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.Fast delivery, excellent installation instructions, works terrific on my 2021 Jeep Gladiator Diesel WILLYS edition.
I’ve been using Air Lift products on all my trucks for many years. I have been very satisfied and the system has never failed me. Great product.
I buy a lot of jeep parts. These air bags are among the least expensive but made a huge difference! Delivered very quickly as well! Highly recommend
This kit was super easy to install, and it has performed flawlessly. It exceeded my expectations. When I put a loaded trailer on my '21 Gladiator, it didn't squat,the ride was not as bouncy as I'd expected, and it was super easy to inflate and deflate. Highly recommend if you do ANY towing with a Gladiator!
They already crumbled and don’t work at all. We were shocked! Completely broken down on one side. We put them on our new gladiator. Complete junk!

The springs are covered by a lifetime warranty. I will have Air Lift reach out to you.
Put these on our 2020 Jeep Gladiator, to make the tow package useable. Really does well with the 8 speed variable transmission and over 7,650 capacity. That said it's still got a jeep suspension and is great for all the off-road fun Jeep is known for. We had a substantial V when pulling the camper till I installed the Air Lift System. All good and driving on a level plane.
The suspension on my jeep Gladiator Mojave is a dream come true, but when towing it sags with very little weight, I was looking for an option that would help with keeping my truck level but did not affect the awesome ride when not loaded, Airlift 1000 seemed to be the right choice and I was right! I had to toy around with the air preassure, 25 lbs when loaded, 8 lbs when not. If you are not loaded and keep the pressure high, the ride becomes super bouncy. But that is what that valve is for.... So far my truck is level when towing, and smooth riding when not (pressure lowered to 8 bs). and best of all it took me 40 minutes with a helper to make the full install. and for a xxx bucks??? seriously??!!! Thanks etrailer... ( I will post before and after pictures at a later time.)
This kit is well thought out and easy to install. Instructions go into detail and provide an excellent foundation to understand what's involved.
The examples for routing the air lines were helpful and the supplied hardware made it all fit seamlessly.
While I understand this product assumes a stock suspension coniguration, it would be great to make spacers available for lifted vehicles.
great product, installed in 1.5 hours, Etrailer expedited the product and the tracking was great. very good company to buy from. !
i have been putting these on my jeeps and it has made a great difference in the way they drive it is easy to install and dose the job you need
I found this a great addition to help with towing and maintain a good ride.
Arrived faster then expected
Thanks
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.
