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 1000HD adjustable air springs have 2,100 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 1000HD is a breeze to install with standard tools and comes with an easy-to-follow instruction manual.
AirLift 1000HD 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 1000HD 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.

2,100-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.by: Alvin 05/05/2023
I could NOT get the springs folded like a hot dog bun to install per the installation instructions. I had to physically remove the coil springs from my truck and work the air springs in from the top. Otherwise, the installation went per the instructions. Waiting now for my first road trip with the RV.

this was the simplest answer and have had no issues with this air bag set up installed with lowering kit.one year ago needed support for towing my boat 5000 lbs.
by: Hubert 04/16/2024
Recently installed, one test drive unloaded, one with my travel trailer. I am pleased so far. E-Trailer was awesome though purchase, shipping and customer service. I would like to see better quality clamps for the air lines and longer and heavier zip ties.

Could not install air bags without taking coil springs out. They didn't go in very easy then. Now trying to find air leak. Should have a better system than just pushing an airline on a fitting and using a cheap sporting clamp. Was not able to find leak with soapy water. Hopefully I can find it and enjoy using them

Easy install but don't read the directions. They're not right. Had to go to the manufacturer website and watch the tutorial.

2019 RAM 1500 Classic. Had no problem getting the bags in the springs. If you have the tools just take the extra time to lift the frame as high as you can on jack stands. Support the rear end with the jack. Remove the tires, and fender wells. Unbolt the shocks, rear sway bar and brake line. Lower the jacks till the springs come out. Spray the bags with soapy water, and slide them in. Haven’t pulled my camper yet, but have loaded the back up and didn’t get any sag at 20psi. Happy so far. Not so bouncy.

Great Product. Installed on my Ram 1500 and really helped my ride when towing. Smooth and firm ride towing and not towing. Installation was smooth. If not sure how to install go to U-tube to find installation instructions and pictures. Highly recommend. Love E-Trailer Products
by: Timothy 02/10/2024
I've been driving my truck for a couple of weeks now after installing the Air Lift and immediately noticed the difference in the drive. I haul heavy loads in my trailer, including my bobcat. I'll definitely be ordering another pair for my other truck.

2019 Ram 1500 Classic
Installed these and a gooseneck hitch in my truck at the same time. It’s a 1/2 ton pickup so I wanted to get rid of the sag from weight on trailers. Wish I knew about these when I had a camper! Bags do what they are supposed to and the install was pretty simple. I did add some rubber grommets and wire loom just to keep the air line from chaffing where I ran it through some of the rails. I hooked to a gooseneck and put some weight on it once I was done and the 5-50 PSI spectrum seems like it is going to be more than enough for the things I haul. Would definitely recommend these to anyone who pulls any kind of trailer frequently.

You have to have a hoist take out the wheel. Well, it’ll make you work.
by: Lynne07/15/2023
They work great. They don't leak air even when I only have them at 5 psi for normal driving. When my half ton Dodge Ram is fully loaded and towing our camper, I can pump them up to 50 psi and make the truck handle like a one ton!
by: Tim L12/06/2020

This air lift 1000hd was just what we needed for our 2021 Ram pick up as we now pull a travel trailer. This air lift does not require any alterations to your vehicle. We bought a different air lift from another company & realized we would have to cut off the bump stops so we sent it back. Would recommend this to everyone.

2017 Dodge Ram Pickup
A little bit of buyers remorse, Not overly impressed, in hindsight I should have got one of the better airbag systems. This particular set up with the bag inside the spring doesn’t “lift” the rear end to correct squat after a trailers Tongue weight is added, but it will stiffin the springs to only reduce squat - it must be set prior to imposing a load- on my 2017 Ram 1500. My trailer tongue weight it’s about 700 pounds
Install tip: The zip tie trick some guys are using online videos is legit and works

My original review is still valid. They do seam to be holding up - keep in mind, we only need to use them about once a month. Also, I was able to install the pump and intake filter in well protected spots so they don’t get much undercarriage abuse.
by: Rob 11/15/2022
Very easy install. Works perfectly to level out the truck while towing a 7.5x27. The bags hold air, never dropping air pressure, not even a little. Ride quality is barely affected from stock ride. Recommended by a friend who also used them and I’d recommend them too.

