Review on 🚗 Enhance Your Vehicle's Performance with the AIR LIFT 60742 1000 Series Rear Air Spring Kit by Tony Wylie

My new camper trailer caused the rear of my 4Runner to squat enough that it lifted the front a bit and made the steering a little blurry. Because the 4Runner goes up 2 inches with Old Man Emu (OME) coils, the kit listed for the 2004 4Runner is not true to size. I emailed Air Lift about my application and they responded the same day with measuring instructions to help find the right kit. I sent them measurements of the inside of the coils that night and got a reply the next morning as to which kit would fit best. Installation was easy but could have been easier if I had thought 3 seconds before starting. I was able to install the bags without removing the coils by jacking up the back of the 4Runner so both wheels were hanging down. I had "three tier" fenders in my coils and had to cut the underside of the upper tier to fit properly. Pro tip (which I went for on the second fender): If you're not removing coils, cut each "plane" of the fender individually, starting at the bottom edge. On the first coil I cut off the entire fender and then I realized I couldn't thread it through the coils to get it out. I had to pin it on one end with a tool while cutting it into a few pieces to remove it. Once the baffles were removed I was able to push the bags into the coils while they were fully deflated. There are already holes on the spring bars and I was able to run air ducts through these holes to connect to the bags. I connected the lines from both bags together with the attached "T" and routed to the included valve. I placed the valve just behind the driver's side rear fender through the existing opening in the fender. I have a bike pump (full size, not bag/frame) that I use to add air to bags. about a minute to air. At around 25 psi I found that the rear of the 4Runner only sags 1-2 inches with a loaded trailer as opposed to 4-6s without. They have now done 2 rides, about 500 miles towed and 1000 miles unloaded and (other than the loss of the air valve cap) they show no signs of wear.
