Features to know about

Stay Level Under Load: Up to 1,000 lbs of Rear Suspension Support

Heavy loads can make the rear of your vehicle sag and throw off your braking and handling. The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs add up to 1,000 lbs of load-leveling support to your existing rear coil springs. They help keep your vehicle level when you’re hauling or towing, which means better steering control, proper headlight aim, and less stress on your tires and factory suspension.

Fine-Tune Your Ride: Adjustable Air Pressure from 5 psi to 35 psi

Every load is different, and you can dial in the exact support you need. These molded polyurethane air springs adjust anywhere between 5 psi and 35 psi for even load distribution. Inflate both springs together for general load leveling or set up dual air lines to adjust each side separately when carrying uneven cargo. With manual Schrader valves included, you can easily tweak pressure using a standard air source or pair them with a compressor system for on-the-go adjustments.

Smooth Out the Rough Spots: Shock Absorption and Stability

When bumps or sway start to wear you out, these air springs step in to steady things out. By fitting inside the factory coil springs, they absorb road shock and reduce sway so your ride feels more stable over rough pavement or uneven ground. The firmer base under load means less bounce and smoother handling when towing or hauling heavy gear.

Built Tough for Everyday Use: Durable Polyurethane Construction

The Air Lift 1000 springs are made from molded polyurethane that stands up to constant flexing and pressure changes. The kit includes two air springs, two heat shields, tubing, Schrader valves, and hardware for installation inside the existing coil spring suspension. Once installed, they deliver consistent support without affecting your normal ride height when unloaded.

Confidence in Every Trip: Backed by a Lifetime Warranty

This system is built to last and comes with a lifetime warranty plus a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. It’s a practical way to keep your suspension performing right through years of towing, hauling, and road trips—level, stable, and ready for whatever load you throw at it.

They already crumbled and don’t work at all. We were shocked! Completely broken down on one side. We put them on our new gladiator. Complete junk!

The springs are covered by a lifetime warranty. I will have Air Lift reach out to you.

I’ve been using Air Lift products on all my trucks for many years. I have been very satisfied and the system has never failed me. Great product.



by:

This kit was super easy to install, and it has performed flawlessly. It exceeded my expectations. When I put a loaded trailer on my '21 Gladiator, it didn't squat,the ride was not as bouncy as I'd expected, and it was super easy to inflate and deflate. Highly recommend if you do ANY towing with a Gladiator!



by:

This kit is well thought out and easy to install. Instructions go into detail and provide an excellent foundation to understand what's involved.

The examples for routing the air lines were helpful and the supplied hardware made it all fit seamlessly.

While I understand this product assumes a stock suspension coniguration, it would be great to make spacers available for lifted vehicles.



by:

I buy a lot of jeep parts. These air bags are among the least expensive but made a huge difference! Delivered very quickly as well! Highly recommend

Excellent best addition to my Gladiator for the cost. Air bags work like new a year later



by:

Put these on our 2020 Jeep Gladiator, to make the tow package useable. Really does well with the 8 speed variable transmission and over 7,650 capacity. That said it's still got a jeep suspension and is great for all the off-road fun Jeep is known for. We had a substantial V when pulling the camper till I installed the Air Lift System. All good and driving on a level plane.



by:

The suspension on my jeep Gladiator Mojave is a dream come true, but when towing it sags with very little weight, I was looking for an option that would help with keeping my truck level but did not affect the awesome ride when not loaded, Airlift 1000 seemed to be the right choice and I was right! I had to toy around with the air preassure, 25 lbs when loaded, 8 lbs when not. If you are not loaded and keep the pressure high, the ride becomes super bouncy. But that is what that valve is for.... So far my truck is level when towing, and smooth riding when not (pressure lowered to 8 bs). and best of all it took me 40 minutes with a helper to make the full install. and for a xxx bucks??? seriously??!!! Thanks etrailer... ( I will post before and after pictures at a later time.)



by:

nice product for the money



by:

I have a ‘21 Gladiator ecodiesel and a 16’ trailer with a ‘95 YJ rock crawler, I had a lot of rear end sag when pulling, almost 3” loaded. I was skeptical of these things and read a bunch of stuff about people having problems with them, this was definitely the cheapest way to try to solve my problem so I pulled the trigger. They work great! The directions are easy and to the point and install is a breeze.i would suggest to anyone looking for these to follow the directions and remove the springs to install instead of rolling and collapsing the bags to try to shove them between the coils. Total install time for me was 1 hr 20 min and I took my time installing air lines with wire loom protection.



by:

Works exactly as described. Holds proper pressure indefinitely. I have not had to add air since installation 9 months ago. Easy install. I have them on separate lines with the Schrader valves easily accessible on the rear bumper. Completely reliable.

