Ellen: Hey everyone, I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com. And today we're going to be taking a look at the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper springs. Now this kit is going to be for somebody who tows every once in a while. You just need something to kind of help lift the back end of your vehicle while you're towing, maybe something like a small pop-up camper, a load of gravel in the back of your truck, or some other kind of light duty work. This is going to be something that you just use occasionally. It's not meant for everyday towing or really heavy duty use.

So, again, if you're just going to be going for a trip for the weekend or going at once every summer, this is going to be a great option. The benefits that we get from this kit is that it does help us to lift the back end of our vehicle a little bit.It also helps to support those coil Springs in our vehicle. That way, whenever we're asking our vehicle to tow some weight, it's going to keep those Springs from failing prematurely. It doesn't allow you to carry any more weight than what your vehicle is rated for. So, keep that in mind, this doesn't increase the overall payload you get out of your towing vehicle, just helps you to lift and haul that weight more effectively.

So, that's something to keep in mind there. This is a universal kit. So, it's going to fit a lot of different vehicles. The easiest way to figure out if it's going to be a fit for your particular vehicle is to actually measure the coil Springs in your vehicle that you're trying to install it. You also want to make sure that your coil Springs don't have a shock in the middle or a jounce bumper.

If it does, then these are just not going to work. They're not going to fit in between there. So you'll have to try something else, maybe a static spring, like the Sumo spring or the Timbrens or another kind of a suspension system.But if that coil spring, doesn't have anything inside there. These are going to work out just fine. The bags themselves are going to be about five and a half inches tall.

So, from the bottom to the top, about five and a half inches there, and then the diameter is about seven. Excuse me, about three and seven-sixteenths of an inch. So, that's going to be the diameter there. So whenever you're measuring your coil spring, you want to make sure that the distance on the inside is between five and a half inches and six and a quarter.We do get a couple of spacers, so that helps you to fill that space there. And then this space in between the coils on the inside, that diameter needs to be about three and seven-eighths inch, as long as it's bigger than that by a little bit, this should work out pretty well. Comes with everything you see laid out here on the table. So we'll get some heat shields to help protect the bags from any kind of heat damaged from our exhaust. It also comes with some hose clamps. So you can get that wrapped around your exhaust. One set is a little bit bigger than the other. So even if you have a larger exhaust it should fit pretty well on there, just want to position it in a place where it's going to protect those bags from any kind of heat damage.Again, we have our two sets of spacers. So one is going to be a half inch thick. The other one is a quarter inch thick. So you can space those out to make sure that your bags are sitting in the right spot. Some zip ties quarter-inch airline, and then also all of our hardware to get that Schrader valve and stout installed so we can manually inflate those bags as needed. Also, you get a fun sticker, which is always nice to have.So all in all a pretty straightforward install. The easiest way to get the bags in place is to remove this little cap that comes with in a packaging, but hold onto it. And then if you flatten the bag out as much as possible, maybe even kind of rolling it up as much as you can to get all that air out, put that little cap back on. So it stays flat. That's going to make it easier to fish that inside of that coil spring, once it's in place, you can remove that cap. It's going to fill up with air and fill up that space. So, that's one trick to get that in place.Again, all in all I think this is going to be a nice kit to help alleviate a lot of those issues that we typically have a towing, things like a limited breaking force from that back end being lowered down. A lot of times it brings the front end up, so that can make your brakes not as quite as responsive as they should
