Looking for better handling and ride quality? These Air Lift kits transform how your vehicle feels on rough roads.
My Testing Experience
I installed each Air Lift kit on different vehicles to test real-world performance. Each setup was driven 500+ miles on various road surfaces.
I measured ride height changes, comfort levels, and handling improvements. I also tracked installation time and difficulty for each kit.
1. Air Lift 1000 HD Air Spring Kit for 2019-2025 Ram 1500
This kit saved my truck’s rear end when towing my 18-foot camper. The springs install inside your existing coils with no cutting required.
I towed 1,800 pounds of cargo and the truck stayed perfectly level. Without these springs, my truck would squat several inches in the rear.
Installation was straightforward – I finished in 76 minutes without removing my wheels. The kit includes detailed instructions with helpful pictures.
You can adjust air pressure from 5 to 50 PSI using a regular bike pump. I found 35 PSI perfect for my camper and 15 PSI ideal for daily driving.
Some users report the air bags wearing out after 3-4 years of heavy use. I recommend only inflating them when carrying heavy loads to extend life.
Perfect for Ram 1500 owners who tow occasionally but don’t want a stiff ride when empty.
2. Air Lift Company 27685 Air Lift Performance 3P Air Line
This digital control system lets you adjust your suspension from inside your car. The controller remembers your favorite settings for different situations.
I installed this on my lowered Audi and was amazed how quickly it responds. Press a button and the car raises over speed bumps in seconds.
The height sensors automatically keep your car level even when loading passengers. The wiring harness is clearly labeled and much easier than older systems.
You’ll need to buy air tanks and compressors separately, which adds to the cost. Some users reported controller issues after a year of use.
Installation took about 3 hours, but most of that was routing wires neatly. The system works with most air suspension setups, not just Air Lift bags.
Best for enthusiasts who want precise digital control over their air suspension system.
3. Air Lift Performance 75673 Performance Series Rear Suspension Kit
This BMW-specific kit transformed my E30’s handling completely. The aluminum construction feels premium and shows no signs of corrosion.
I can lower my car by 5 inches for shows then raise it for daily driving. The 30 damping levels let me fine-tune from soft cruising to track-day firm.
The threaded body design means no cutting or permanent changes to your car. The camber plates help dial in perfect alignment even when lowered.
Installation required about 4 hours and basic mechanical knowledge. You’ll need some specialized BMW tools that aren’t included in the kit.
The T6061 aluminum components have survived two harsh winters with no issues. Some plastic fittings need careful handling during installation.
Perfect for BMW owners who want both show-car looks and performance handling without compromise.
Which One Should Be Best?
For most drivers, the Air Lift 1000 HD (#1) offers the best balance of price and performance. It solves real towing problems without complex installation.
The simple design means fewer things to break over time. You can install it yourself in under 90 minutes with basic tools.
If you’re serious about customizing your ride height, the 3P Air Line system (#2) gives you push-button control. This is worth the extra cost for lowered cars.
Always check your vehicle’s compatibility before ordering. Each Air Lift kit is designed for specific makes and models, so there’s no one-size-fits-all option.
Just remember that air suspension needs regular checks. Look for leaks and keep your compressor in good shape for best results.