Great air lift system for my 2015 Ram 1500. Improved towing load leveling and ride. Had these on a previous vehicle years ago and they worked great then too. I would recommend to anyone wanting to improve ride and handling when heavily loaded.

This product has leveled my 2014 Ram 1500 under any load from my camper to my pipe top trailer with farm equipment and even put 1500 pounds over the axel and it just sat level. I just keep a consistent 40 pounds in there and they work great!!

These air springs will reduce the strain on your Ram's suspension and you will be able to readjust your weight distribution system; just note that you will want to inflate the springs before adjusting your weight distribution.

- Recommended Air Compressor Kit For 2018 Ram 1500 W/ Air Lift AL60818HD Helper Springs InstalledTo go along with the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs # AL60818HD on your 2018 Ram 1500 I recommend going with the Firestone Air Command I # F2158. This air compressor kit allows you to adjust the air helper springs to match the load you are needing to support by using the switch in the analog gauge. I included a video of the # F2158 being installed for you to take a look at.

These springs have a 2,100 lbs load leveling capacity that will keep the rear end of your truck from sagging when towing a trailer or hauling a heavy load. I have attached a picture below that will show you what these air springs look like installed. I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command I item # F2097. This onboard compressor...

- Troubleshooting Vehicle Still Sagging With Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper SpringsAccording to Air Lift, spacers cannot be added to the # AL60818HD. In order to minimize any sag make sure you are pre-loading the air bags. Air should be added when the vehicle is unloaded so that they can properly expand within your coil springs. If you inflate the air bags with the vehicle loaded they will not be effective.
view full answer... - Recommendations For 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Rear Suspension Sag With Weight Distribution HitchThe Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA94-00-0800 is rated for a trailer tongue weight of 400-800lbs. I would use a scale like the etrailer Tongue Weight Scale # e99044 to ensure that your travel trailer does not exceed 800lbs of tongue weight when you have it loaded with all your gear. If you are below the 800lbs tongue weight you will simply need to adjust the angle of the hitch head to get more weight transfer through the bars on the front of your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic. You will do...

For the weight distribution, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control, part # EQ37120ET. It fits 2" hitches and can handle tongue weights between 800 and 1200 pounds. The sway control provides a controlled, even ride. I've linked to a video review of this system for you to look at.

We offer air springs that install into the factory coil springs such as the Air Lift # AL60818HD, but the hitch frame brackets would prevent you from installing a typical air spring set up like the Air Lift Load Lifter # AL57365.

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDRTT1500 will work for your truck but you will need to use spacers to account for your lift if it is a suspension lift and not a body lift.

view full answer... - Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Ram 1500 with Aftermarket Coil SpringsI do have an option for you but we can't confirm fit of the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs with aftermarket coil springs. Instead, for your 2018 Ram 1500 I recommend Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR1500DQ which do a great job of providing support while towing or hauling and they won't be affected by the aftermarket coil springs. They are also easy to install and don't require upkeep.

The Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs part # AL60818HD will provide a smoother, less stiff ride experience for all in the tow vehicle and for that reason it is my recommendation. That ride quality counts for a lot on long trips to your favorite camping locale as well as in day to day use. The only trade off to consider...

It sounds like you already have the aftermarket air springs like # AL60818 or Firestone # F4185 rated for 1,000 lbs load leveling capacity. If this is the case, then I recommend replacing them with # AL60818HD rated for 2,100 lbs and giving you the same connections but higher capacity. You can...

As the temperature gets colder your tires pressure drops and if the air springs have less than the minimum 5psi which is likely happening the bags are at a greater risk of damage.

The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs # AL60828HD are going to fit the 2019-2022 Ram 1500(excluding TRX).

While we haven't confirmed the fit of either in your vehicle from Air Lift I'm glad you were able to install it without issue. I don't foresee you needing the additional weight capacity of the HD since your Durango is a lighter duty vehicle but the HD will fit exactly like the non-HD model.

There really isn't a downside to going with the higher rated kit aside from a slight price difference. But the extra support will be nice to have.

So, if you have the 1500 Classic then you'll want the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60818HD, and if you don't, then you'd want the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60828HD.

The springs are rated for 50 psi. I inflate mine to 45 psi when I tow my RV. My half ton truck will still squat a little, but nothing like before. Overall, I’m satisfied with the performance of these springs.
