Overview
Many of today's most popular light-to-medium duty trucks, vans, and SUVs are built for a more comfortable, car-like ride. That's fine when the vehicle is lightly loaded. But add a trailer, or all the things people haul for work and pleasure, and the vehicle sags and the ride suffers! The Air Lift 59500 Series Kit is here to help!
Big over-the-road trucks use air bag suspensions to carry the load. High-end SUVs offer air shocks -- as an expensive option! YOU can enjoy the benefits of air at an affordable price!
Ride Control Air Springs
The air springs used in these kits are designed and manufactured much like a tire. They have layers of rubber and cords that control the bag's growth and funnel it into one direction. They don't require a coil spring to control them, like the Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit. Ride Control kits utilize a sleeve style air bag that provides up to 2,000 pounds of load. Each sleeve is rated at a maximum of 100 p.s.i. Ride Control kits are recommended for all light duty, leaf spring vehicles such as 1/2 ton pickups, SUVs, mini-trucks, and minivans. Ride Control kits are also used in some front applications on leaf spring 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups.

Air Lift
The Air Lift Company has been developing air spring suspension products for over 50 years. The original product, a rubber air spring inserted into a car's factory coil spring, was developed and patented in 1950.
The versatility of Air Lift air springs were proven during the early years of stock car racing. Air Lifts were used by most of the stock car racing teams for twenty years or so until the racing suspensions evolved to more sophisticated systems. The Air Lift Company sponsored cars were tough competitors on the NASCAR Grand National Circuit. The Air Lift Company has the longest history of product development dedicated solely to the development of light vehicle air suspension products.
First, in the 1950's, Air Lift pioneered the use of air spring inserts in coil spring suspensions. Then, in the 1960's, Air Lift introduced the use of sleeve-type air springs on pickup truck suspensions. During the 1980's Air Lift started using air helper springs on motor homes and ambulances. Street rods and lowered vehicles were the target in the 1990's. Today's products are an evolution of Air Lift's breakthrough development programs applying the use of air springs in light truck and motor home suspensions. Air Lift has won more SEMA awards for air spring development products than any other company.
