Overview
The AirLift Air Lift 1000 Rear Coil Spring, part number AIR60812, is a rear helper spring for open coil spring suspensions. The manufacturer fitment list covers 1990–1995 Toyota 4Runner SR5 models and 2001–2007 Toyota Sequoia models in the Limited and SR5 trims.
The spring is designed to give a steadier ride, better handling and braking, and less roll, sway and bottoming out. It is rated for up to 1000 lbs of leveling capacity and is air adjustable, so the ride can be tuned for hauling, towing or light loads. It is made of molded polyurethane.

Choosing a helper spring
A rear helper spring supports the rear of a coil suspension when the vehicle carries extra weight. It works alongside the factory coil springs rather than replacing them, so it adds support under load without changing how the suspension moves when the vehicle is empty. Owners who tow, haul gear or ride with passengers often notice the rear sitting lower over time, and a helper spring can help hold that height.
Air adjustable models let you change the support as loads change. Check the air fittings and lines for leaks after setting the pressure, and recheck them after the first few drives. Shock absorbers, bushings and the factory springs work together, so inspect them when a helper goes in, since worn parts can reduce the benefit of the upgrade.
- Route air lines away from hot or moving parts
- Look for cracked polyurethane or worn mounting points during inspection
- Re-torque mounting hardware after the first few trail runs
