Expert Reply:

The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs, part # AL60769, have a total capacity (put together) of 1000 pounds. They are not meant to be a suspension replacement, but more of an enhancement for your existing coil springs.

Keep in mind that these do not increase your vehicle's weight capacity. They are more for keeping your vehicle level and diminishing sway. I've linked to a video demonstration of this.
