REAR Springs - what do you suggest for heavy cargo, Im bottoming out

[fastpathy35]

I have the airlift 1000, and i love it. It rarely needs aired up, maybe once a month check on them. You have to keep at least 5psi but no more than 30 i think. Maybe 35. I wouldnt run it in a 'T' because it will cause you to have a LOT of body roll. Be sure to drill the hole in the coil pad larger because the hose will fit through the stock hole but, when under pressure the bags lean a little with the coils causing the nipple to bind and leak air. I mounted the valves just above my mudflaps that way i could get to them easily and they werent visible. For $86 i got exactly what i was wanting. No more bottoming out with two people in the back seat. But im sure 200lbs of stereo equipment doesnt help as a constant weight. The job is much easier with two people. One person to pick up on the opposite side of the axle for you to get your spring out and visa versa.

ah, what happened to the pics? any pics? if you don't mind would be nice.

that was one of my biggest concern, having to air it up everynow and then.

and in regards to the valves, are they similar to the tire valve?

They practically are a tire valve and inner tube, fill up the same anyways

Mine shipped yesterday, was hoping to get it today but no dice.

Cant wait to install em

Pretty cheap upgrade

I would post pics, i just cant from my phone. Not the way nico does it. Ive not had a problem with mine leaking, and i think it was about $86 shipped. Just google search 'air lift 1000'.

I just added the Airlift 1000 to my 03 Pathfinder and what a difference. It's only been a few days, but I like it. It has a stiffer ride, but you can't see them and I added the 2 air fittings on each side of the bumper, low so you barley notice them, they are right next to the hitch. If's nice out I'll take a pic and add it if I can figure it out, since I am new to this fourm. I also had mine installed at Les Schwab, I didn't have the time to mess with them... Later...
