AccuAir Air Helper Kits – Advanced Towing & Load Leveling Solutions
Helper air spring kits enhance a vehicle's stability, ride quality, and braking effectiveness within safe load/towing capacities. AccuAir helper air springs provide load-bearing support via adjustable air pressure, suitable for varying load capacities.
The air springs enhance the ride by reducing friction within the leaf springs. They help maintain control while maintaining braking effectiveness through weight-shift events. They also soften contact between the axle and the frame to reduce the risk of bottoming out.
Load-assist helper springs are heavy-duty air springs designed to alleviate common issues with traditional coil or leaf spring suspensions.
When towing, air helper springs eliminate truck squat, trailer sway, and bounce—shop kits for Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, RAM, and Toyota trucks. Our applications are compatible with 2WD and 4WD.
Air Helper Kits: Frequently Asked Questions
What is an air helper spring kit?
An air helper spring kit adds heavy-duty air springs to your truck's existing leaf or coil suspension. They provide load-bearing support through adjustable air pressure, helping level your truck and improve ride quality when you carry or tow a load.
What does an air helper kit do when I tow or haul?
It eliminates rear squat, trailer sway, and bounce by supporting the added weight over the rear axle. That keeps your truck level, improves steering control and braking during weight-shift events, and reduces harsh axle-to-frame contact so you are less likely to bottom out.
Will an air helper kit increase my truck's towing or payload capacity?
No. Air helper springs improve stability and ride quality within your truck's existing, safe load and towing capacities. They do not raise your vehicle's factory-rated limits, so always stay within your manufacturer's ratings.
Which trucks do AccuAir air helper kits fit?
AccuAir offers air helper kits for Chevrolet, GMC, Dodge/RAM, Ford, and Toyota trucks in both 2WD and 4WD, with applications for popular models like the F-150, Tundra, Tacoma, Silverado/Sierra, and Ram. Some models have fitment exceptions, so confirm your exact year, make, and model on the product page.
How do I adjust the air pressure?
You add or release air through the kit's air valves, using more pressure for heavier loads and less for a softer ride when you are empty. You can inflate manually, or add an AccuAir on-board air management system to adjust pressure from inside the cab.
Are air helper kits hard to install?
No. AccuAir air helper kits are bolt-on and install with common hand tools using the included instructions and vehicle-specific installation guides. Many truck owners install them at home in an afternoon.
Do they improve the ride when I'm not towing?
Yes. Because the pressure is adjustable, you can run lower pressure when the truck is empty for a smoother ride, then air up when you load or tow. The springs also reduce friction and strain on your factory suspension over time.
Are AccuAir air helper kits made in the USA and under warranty?
Yes. AccuAir air helper kits are made in the USA and backed by AccuAir's warranty.
