Overview
The AirLift 1000 Load Assist Rear Spring Kit (part 60817) is an add-on helper spring for rear coil spring suspensions. It works alongside the existing springs when a vehicle carries heavy loads, helping to stop the suspension from bottoming out.
AirLift designed the 1000 kits as helper springs for coil spring suspensions, and they are offered for front or rear use. This model is for the rear. Because the helper can be tuned to the ride you want, the kit suits hauling, towing or driving with a light load. No specific vehicles are named.

Helper springs on coil suspensions
A helper spring supports the existing coil springs when the rear carries extra weight. Instead of replacing the coils, it adds support where the suspension would otherwise compress more and bottom out. Helpers are often chosen for hauling, towing, or trips with heavy gear, and they can be adjusted to suit the ride you want.
Because the helper sits alongside the original coil springs, the shock absorbers, bushings and mounting points still matter. Worn shocks can make the rear feel bouncy even with a helper in place. Inspect the bags, lines and hardware at regular intervals, and keep the vehicle level when fitting so the new load is balanced.
- Replace worn shocks before adding support
- Look for air leaks after heavy loads
- Keep the vehicle securely supported during install
