1,000-lb Capacity. Upgrade your vehicle's rear coil spring suspension with this kit. Molded polyurethane air springs fit inside your existing coil springs for added support when hauling heavy loads. Improves handling, braking, and overall ride.
Features:
Specs:
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 1000 adjustable air springs have 1,000 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 1000 is a breeze to install with standard tools and comes with an easy-to-follow instruction manual.
AirLift 1000 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 1000 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.

2017 Toyota Sienna van, very helpful for heavy loads and load balancing when pulling 13’ fiberglass and 19’ popup campers. Have used these for years on several different vehicles and have never been disappointed.
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 me
It exceeded my spectations! holds up my 2011 sienna at a perfect level when towing my bike! the ride quality is ecxellent when under load
There are 6 in our family and we like to play on our vacations. Which means lots of people and stuff in and on our mini-van, and a bike rack with 5 bikes on the back (and one bike inside). Our old Toyota Sienna clearly sagged under the burden, so when we got a 2011 Sienna which has a lower bumper to begin with, I was nervous about how it would handle everything, and particularly with the bike rack out back if it might even scrape the ground at times (bottom of hills, speed bumps...). I purchased these to help the suspension. They installed relatively easily, and we took our first trip of about 450 miles to Cape Cod and all went well. We had minimal if any noticeable drop in the back of the van, even fully loaded with all six of us, a full rooftop carrier, 5 bikes on the back, and extra seating inside (van sits 8) folded down and that available space also packed.
We have only had these for a few weeks and I am a bit of a perfectionist, so these may very well deserve an excellent mark. The only thing that is keeping me from that is that I have only had them for a little while, so if they keep performing as they have so far, I would grade them as excellent.
Installation was easy and it functions and does not lose air. Simple setup very happy
Have had these for better than a year. With the excessive amount of weight I haul around daily, I've seen vast improvement in overall handling. Also much smoother ride,with alot less tire wear. Not to mention no more dragging of the hitch in and out of approaches. In short I have been overly impressed with this product performance and ease of installation! 5 STARS
We bought this van when the kids were little and now that they’ve grown up there’s added weight this product will help level out the load , have so much stuff more to carry these days. Their backpacks are bigger than them .

This lift system was exactly what the doctor ordered! We pumped up the airbags to the maximum, and then loaded my wife’s 2008 Toyota Sienna minivan up with 4+ passengers, camping supplies, a spare tire on the roof, and then attached a cargo rack to the hitch with an oversized cooler packed to the gills, firewood, and chairs without the bumper dropping an inch!!! It was an amazing sight to behold. I highly recommend this lift system!
Great Product! No more back end squat when hauling bikes and gear. Took about 1.5 hours to install. The installation video made the install straight forward.
Easy to install in my 2012 Toyoda Sienna AWD. The air hose supplied was barely just long enough to reach the rear, where a custom made mount is required for the Schrader valves. I used 2 valves, rather than the "T" for for 1 valve, so each air bag would retain separate air pressure for better anti-sway support when cornering. Rear end squat is minimal with my 450 lb motorcycle mounted on a hitch rack and added load inside. The ride is noticeably flatter through corners, especially after lifting the van 2" higher for much better 8" clearance for well worn dirt double-track roads.

After 1 year of use, I suggest setting air pressure to 10 psi or less when there is no added vehicle load to avoid a bouncy ride. For example leaving 25 psi in the Air Lift after a load is removed, produces a bouncy ride on less than very smooth pavement.
Just installed it and have not had a chance to really use it yet. Install was pretty simple. The hardest part really was trying to figure out how to route the passenger side tubing away from the exhaust. I did it with a floor jack on one side and then the other. I went ahead and used the "T" valve with one Schrader valve and drilled a whole in the bracket that the trailer wiring secures to. Took about 30-45 min not including drilling the hole in the bracket.
Order and delivery were flawless.
Thanks etrailer
Works wonders for pulling a popup with my sienna
Just what I needed on my Toyota Van. This combined with my Curt Weight Distribution Hitch makes towing my Wolf Pup travel trailer all good! Nice and level now. Easy to install too. I kind of like leaving pressure in them even when not towing to reduce body roll on the van. I ran two separate air hoses on mine so pressure can’t move from one side to the other.
Very nice product so far. Installed on a 2011 Toyota Sienna van that has been converted to a rear entry wheelchair van. The airbags allowed for that extra stiffness needed to compensate for the added weight of the wheelchair. Ride quality did not suffer at all, and in fact, felt better with less sway. Hopefully it will last for a long time, but so far, we are very happy with it.
This product is an excellent value. I installed on my 2013 Toyota Sienna FWD in a couple of hours, using the instructional video as a reference. When I filled up the bags to 30 PSI and hitched up my pop-up trailer, there was no noticeable sag in the rear suspension. I have yet to take the rig out on a long trip, but first impressions are very good.
Thank you!!!
The product is holding up great. (Pun intended). The van doesn’t sag in rear then loaded with all the kids and I can add a little pressure to keep it level when we are towing. Thank you etrailer for all the reality and support you have to help help us install the products you sell.
Did the job - trailer load no longer pulled it down so it dragged going into dips and inclines
This is my second air lift, I installed this one on my 2013 Sienna last June before trip to Miami. The first airlift I installed years ago on my 2014 Ram it is still going strong never had any issues. Both installations was straight forward. Common sense and safety while installing this product. It helps to
apply interior detailer on the rubber cylinder it will slide inside the coil lot smoother, believe me! You will thank me later:)
You have a good service, hopefully the air bag has a good quality too. Kevin
This made the world of a difference on my Toyota Sienna 2008. That minivan with the trailer hitch, Air Helpers and wiring harness from etrailer was allowed my to move with a minivan. That van hauled so many loads too and from storage, its not even funny. If your considering hauling a camper in a minivan, I wouldn't hesitate, get em...
does the work and posts results for you if your considering...
Worked well on my Sienna van. I pull a 6x12 enclosed trailer with a hot air balloon system. This fixed the squatting in the rear that I was experiencing.
Product installed easily on my Toyota Sienna AWD and inflated correctly with no leakage. I ended up using two loom clamps and self-tapping screws that I purchased at [local] Hardware store. Had hoped to use only wire ties, but realized that loom clamps make for a much more secure installation. The ride is much stiffer at 35psi especially since the van is empty at the moment. Still need to experiment around with pressures that are ideal for an empty van and one filled with passengers and gear.

I suggest lowering your 2015 Sienna air springs to 5 psi for a smoother ride when you are not towing or loaded up. When you are loaded, inflate to 30 psi.

This Air Lift kit has been working well for me. No leakage at all. I have taken many road trips to local National Forests and just got back from a 4500 mile trip to the Badlands. I have found that keeping it at 10 psi is just about right for my driving style. This kit is the way to go to level out your ride when you are carrying a lot of payload.
Great Product
Toyota Sienna 2014, super easy to install, just follow eTrailer video!!
Great product, van went up about 1 inch, with 35psi.

One year in and they are working very well. I did not test them terribly much this past year, but I have to say what we have done has all gone very well. I am very happy with this purchase and have no complaints.
