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.

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.



by:

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:

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.

2011 Dodge Ram Pickup

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

Dodge Ram Pickup

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.



by:

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



by:
2018 Dodge Ram Pickup

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:

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.

Mr. Robert was very knowledgeable about what I was looking for.He was very Professional about his Job.

2021 Ram 1500 Classic

Works well BUT... you need to remove the springs to put in the air bags!



by:
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:

Fast service every time I deal with Etrailer. Seems like a quality product.



by:

Great improvement, just remove the springs stuff them in and install plumbing

still working fine.wish i had onboard air



by:

Arrived in three days. Everything was exactly as they advertised. Would definitely recommend.



by:

You have to have a hoist take out the wheel. Well, it’ll make you work.



by:

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:

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.

Dodge Ram Pickup

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:
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

Galen

3/13/2021

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:

After a year and still working great!

Donald

Good



by:

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.



by:
2015 Dodge Ram Pickup

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.

As expected, no problems just a nice level ride. etrailer did a great job fulfilling my order and answered all my questions prior to purchase. Great experience.

2014 Dodge Ram Pickup

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!!

  • Best Load Leveling Kit for a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4
    There are several different types of leveling systems for your 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 but if you are looking for the best then you will want to go with a set of air bags because they let you adjust how much support/comfort that you need for any given load. That said, I saw that you have already purchased the Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs part # AL60818HD. These are not what I consider to be the best but will get the job done. The Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs don't...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Air Lift Suspension Enhancement System for 2017 Ram 1500
    Between the two Air Lift systems you mentioned in your question I recommend going with the Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs # AL60818HD as long as you don't have the factory Air Suspension system on your Ram. 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...

  • Differences Between Air Lift 1000 and 1000HD Coil Helper Springs for 2016 Ram 1500
    The 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.

  • Recommended Gooseneck Trailer Hitch for 2012 Ram 1500 Big Horn
    If you have the 6-1/2 foot bed with the Quad Cab or the 5-1/2 foot bed with the Crew Cab, I recommend the same hitch. It is the B&W Turnoverball Underbed Gooseneck Trailer Hitch w/ Custom Installation Kit - 30,000 lbs # BWGNRK1309. This is a confirmed fit for your truck and if you have the 6-1/2 foot bed without RamBox it also offers a 5th wheel slider compatibility for a clean bed.

  • Can Air Lift 1000HD Air Bags Be Used To Raise the Rear Ride Height To Level With the Higher Front?
    The Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs # AL60818HD are only designed to work with your existing suspension system and provide additional stability for heavy loads on your 2012 Ram 1500. The springs are not designed to raise your factory suspension for the stance that you are looking for. If you were to add air pressure to the springs without any weight on the rear suspension it would likely raise the suspension but you would notice a harsher ride. With the age of your Ram you...

As to the popularity of the # AL60818 over the # AL60818HD, it will actually have to do with the capacities as well.

    The 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.

    The 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.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2014 Ram 1500 Thats Smoother Ride than Timbren
    TImbrens provide great suspension support but they have a reputation as providing a rough ride quality. They'll have to come off if you want to improve the ride quality as adding more support won't help. The best solution would be to replace them with the Air Lift kit part # AL60818HD that you mentioned as this allows you to adjust how much support you have so that you can balance support and ride quality. Going with too much air pressure will give you a harsh ride quality too.

  • Troubleshooting Vehicle Still Sagging With Air Lift 1000 Heavy Duty Air Helper Springs
    According 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.

  • Comparing the Timbrens and AirLift Springs for a 2016 Ram 1500
    Your 2016 Ram 1500 is absolutely equipped to tow a 6,000 lb trailer. However, this vehicle has rear coil springs which tend to compress more so than trucks with rear leaf springs when a load is present. This means that the vehicle will be more prone to sagging/squatting while loaded/towing. In order to reduce the amount of sag/squat you receive while loaded/towing, I highly recommend using a set of suspension enhancements such as the Air Lift AirLift 1000HD Air Helper Springs part # AL60818HD....

Air bags like the Air Lift # AL60818HD require a lot more maintenance, a more difficult install, but they do offer infinitely adjustable support.

    The 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 also easy to install and don't require upkeep.
