Toyota Sienna installation went well, April 24, 2009
By Suomalinen from Florida

Pros: Easy to install, reasonably priced
Cons: Must crawl under vehicle

"My wife and I just installed the Air Lift 1000's on our 2006 Toyota Sienna (rear.) We were able to push the air cylinders in between the lower coils without removing them or loosening the shocks. The back of the van was lifted with a floor jack to the maximum height without lifting the tires off the floor. Jack stands were used as a safety precaution before we crawled underneath.

It takes a fair amount of force to slide the air hoses onto the barbed fittings. A bit of soap made it much easier to slide them on. Upon completion we inflated the air cylinders to 20lbs. No leaks! The back of the van immediately rose almost 2 inches. That is exactly what we were hoping for in order to increase ground clearance for a Class III trailer hitch.

Total time to complete this project was three hours including coffee breaks. The instructions were clear and helpful. Shipping was prompt. We are very pleased with this product so far."

Moderately Happy, December 30, 2008
By Barton from Salt Lake City, UT.

Pros: It is a good idea
Cons: Didn't do as much as what advert lead me to believe

"It took some effort to install it, but I got there. But I am disappointed in performance. Advert made me believe, esp from the picture that it would fill up the entire spring and lift my vehicle. It doesn't fill up the spring and it lifts the vehicle height by about two inches is all. How it works (something they didn't tell me) is it; You undo all the linkage to the rearend and drop the axle, this allows the spring to fully extend to its greatest length. Then, the fill up the air bag. This expands the bag and locks in the "full length" of the spring so that when you put the axle and vehicle back together that part of the spring that the bag is expanded upon stays expanded instead of compressing. This is how it gets its height. Prob is that bag slips inside the spring and eventually you do loose some of the height you gained. I'm moderately happy but still looking for something better to lift my vehicle (Expedition)."

Pros: easy to install, work great
Cons: Installation instructions, involved more than was nessecary to do the job

"I found that it was easier to suck out the air and stuff the bags between the springs and position them than to go through the job of dropping the rear axle to get them between the springs. installation time my way 20min. their way 2 hrs.+. I like my better. it was easy. They work great, good lift."

Adjustable Air Springs, June 29, 2008
By camper2006 from Oak Lawn, IL

Ease of Use/Installation:		4 out of 5
Features:		5 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

Pros: Improves ride and easy to install

"2006 Chevy Malibu LT - The Air Springs installed easily. Routing the air tube was also easy. They improved the ride with and with out a trailer. With a pop up camper in tow and 15psi, the air springs even helped absorb the the push and pull of the trailer. They helped make a 800 mile trip alot more enjoyable."

My Sienna Van is smooth now, June 12, 2008
By BobRacquetMan from Birmingham, Alabama

Ease of Use/Installation:		4 out of 5
Features:		4 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

"This did just what I wanted. With about 20psi it raised the rear end of the van a couple of inches so that I no longer scrape on every little bump. The ride is much smoother than before and the handling is great. When I pull my 5' x 8' cargo trailer, I can just add a bit of air to counter the trailer weight and it drives like a dream.
I also bought the on-board compressor, but after getting it I found that installation was more complicated than I wanted to fool with. The manual fill on this product is very simple and easy. I would highly recommend it!"

2001 Nissan Pathfinder rear springs, June 6, 2008
By Pathy from Columbus, OH

Ease of Use/Installation:		5 out of 5
Features:		4 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

Pros: Timely shipping, quality materials, ease of use
Cons: Instructions could be a little clearer

"I installed an Air Lift kit on the rear of my 2001 Pathfinder as they have a habit of bottoming out with even a slight load. The instructions said to remove the springs. After jacking up the frame and seeing how much the springs extended, I skipped removing them and just slipped the Air Lift bags between the coils. Installing the bags, hoses and valves took a little over an hour and couldn't have been easier. I now pull my boat with a tongue weight of about 150lbs, cargo and people with no problems at all. When my suv is empty, I just deflate the bags through the single valve. What a great product!"

