Air Lift 81560 AIR Lift 1000 Series Rear Air Spring Kit

Made me want to kick the dog trying to get these worked into the springs. Once I did get them in, no dogs got kicked, the rest of the install was a breeze. They fit my escalade nicely, took all the sag out when I'm towing and make it much safer to tow with. Very happy with the stability, appearance and performance of these air bags and the price was great.

ok, there are lots of youtube vids on how to get these in...but only one method truly worked. These are tough, i mean real tough, and impossible to just twist up and push though spring hole. But, i found that by using hose clamps, five to be exact, you can contract this thing to fit in your 1.25" hole. As you slide it in, remove each clamp. It's was super easy like that. Vacuum pump, hot water, none of that worked for me. They work really well, and I'm getting another set to store for spares. I'm thinking based on previous experience and the frequency I drive my motorhome, I'll get about 5 years on them.

I've used this product before on another motorhome. both times were on a Chevy P30 chassis. I used a Sawzall to cut the old bags to pieces so I could pull them out. You can find lots of help online for this process. In order to install the bags, you have to compress them and push them up through the hold in the bottom of the suspension arm. I'm 63 and I did it. It is not easy to do, but it is doable. I squeeze all the air out of the bags in my vice between two pieces of wood. Then they can be folded lengthwise, coated with soap and wrestled through the hole. Like I said it's doable and I've done it twice. This last time I decided the next time I'll pay someone to do it for me. The bags are thick, strong and improve the ride of the motorhome that they are worth it.

These fit the front of my 1997 Chevrolet P30 chassis motorhome (Damon Daybreak) perfectly, though the listing says they do not. This part number matches Air Lifts recommended part. Installation through the lower control arm was a massive pain. I eventually boiled the bags in water and immediately used hose clamps to get them to stay small enough to barely fit through the opening.

I had to purchase locally since my seller sent the wrong item number twice. The actual bags for my application work great and were relatively easy to install. Air lift is great, I just don't know why stocking and reading the item numbers before shipment is so hard!

Not exactly easy to install, but they did get in eventually. Followed the instructions and the hardest part, aside from getting the hard material to compress down small enough, was getting the end disks in place. Of course the second went in easier than the first. We ended up cutting an slice in one side of the ring. The bottom ring went in so much easier that way. The top ring is a pain in the rear and reinforced patience. We had to use silicone spray and grease to slide the bags into the hole, while using hose clamps and wire ties. The hose clamps made compression much easier. We learned that trying to get the last third of the first bag in. The bags seem to be very well made. I already had bags in my motorhome so I just reused the tubing. I installed on a 1992 Itasca Sunrise which is on a Chevy P30 chassis. Amazon said they wouldn't fit, but the end result is fine.

Installing made sure I was able to adjust the front height of my Chevy P30 based RV. It looked like a lowrider before :-)

I hooked the bladders up to a vacuum pump to suck them down flat and then ty wrapped them up tight for fittment. They slipped right through the bottom 2" hole in my lower a frame with ease. No elboe grease required at all. Not sure what all the hype was with these other dudes who have such a hard time with installation. Bunch of cry babies! ! ! I love the product and would recommend these to any do it yourselfer. With only 40psi they gave my 8000lb. diesel van an extra 1.5" of travel on the front suspension. rides great now! Thanks Air Lift!

Great service. Would recommend seller.

These where great, instruction were easy to follow, all the parts were there and there was no drama to install them. They went on a Chevrolet P-32 Motorhome Chassis and I was a bit worried that I would have a hard time putting them in, somebody stated an experience mechanic charged them 8 hours of works, I did it in three taking my time and making sure everything was alright. The key parts was to empty them of air prior to install them and I did so with the help of 2x4, c-clamp and tie-wrap. The trick is to squeeze them between the 2x4 with the c-clamp to get all the air out(with the air plug off) putting the cap back before releasing the c-clamp. Once this is done, place both of your hand and place them at each extremity (1 with the cap and one with the knob) and twist the airbag as much as you can. Once this is done, you tie wrap it with a liberal amount of these tie-wrap and trie to squeeze as much of the air out as you can. Once his is done, you can try and insert them cutting the tie-wrap before they go in. If thing gets hard to progress, use the soapy water.Ride quality from the no air bag to the new air bag that held air for 60 days was great and although my wife mentioned that she was not noticing how much better the coach was coasting on dirt road, she did not say "ouch" a single time when we hit a pothole. I would buy these again in a hearthbeat if needed.

They work as they should. As others have said, they are a pain in the *** to install (and I do a lot of mechanical work). It's a great product for the price and if you need one, the install is going to be the same no matter the brand.

not easy to install no fault of the product just not a nice job but after a year still works great no leaks handles allot better

Received them, heated them in the oven to 60C, folded them, installed them.1h each side with air line routing time. Held 60PSI over night, one valve stem popped out at test drive. Quick call to customer service, new pair of bags on warranty will arrive in 2 days, excellent customer service, one of the best I ever experienced.I hate the fact I have to cut the old bag out now, probably more work than installing it, but the great customer service keeps it at five stars.