  • When to Adjust the PSI on Air Lift Coil Air Bags on a 2022 Jeep Gladiator
    Hey Rob, welcome back! You can add or remove air to the Air Lift 1000 air bags item # AL60830 at any time. For your use you're definitely going to want to fine tune the PSI in the air bags when you're all loaded up. That includes the trailer connected and whatever gear you plan on throwing in the bed. An onboard air compressor like the Air Lift WirelessONE item # AL25980 would allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags from your phone. If you have any additional questions, go ahead...

  • Does Air Lift Make Heavier Air Bags for 2020 Jeep Gladiator
    Hi Jonathan; that doesn't sound right, do you have a picture you can send? I'm sorry to say that Air Lift does not make a heavier air bag for your 2020 Jeep Gladiator. The # AL60830 is the only option. If you really want to stick with air bags you could try the Firestone # F29ZR. Have you considered SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS42XR? These have a very simple, straightforward installation. They also don't require any maintenance once installed. With a capacity of 1,400 lbs...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement To Prevent Sag On A 2023 Jeep Gladiator
    For your 2023 Jeep Gladiator we recommend the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS42XR. These are 1,400 lb capacity urethane springs. I prefer these over other options for a few reasons. Firstly because they will be a very easy bolt-on install. I also like the Sumo Springs because they feature Progressive load control. Meaning the spring becomes more firm as more weight is applied. So it will help keep your ride level and absorb shock when you are towing, and it will also allow you...

  • Compressor for Air Springs and Tires for 2020 Jeep Gladiator
    There are some options for you, but the Air compressor you mentioned isn't going to be a good way to inflate tires along with the Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60830 that fit your 2020 Jeep Gladiator. For that you'd need a separate set up, the Air Lift WirelessONE Suspension System for Air Helper Springs - Remote - Bluetooth - EZ Mount # AL77DQ. That compressor system is not wireless, so it isn't as easy to use or have the convenience of WirelessAir so another option is...

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For A 2022 Jeep Gladiator To Prevent Sagging While Towing
    Choosing the correct rear suspension enhancement for your 2022 Jeep Gladiator will depend on how much sag you are actually getting and if you want to have something that is adjustable or not. The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS62XR will be the more heavy duty option as it can offer up to 1,800 pounds of support (at 50% compression), but once it's on, it's on. There is no way to adjust it to a lower setting when you are not towing, so it will affect the ride. This isn't going...

  • Does Air Lift 1000 Helper Springs AL60830 Fit A 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave W/ Factory 1-1/2" Lift?
    I reached out to my contact at Air Lift and she was able to confirm that the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60830 you were looking at for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator Mojave will still fit perfectly. She mentioned that the factory 1-1/2" Lift your Mojave has is not enough to cause the springs to not work properly. In addition to the helper springs I recommend adding an on-board air compressor kit # F2610 which allows you to adjust the air pressure in the helper springs from your smart...

  • Recommended Air Bag Kit for a 2021 Jeep Gladiator
    Sorry Richard we only have one air bag kit for your 2021 Jeep Gladiator, the Air Lift 1000 item # AL60830, and it is not going to work with your upgraded coil springs. Additionally, I do not have any other solution for you because the rest of our suspension enhancement options are based off of the stock suspension. The extra 2-1/2" of travel you have added will render them ineffective.

You will need to know how much actual lift your vehicle will provide you at the rear of your vehicle. If you have a block lift, you will be able one of the Airlift stock systems.

  • Will Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs Fit a 2022 Jeep Gladiator Mojave with 2" Lift Kit
    If the spacing between where the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60830 mount to your 2022 Jeep Gladiator will be increased by 2" then it will be a problem, yes. Since this looks to be the case I actually recommend using the Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1195R instead because they fit in-between the coils and aren't subject to the height of the mounting points on your vehicle. The nice thing about the Coil SumoSprings is how they are progressive so you won't feel any effect...

    I reached out to the manufacturer, who told me the Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60830 that fit your 2020 Jeep Gladiator are only designed for stock coil springs, so your springs would need to be the same size as stock in order to work. They said they would need to know the diameter and length of the coil springs that are currently on your Gladiator (if they are different than stock) to see if there was a kit that would fit. If you let me know those dimensions...

Apart from the fact that the Air Lift WirelessAIR includes a system that can be controlled with your smart device, it also offers a dual-path inflation method.
