2,000-lb Capacity. Level your vehicle when you're hauling a heavy load with these Ride Control air springs. The adjustable springs improve overall stability and ride quality, eliminate rear sag, and reduce strain on your factory suspension.

Specs:
Ride Control gives the suspension system on your light-to-medium-duty truck, van, or SUV unrivaled support. With these air springs installed, you'll experience the same comfortable, smooth, and safe ride that you're used to enjoying when you're not hauling. Plus, Ride Control reduces the strain that heavy loads can put on your vehicle, saving you money in potential repairs.
Everything on your vehicle suffers from the stress of hauling or towing heavy loads - your brakes, your tires, and your handling ability. Even your headlight aim can be thrown off. Without some kind of reinforcement for your factory suspension system, you could be putting the life expectancy of your vehicle at risk. Air Lift's adjustable air spring kit, Ride Control, gives your suspension the extra support it needs when you are carrying heavy cargo. By providing equal load distribution, Ride Control lessens the stress that your truck has to endure.
Ride Control's air bags are adjustable from 5 to 100 psi, so you can get the perfect amount of support for any size load. And the springs can be inflated independently of one another for front-to-rear and side-to-side leveling. The system's also easy to install and even easier to maintain.
Ride Control 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.
An exclusive alignment tool is included with your Ride Control kit. This tool allows you to install each air spring so that it is centered perfectly between your vehicle's leaf spring and frame. This helps to prevent damaged caused by the spring rubbing against underbed components, ensuring lasting suspension support.
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.
These adjustable air springs come with a lifetime warranty with no mileage restrictions. In addition, Air Lift is so sure that you will benefit from their air spring suspension system that they offer a 60-day satisfaction guarantee. Install and use Ride Control 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. Now that's confidence.

2019 ZR 2- I bought these air bags when I replaced the rear shocks 50K miles. I sometimes pull a trailer and wanted a little better ride. WOW! I wish I had installed these when I bought the truck. Total game changer.
The AirRide air springs work great. Maintains the ride of my GMC Canyon when towing my RV.
Install these on my 2015 Chevy Colorado. I pull a fairly big travel trailer and although it's no problem pulling it I had noticed that over the last couple of years the rear of the truck was gradually sagging more. The AirLift fixed it right up.
The ride now inspires more confidence and I definitely have more control over the whole rig.
Installation was fairly easy. I'm pretty handy but quite green when it comes to vehicles so I would say it's accessible to anyone with a handy thumb. I even managed to install them without removing the wheels. It took a bit longer and required more up and down with the car jack but since I did it a couple of hours at a time over a couple of days it allowed me to still drive during the installation process.
I'm am a huge fan and would recommend it to anyone.
I ran this Air Lifters a 2015 Chevy Colorado and loved them. That in particular I had a 2 inch leveler on the front and the Air Lift on the rear kept the truck at the right height when a load was being pulled. I also ran 15-20 pounds in them on that daily and the ride was noticeably better.
Now fast forward to present time I have a 2023 Chevy Colorado and just finished the install today. Easy installation and the same quality as the last set. There is no reason not to run these on a truck in my opinion. The overall ride improvement is noticeable.
etrailer has always been great! Thank y ou.
Good instruction easy to install all hardware included fit great can’t wait to drop the trailer on her and try them
These were perfect. I needed some extra suspension due to towing my max capability. (6400lb gross wt 24 foot trailer with a 2015 Chevy Colorado LT 4wd) The truck had too much "bounce" on it every Time when hit a hole in the road even with equalization bars. But these air bags smoothed the ride out and help with equalization. Installation was a breeze. Did it myself in 2 hours with 0 problems. Kit comes with all you need minus the compressor assembly. I used Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Hand-Held Remote - Single Path Item # AL25870. (Eliminates need for cab wiring And works great) . All in all, Great product, Great price, easy installation and no problems.
I’m sure it’s a fine product but despite the fact that the website says “no drill installation” it required drilling the frame of the truck which was something I was not willing to do. Customer service at etrailer was awesome. They acknowledged the error, arranged a return free of charge and assisted me with finding another manufacturer’s product and contacting them directly to verify a no drill installation. Excellent job with the customer service. Product itself, not so much.
Installation on a chevy colorado went smoothly. The video on the etrailer web site was very helpfull. The air levelers removed 90% of the trailer bounce I was experiencing with out them.
I bough these about a year ago for my 2015 Chevy Colorado and they work great. Install was easy. I would recommend purchasing an onboard compressor to fill them and adjust on the fly.
