Here's what they look like once they're installed. As you can see, they're going to fit inside your coil spring. These are going to help support your loads up to 500 pounds, but it's not going to increase the load capacity of your vehicle so you want to make sure you want to still stay within your manufacture's specifications for what your vehicle's able to haul. Going to have one hole to drill. It's going to be through where jounce bumper originally mounted to allow our air line to come out. The bag is going to squeeze in between your springs, and you'll just run your lines to the back of your vehicle. You'll have separate airing ports so if you have a vehicle sling to one side with your load on it, you can have it up on that one side and level your vehicle out, therefore improving your handling and your ride.

These air springs provide stability while driving and reduce strain on your vehicle suspension. Let's go ahead and go through the test course with some weight, the alternating bumps show that our new airbags really give us good controlled response.

First thing we're going to in the installation of our new airbag, our air helper spring, is going to be to raise up the vehicle so that way the rear suspension hangs freely. Now to give yourself a little bit of more play, in between the coils up here we're going to undo the shock with a three quarter inch bolt located there. Now for safety if you have the vehicle raised up off the ground like we do, we're going to place a jack stand underneath here to assist us in lifting it and lowering it to remove that shock. more
