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.

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 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. Air Lift 1000 is a breeze to install with standard tools and comes with an easy-to-follow instruction manual.
Air Lift 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 Air Lift 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.

I have two sets of these installed on each of my vehicles. I regularly overload the vehicles on vacation with kayaks, camping gear, family and the big ol dog. These are great at keeping a heavy vehicle stable and can be run low for daily driving.
These things are great, our 2017 CR-V would sag in the back any time we were hauling a trailer, or even when we had a full car, now I can just throw a little air in the helper "springs" and it levels right back out, and I don't need to worry about bottoming the hitch out. I have hauled motorcycles on my motorcycle rack on the rear, as well as running a hitch carrier with no issues at all, nothing drags, the car drives normally still. Excellent add on for the CR-V.
Putting the bags in the Springs was a little bit of a pain in the butt However the results were amazing.
I really like how the manual was very specific to my vehicle and exactly how to install this stuff.
With this kit and only 30PSI I was able to carry almost 400 pounds of cargo and maintain normal ride height.
My trailer hitch has a 7 pin connector and I used the 2 bottom mounting screw holes for the shrader valves.
The lines that came with the air lift system were not sufficient to hold pressure. They kept breaking, and not just breaking, but having embolisms…. The only way I was able to get them to finally work, was to get some fuel lines and some fuel line clamps. I have a 2017 CRV and I needed something to help lift the rear end because I was using it for car camping but without the fuel line, they would not have worked.

Typically this is caused by the air lines not being cut squarely which allows them to leak where they attach to the air bags. To make cutting the air lines easy we have the hose cutter part # AL10530.
Now I can load my handicap buggy on the back of my car ramp without it being to heavy for my car. It really made the difference.the directions were easy to follow, and the whole job went pretty good. Thank you for your service.

Its ok but there could be improvements. The airbags are not tall enough. With them Installed and a trailer on I am still left with too low of a ride height and too stiff of a ride from having to max out the air pressure. I have had to install 2 inch spacers above the bags and reduce the pressure to keep a normal ride height and not have to inflate the bags to much.