Excellent upgrade for Jeep Grand Cherokee ride, May 31, 2008
By slammah from Bayville, NJ

Ease of Use/Installation:		3 out of 5
Features:		5 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

Pros: stops bouncy sway common for Grand Cherokee
Cons: installation for do it yourself person

"This is excellent upgrade to the soft spring ride and sway that is common for Jeep Grand Cherokee in the '99-04 range.
The air lift stiffens the ride and increases payload. Installation is the only thing that us do it yourself kinds will have some trouble. You will need to raise the rear of the vehicle with your floor jack, remove the rear wheels, put a jack stand on each side of the uni-body frame where the indicators are and lower the vehicle so the rear hangs down extending the springs. Using a spring compression tool is the best to take the springs out. I used a two piece spring compression, strut tool. The instructions that come with the kit are excellent to follow. The clamps that come with the heat shield are too big, so you will need ones that work on a 2" - 3" diameter exhaust pipe. Overall this is a great product and you can't beat the price."

Ease of Use/Installation:		5 out of 5
Features:		5 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

Pros: Very easy install. Used silicone lube to allow easy slide into coil while still on car.
Cons: Instructions should be more specific to application. Securing protective pad cou

"Procedure could be better I.D'd. Product is well made. I first bought Air Lift for my 60 Biscayne. They were live rubber which rotted from atmosphere. Polyurethane is much tougher. Instruction could be more specific. Air Lift tech support is excellent. Worth the call. JcWhitney customer service is also outstanding. I highly recomment both.Securing protective pad should be suggested. I used silicon seal/adhesive (RTV silicone).My 86 Grand Marquis instructions were inaccurate, in my opinion. Tech support very helpful, Thanks"

1989 Jeep Cherokee installation, January 10, 2008
By JeepPlowman from Eastampton, NJ

Ease of Use/Installation:		4 out of 5
Features:		5 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

Pros: Perfect fit!
Cons: One bolt head designed to be in contact with the bag.

"1989 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 installation on the front springs to carry the added weight of a snow plow. Since it was a 4X4, there were no control arms to lower, making it much easier to install. The instructions should have said to rent spring compressors and that would have made this easy job even easier! Then I could have left the shocks connected too. I added extra padding on the top of the bags to prevent rub through of the bolts on the bump stop washers. I think this should have been addressed (though it does have a lifetime warranty). Thanks for this great product!"

Ease of Use/Installation:		3 out of 5
Features:		5 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		5 out of 5

"An excellent addition to the Sienna for the heavy loads I carry and pull with this van.
The springs were a bit tough to install but once in place, and I added the compressor kit, they worked flawlessly!
I highly recommend to anyone on the fence about purchasing and installing this kit without sacraficing ride comfort when empty!
It will make a world of difference to the handling!
I give these a 5 out of 5!!"

More Instruction Needed, November 16, 2006
By Birkiebob from Wisconsin

Ease of Use/Installation:		3 out of 5
Features:		4 out of 5
Quality/Construction:		4 out of 5

"I've had these springs on another vehicle (Windstar Van) and they worked great, so they should be great on my Saturn View as well. The installation instructions for the Vue/Equinox need to add that the outer control arm bolt also needs to be removed, in addition to the shock bolt and sway bar bolt, in order to drop the control arm far enough to remove the coil spring! Also, after the jounce bumper was removed, the hole in the bottom spring seat had to be enlarged an "additional" 1/2-3/4" toward the outside, and 30 degrees toward the front, in order to allow space for the air stem to clear the seat. This required drilling two additional 1/2" holes and filing the edges between the drilled-out holes to make a triangular hole for clearance. All hose connections sealed well and the system holds air easily. I routed the airline through the small knock-out in the bottom of the drivers side cubby hole in the rear cargo area, then removed the jack cover and mounted the air valve toward the top/back side of the jack compartment. Very safe and convenient."

"I installed these as replacements on my GM chassis for a 1991 Motorhome - Because I couldn't get the old ones out, it caused more labor for install but is not because of product flaw - these were exact replacements that worked great - noticed the smooth ride right away."

"I inherrted my father's 1996 Buick Roadmaster. He had installed an air lift kit right after he bought the car new. Last year I took the car to a shop to have brakes and skocks replaced. Unknown to me, the shop took out the air lift bags because one side had a leak. I found out the air bags had been removed about a week later when I tried to pump them up to find the leak. I just took the car back to same shop a year later with the same problems. They eventually admitted that they had taken the air bags out and offered to replace the air bags at their cost which was $20 higher than JC Whitney's price. I ordered the air lift bags and installed them myself. The service from JC Whitney was easy, convenient, prompt, and the price was lower than the local price for a similar item. The air lift product I bought is actualy better than the one the shop wanted to install. My car now has a higher quality product for a lower price. What else could I ask for? JC Whitney really came through for me and I am happy to recommend them to friends and family."