These springs have reduced body roll tremendously ( especially turning in and out of service stations) and have actually made the ride smoother. 9,000 miles so far so good
Fast dependable service
Happy with everything we have purchased
Fairly easy to install, good price
great company to work with, they sent me a new air bag when mine had a leak and the shipping was fast. the install was a little difficult, had to drill holes in the frame. i have the silverado 1500 classic 07 so most aftermarket parts need some modifications anyways. i’m now able to haul comfortably without “trailer squat”
Pretty decent instructions,did it in my garage,basic tools to install (for me anyway). Took me about 1.5 hours to do the first side (learning curve), half that to do the other. Best $300 I have spent on a suspension mod - if you're struggling with hitch height, weight transfer/anti-sway devices or leveling issues, this is THE fix - add air as needed, and head out!
Product was as advertised, and the install went smoothly. Toyota Tacomas are infamous for sagging rear ends, and these air springs handle that well. For now I can only comment on installation, as I've yet to load the truck with a heavy trailer. All parts can be mounted comfortably by jacking up the rear axle and removing a wheel. I didn't have any alignment troubles, and the instructions were specific to these parts and my truck. Buyers should be aware that air springs require regular checks to make sure they are inflated to a minimum pressure. I can easily reach in and squeeze the spring to check inflation, and it's faster than pulling out a pressure gage.
The airbags are working great for me! They defiantly make the ride of the truck a lot smoother. However, I did have one bag pop on me due to having the psi at 80 and then driving up a very uneven driveway with some momentum.. I ordered a new one and replaced it no problem.
installed in hotel parking lot skeptical at first(thought the airbag would be thicker but its not a semi truck) would suggest a jackstand so you can lower spring to get room for bag works nice
Every peice was there, directions were easy to follow.I watched the installation video 2 times really helps when you use the manual. Just installed today haven't tested yet but it's not a wimpy kit fit my truck perfect aired up nice non drilling no surprises, very happy with the purchase.
The AirLift system we talked about a couple weeks ago was sent to my daughter, Kristi's house. I installed it yesterday. I'm on the road, which isn't the best place to do the installation. My father in law didn't have any socket wrenches so I started with a couple 9/16 open end wrenches. These don't work for everything. I went to the local hardware store and bought what I needed. The driver side went on much easier. The hardest bolt was the top one requiring the socket wrench to hold the nut inside the frame. I had to feel for the nut since it was hidden next to an existing frame bolt. I was able to simply jack the back of the truck up at the hitch to gain clearance. I didn't have to remove the wheels. The nylon lock nut was fun to tighten. AirLift should have supplied a simple wrench for this. I found a vice grip needle nose plier worked well enough.
Here are three photos. First is passenger side, second tries to show where top nut goes, third is drivers side. I have then filled to 28psi and will check them this morning.
Install was simple. Took me 2 1/2 hours by myself, plus my buddy 1 hour to weld on a nice bracket for the air valves on the back bumper (see pics). Instructions were confusing and nomenclature did not match parts, but I eventually got it figured out. There are also two spots in the instructions that tell you not to tighten certain nuts down so that you can adjust the bags later, but it never tells you when or how to tighten them later.
I recommend you jack up the rear axle and remove the rear tires so you have plenty of room to move around and install this.
System looks really nice on the pickup, and you can hardly tell there's anything on there unless you are looking closely. Even while almost empty, the bags push the rear of the pickup up a little bit which looks cool. And it seems to ride smoother now too. I have not tried it with pulling cargo or a trailer yet, and will update this review if I don't notice anything good.
I installed the airlift support this afternoon. I had removed Timbren
Shocks which are just hard rubber shocks that mount to the factory spring
bumper support. The airlift required drilling out the rivets and removing
this OEM support.
Here are pictures of the left and right units installed on my truck. I
already have an Air Lift pump and rear bags on the rear of my truck.
When I put my plow on then I will see how well these perform and any sag or
how much lift. I have a 7"-6" Western Pro Plow for my 1987 GMC V-2500 4x4.
As a note, I was missing hardware from that hardware package. I had to look
through my own stock in order to complete the install. If it is at all
possible, I would be most appreciative if you could get AirLift to provide a
hardware package that was complete.
I also install the mirrors on my GMC. I have my 102" wide 20 foot cargo
trailer connected to my truck and will be using that in a few days. I am
hoping they will give me a better rear vision of the sides of my trailer.
When I get it on the road, I will have a better idea on what to comment.
When I do, I will send pictures. I don't plan on keeping them on the truck
all the time, just when I used the cargo trailer.
