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.

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.Excellent customer service and product arrived fast and performed as expected. I use my Jeep for hunting and it is usually weighted down with gear and these air springs hit the spot to boost the stiffness on the rear. Highly recommend to others and I will be a returning customer.
After a year of use these bags still work perfectly! I would highly recommend these if you’re weighing down a vehicle or pulling a trailer with a decent amount of tongue weight. Work great to level out under load.
Installed on '15 Jeep JKU. Install these on a warm day - it will make the installation easier. The hardest part was installing the air tube onto the barbed fittings. Patience will prevail. Installed the schraeder valve on the top of the license plate housing - had to do a bit of trimming inside the housing. So far so good, no leaks.
Worked well in my stock Jeep Wrangler coils. Helped maintain level when towing or adding weight to Jeep.
I offroad and they held up nicely!

I changed rear coils but still refer these to others to meet their needs.
Thus far it has performed as expected and is useful. The instructions, in particular as to the placement of the heat shields is a little vague.
Easy install on my 2017 Jeep Wrangler JK. Running close to the maximum tongue weight I felt better with the extra support of the Airlift spring helpers. They keep the vehicle level so your headlights aren't blinding oncoming traffic, along with taking the extra load off your coil springs. The vehicles ride and handling and braking were improved.
I Just installed these and used them on a short 200 mile trip so will see how they hold up over time. I would recommend these to anyone who needs the extra support of stock springs.
Great product! The only issue I had was that I bought the kit for a stock height Jeep and they were a little short for my lifted coils. Still stiffened the rear and eliminated the sag even with the fitment issues. I would recommend these for anyone with coil springs wanting to tow or haul anything heavy.
I haven't installed the air bags yet, but, as for doing business with eTrailer.com, as always it is very easy and satisfying. I love this company. Always helpful and response time is very good.
I will be buying again - and - when the bags are installed I will update this posting with the results.
Everything arrived as expected and on time. Installation was easy and straightforward. Afterwards, the rear-end of Jeep stopped sagging.
Everything good after one year
One bag blew out after 10 months. Easy to install.

Customer Service will reach out to you.
easy install
Love it
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.
Reviewing the Air Lift 1000 kit 60860 for Kia/Hyundai SUV
Installed in a 2017 KIA Sorento LX. Like many other reviews claim, this was not easy to install although the factory video makes it look so, so simple. I followed the instructions for the first bag, it took me 2 and ½ hours to get it inside the spring coil. I used an exacto knife for cutting the hole, which worked very well. Not having a spoon type tire iron, I eventually settled on the handle of a large crescent wrench. After inserting the bag ½ way in, using the wrench to push on the part already in the spring brought the rest of the bag further in. Eventually I finally got the first bag inserted although it was twisted. Inflating the bag straightened it out. Starting on the second bag, I noticed it was much more pliable. It had been sitting in the Florida sun for the past 2 ½ hours. I folded it down as instructed, then folded it in ½ lengthwise and used zip ties to secure it. After sitting in the hot sun for another hour while I hydrated, it only took me 10 minutes to get the 2nd bag inserted and needed no other tools to assist. Carefully snipped the zip ties off and it popped into place. Running the air lines was simple enough. The hose clamps are very fragile, be patient, be careful or they will break.
Overall I am quite pleased with the performance of the bags. They make a big difference in how the KIA rides when towing. They hold pressure and are easy to inflate & deflate. I use a bicycle tire pump as I have no need to modify the pressure in route and didn’t see the need to spend the money on a remote control inflation system.
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
Package arrived damaged,no parts missing or damaged, can't comment on product not installed at this time.

A year later and all is well. We use our 4 door Wrangler as a tow vehicle for a small travel trailer and these are just the ticket for fine tuning the ride height of the combo. Combined with a load leveling/anti sway hitch there have been no problems with towing. Lowering the air to minimum when not towing returns the ride to normal. No leaks or problems at all.
