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.

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.

I ordered this set of bags because my 2019 ram 1500 classic does not have leaf springs. I regularly haul 2000lbs in my bed now and I have not had 1 issue!! I will definitely buy more!!
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
by: Arthur 04/03/2024
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.

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: Michael04/18/2024
Easy install but don't read the directions. They're not right. Had to go to the manufacturer website and watch the tutorial.
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.
by: Max 01/11/2024
Fast service every time I deal with Etrailer. Seems like a quality product.

Arrived in three days. Everything was exactly as they advertised. Would definitely recommend.
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
Easy to install works very well just need a little extra support when towing heavy loads. 12/2019 1200 mile trip 2019 ram. 1500 1000 pounds in the bed and towed 7000 pound trailer no problems.

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.
by: Andrew 08/28/2023
Could not install as directed, had to remove coil springs.
by: Galen02/28/2020
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.

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.

- Comparing Rear Suspension Enhancement Options for a 2017 Ram 1500I do have some suspension enhancement options for a 2017 Ram 1500 but as this truck uses rear coil springs, they are not typically what you would see on other trucks such as an add-a-leaf on a Silverado 1500 or F-150. I recommend either the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs part # AL60818HD or the SuperCoils Custom Suspension Coils part # SSC-50. The correct choice really comes down to how much you'll be using the truck for towing. If you're towing every week...
view full answer... - Comparing Firestone and Air Lift Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs on 2018 Ram 1500The biggest difference between the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4185 and Air Lift 1000HD Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60818HD is the capacity of the Air Lift. The Air Lift helper springs have a 2,100 lb load-leveling capacity compared to the 1,000 lb capacity of the Firestone springs which gives you more leeway when towing. The higher capacity of the Air Lift, along with the lifetime warranty they come with, are why I recommend them over the option from Firestone...

- Sumosprings Suspension Enhancement for 2015 Ram 1500 4x4 with Aftermarket Air Springs In CoilsThe SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-307-47 for your 2015 Ram 1500 4x4 will give you 1,500 lbs load support at 50% compression as they offer progressive load support. 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...
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...
view full answer... - Air Lift 5000 vs 1000HD Air Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Ram 1500 ClassicThe air spring suspension enhancement kits we offer can't give you more towing capacity than what the manufacturer listed for the vehicle but they can help you tow within that capacity in a safer and more level way by providing additional suspension support. So with that in mind we have the part # AL57365 that you referenced that has the ability to provide up to 5,000 lbs of additional support and we have the coil spring style kit part # AL60818HD which can provide up to 2,100 lbs of support....
view full answer... - Timbren Suspension Enhancement System Recommendation For 2013 Ram 1500The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement that you need for the 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDRTT1500. The Timbrens are great at combating rear sag in the truck while towing because they provide the extra support that the suspension needs to handle a heavier load. They are a great option if the Ram is not your daily driver but if you are planning on driving the truck without the travel trailer attached, I recommend a suspension enhancement...
view full answer... - Comparing Timbrens and Air Lift Springs for a 2019 Ram 1500The big deciding factor in comparing these popular suspension enhancement options is usually ride quality and adjustability since both are simple to install. 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...

What we need you to measure is 1) the inside diameter of those aftermarket springs and 2) the inside height within the coils with the unloaded vehicle at rest on level ground. These dimensions will tell them if there is ample space for...

These air springs feature a load-leveling capacity of up to 2,100 pounds which should be plenty to help bring the rear of your Ram back up with the golf cart loaded, but unlike with the jounce-style springs of the discontinued AirCell , your ride quality when empty won't...
view full answer... - Air Lift or SumoSpring Kit for 2017 Ram 1500The advantage of the SumoSprings Solo part # SSR-307-47 has is that the install is easy, they are very low maintenance, and provide a comfortable support. Air bags like the Air Lift # AL60818HD require a lot more maintenance, a more difficult install, but they do offer infinitely adjustable support. I really like the SumoSprings so that would be what I would go with.
view full answer... - Will The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs Survive Sub Zero Temps on 2012 Ram 1500? So I believe the main issue people have had is when the Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs # AL60818HD are cold is just like with your vehicle tires. 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 good news is the air springs themselves do have a lifetime warranty so as long as you are maintaining proper air pressure if something should happen...
view full answer... - Is Install of Air Lift Kit # AL60818HD and # AL60818 the SameThe install for the two kits you mentioned part # AL60818HD and # AL60818 is the exact same. The only difference between the two kits is the capacity of the bags. The HD kit has a capacity of up to 2,100 lbs and the other up to 1,000 lbs. The install would be the exact same as the install video you mentioned which I attached to this page as well.

This coil helper spring kit fits both 2WD and 4WD trucks and provides up to 2100-lbs of rear-axle load leveling support for your cargo application. There are lighter-duty kits like # AL60818 (rated for 1000-lbs) and heavier-duty kits like # AL88365 (rated for 5000-lbs) but the 1000HD kit # AL60818HD will be right in the sweet spot for your cargo hauling needs.

I recommend Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs - Rear part # AL60818HD for improving the rear sag in the Ram. These air helper springs will fit into the coil springs of the suspension and support them to eliminate the sag and sway that you may experience when towing a heavier load. They do not affect the ride quality as much...
view full answer... - Differences Between Air Lift 1000 and 1000HD Coil Helper Springs for 2016 Ram 1500The difference between the two is how much weight they can support. The Air Lift 1000 # AL60818 can support 1000 lbs, while the # AL60818HD can support 2100 lbs. Going with the higher rated option, # AL60818HD is recommended. Because the system is very adjustable according to how much air pressure is added to the system, there's nothing wrong with going with a little overkill. I've linked to product description and install videos.

The kit I have found has a spacer that it placed under the top spring hanger. If this is the case for you, you won't need to add another spacer to install the Air Lift 1000 # AL60818HD. If you did install the kit yourself and or know the specific lift kit you installed, let me know and I can look more into this.

Instead, I recommend using the Air Lift 1000HD Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs # AL60818HD which will fit inside your coil springs to improve your truck's handling and stability.

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.
