If your truck, SUV, or van squats with a trailer or cargo, you want Air Lift air helper springs. They add support only when you need it and keep the empty ride comfortable.
Which vehicles can use Air Lift load support
Most popular half ton and heavy duty trucks are covered, including Ford F-150 and Super Duty, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram 1500 and 2500, and Toyota Tundra. Many midsize trucks like Tacoma, Colorado, Ranger, and Canyon are supported too, along with SUVs such as 4Runner, Sequoia, Suburban, Tahoe, and Expedition. Vans like Sprinter and Transit benefit a ton because shelving, tools, and conversions add constant weight. RV tow vehicles and Class C motorhomes make a great case for air helper springs as well.
Which vehicles can use Air Lift Performance
You will find kits for many enthusiast platforms. Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, Dodge Charger and Challenger, Subaru WRX and STI, Volkswagen GTI and Golf R, Audi A4 and A5, BMW 3 and 4 Series, and more. There are options for certain trucks as well. If you want low looks without living with a harsh static drop, this is the lane for you.
How do I choose a pressure for load support
Use the lowest pressure that levels the vehicle with your typical load. Start at the recommended baseline, measure fender height, and add a few psi until the rear sits even with the front. Write down your number for trailer duty and your number for cargo duty. You will dial it in over a couple of trips.
Do I need an on-board compressor
You do not need one, but you will love having one. If your loads vary, a small in-cab controller saves time at every gas stop. It is also handy for seasonal changes when you adjust pressure for winter roads, summer road trips, or camping gear.
Can air springs fix worn shocks
No. Air helper springs support weight and height. Shocks control motion. If your rig is bouncy or crashes into bumps, consider fresh dampers along with air. The combination is fantastic for towing, hauling, and long highway miles.
Will an Air Lift Performance system ride better than my current lowering springs
In most cases, yes. Lowering springs fix height but lock you into one rate. Air Lift Performance lets you change height and fine tune pressure so the car can be comfortable on rough streets, composed on fast roads, and low at shows. The result is livability that static drops struggle to match.
What maintenance should I expect
It is simple. For helper springs, check brackets and airlines during oil changes, and re-torque after your first loaded trip. For performance systems, inspect lines and fittings a few times per year and keep filters clean. Use a soapy water spray to check for bubbles if you suspect a slow leak.
Will this affect my alignment
Leveling a loaded truck brings alignment closer to the values your tires expect, which is good. A performance air setup should be aligned once you settle on your everyday height. Save that height in your controller so you return to it before long drives.
Why order from Shockwarehouse

Bottom line
Pick the tool that matches your goal. Choose Air Lift helper springs if load support and leveling are your need. Choose Air Lift Performance if adjustable height and comfort are your goal. Set it up once, keep a few notes, and enjoy a vehicle that finally behaves the way you want.
