Installed my Airlift 1000 yesterday.
I got the Airlift in on Tuesday but with family in town I did not have the time. I fallowed the instructions but it was so easy with out because I install Airbags on Semi tractors trailers. I put 35psi in the bags and drove around town to get them set in the springs. after 5hrs of letting them sit for a leak test. I lowered them down to 25psi. I think 25 rides like a pickup or my old 92 Ford Explorer. I like the air springs, Great Mod.

Yes the same with me. It took me no longer than 30mins and I did not need to jack up the PF.marmillerX wrote:I just installed mine and it took 20 min. Just jack up the rear until the tires leave the ground. Then compress the bags and slide them into the springs. I was able to do it by hand. Then run the air lines and your done. It was the easiest mod I have ever done. Good luck.

I just did mine the other day and am quite happy with it. Have yet to try out 4 people in the vehicle, but I notice that the rear end isn't as soft (I have about 15-20psi in the bags).
Took me about an hour and half, but part of that was spent looking around work for something to use for a bracket to mount the 2 air valves. Definitely a bit of a pain to get the bags inside the springs but if you pre-run the hose and top ring and attach them to the bags before you put them in, it makes it easier. Then once the bag is in the spring, let the air fill it up and giggle it around to position it.
