspension, increase safety, and compensate for uneven loads. They level your truck from front to back and adjust independently for side-to-side...

If you already have air springs such as the Air Lift 1000HD part # AL60828HD level the truck with it loaded as it will be when towing before setting the weight distribution system ball height and attaching the trailer. I recommend Reese Strait-Line weight distribution system part # RP66072 for your trailer that weighs 4500 pounds while...
