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 1000HD adjustable air springs have 2,100 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 1000HD is a breeze to install with standard tools and comes with an easy-to-follow instruction manual.


AirLift 1000HD 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 1000HD 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.

  • 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...

  • What is Air Pressure Range of Air Lift Air Bag Kit # AL60828HD
    Howdy Craig, looks like back in January of 2021 you bought the Air Lift air bag kit part # AL60828HD from us. These have an air pressure range of 5 to 50 psi. This kit fits: 2019 - 2025 Ram 1500 2 Wheel Drive 2019 - 2025 Ram 1500 4 Wheel Drive

  • 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....

  • Does Air Bag AL60828HD Fit 2022 Ram Rebel
    Hey Karl, the Air Ride kit part # AL60828HD can work on your 2022 Ram 1500 if it does not have air suspension. It looks like the air suspension was optional for the Rebel so you'd need to verify that.

  • Are There Air Bags For 2020 Ram 1500 2WD For Support When Hauling Camper
    Hello Donny, So there is one set of air bags for your 2020 Ram 1500 2WD, but since your truck has coil springs, they are actually replacements for those springs. There isn't a set of air bags that air up and down apart from these, but if you wanted to convert from your coil springs you would do so with the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595. These will definitely give you better support than your Ram's current coil springs due to the fact you can adjust them to the air...

  • Do The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs Come With Schrader Valves?
    Hello Joe, thanks for reaching out. The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60828HD also have schrader valves, but they are not connected to the air bags themselves. There is an air line that attaches to the bag and allows the schrader valves to be attached near the bumper for easier access.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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...

  • 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...

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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...

  • 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.

    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.

    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.

    The use of a weight distribution system should level out your setup without needing air bags but the two systems do work in conjunction with each other. 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...
