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.

Towing a 7K lb boat with Independent suspension on the Toyota Sequoiq, this eliminated the sag and actually rides better inflated even without the trailer weight. Installation is easy and straight forward. Jack the vehicle up and use zip ties to make the bags smaller and tighter to slide inbetween the springs, then cut ties!
Easy, straight forward installation. Looking for flexibility to avoid rear spring sag when pulling trailer and carrying loads. I'm happy I went with Air Lift and of course etrailer. Was very impressed with etrailer's outreach and the quick shipping and delivery.
Still works like a charm a year later. And was fairly easy to install. No more squat when pulling a trailer!
The Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs (Rear - AL60786) to fit my 2015 Toyota Sequoia (8 passenger vehicle) were purchased specifically for a lengthy 6 day trip with my Wife's two brothers and their spouses. This also included a roof carry-all and a hitch receiver Carry-all box to accommodate all our luggage. So, the bottom line the "AirLift Helper Springs worked!
2010 Toyota Sequoia Limited, item installed as described. Haven't used them with trailer yet. But install was straight forward and product seems solid so far.
So easy to install , I just add air before I tow my travel trailer and believe me when I say that it makes a serious difference less sag and more control when driving down the highway especially on windy days . I have one line per bag and if its lower on one side I just adjust the air . I recommend using the bags .
One of them popped after a month

You mentioned that one of the air bags popped after a month. I did not see that you had reached out to us and so I wanted to know if you had reached out to the manufacturer? The air bags do have a lifetime warranty against defect.
1st drive with 6 people in my suv , pulling 16 ft box trailer with 4 motorcycles worked out great! Bags worked as advertised. Back end of my Sequoia stayed level. Ran about 30 lbs, i think i could run 20-25 and be fine. as long as this set up lasts , it's a total win
Fit well, but not that easy to install without a lift (was able to use a friend's) to access and spread the coil springs apart, insert the bags, route the tubing and secure the tubing clamps. Cable ties too short for securing to some locations, so have some long (over 10") ties available. Went with single fill valve and had no problems with leveling. Plan well ahead before cutting the tubing, because there is little to spare (not enough for separate fill valves on a Toyota Sequoia). Well worth the price - made a huge difference when towing a heavy load or with a near maximum tongue weight.

Continues to perform well, no problems, but you do need to pay attention to minimum air pressure with change of seasons. Well worth the price, especially with heavy tongue weight on trailer and rear of vehicle packed to the max, like with 5 five gallon water jugs plus other equipment for a remote camping trip.
I took product to shop. They said they had to remove the springs..not true. I told them I watched YouTube and they don't remove springs. They said that's not the right way. I went home and lifted rear with floor jack. Read instructions that also said to fold and place in springs. Took 1 hour being very safe. Super easy. I put the inflator under rear wheel well. I towed 10000lbs trailer from l.a. to Savannah Georgia. Zero sagging or loss of air. Very smooth ride. Highly recommend for my Toyota sequoia.
Install was easier than I thought, The video was super helpful with great hints for installation. 1 year later they still are installed and working.

Installed myself and has been working great. It doesnt keep my Sequoia from sagging down totally but the bags are still holding pressure.
These airbags have been great. They were super quick and easy to install. They work great at reducing the sag of my 08 Sequoia when pulling my 16’x8’ enclosed trailer when loaded. Liked these so much I recommended them to a friend. Help install them on a Chevy Tahoe. Had them fully installed in under and hour.
MY SUV used to drop in the rear a lot when I loaded my travel trailer , with this product I can level it out. Very easy to install Love AIR LIFT 1000 would recommend to anyone.
Easy to install. Two things you have to be careful about with the air lines which are very soft and ply-able: 1) being sure the air line goes straight up out of the coil spring header so it doesn't get crushed, and 2) avoiding putting kinks in the black air lines as you zip-tie them onto the frame of the vehicle.
The air lift bladders are prone to leakage. I have had 2 that began leaking and had to be replaced.
Always easy transaction, great customer service and fast shipping!!
I added this kit to my 2005 Chevy Tahoe Z71 last year (2023). This kit was exactly what I needed to compliment my already installed, upgraded Bilstein shocks to help me tow a Camaro on a car hauler trailer from Colorado to Florida. I kept the bags inflated to 30-35psi the entire trip. I experienced no bag leakage, sag, sway, or bounce while towing. After the haul to Florida, I have kept the bags/kit in place with the bags regularly kept at 5-10psi. This has stiffened up the rear end nicely (not too much) as a daily driver hauling kids, sports equipment, tools, etc. without any issues. Intial install took about 2 hours as the most difficult part was feeding each bag through/inside the rear coil springs and making sure of no pinch points on the bags. I would recommend this kit as the materials, instructions and support from etrailer with videos, pics, and reviews (if needed), are top notch! Thank you etrailer!
They work great. I’ve used them to align my boat, a utility trailer and the wheelchair carrier for my wife. Has improved the ride and gas mileage by making the combinations more aero Dynamic. I would purchase again and recommend them to others
Product arrived promptly. Very simple idea, but absolutely difficult as H&¿¿to install. Trying to squeeze the folded air bag between the coil Springs was an absolute nightmare. Maybe some springs on some vehicles have a larger spacing between the coil,but a 2019 Kia Sorento does not. It took almost 6hrs to install both sides. One trick that did help was to use a little silicone spray on the air bag where it was jammed into the coil spring. This helped make the bag slippery so it passed between the coil spring. Just don't get it all over the air bag or it will be too slippery to hold onto as you push it into place. The hose clamps are really a poor design, awkward to squeeze with pliers as you position them into place. So far bags appear to be holding air pressure. Time will tell has to how durable and dependable they will be.I installed them to assist with towing my camper and help reduce the squatting when towing.
