I have these air springs on a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. I really like them a lot. They have fixed the sag in the rear and combined with new shocks my car handles like new. However, the install was a lot more complicated than advertised on Air Lift's website. I had to completely take the rear end out of my car. The springs needed to come out, so i had to rent a spring compressor, the panhard bar had the be removed and the shocks. You have to remove the bumpstops and drill a hole in the spring seat for the airline. It was a ton of work but well worth it. Keep in mind that each vehicle install is different, so if your worried about your car check for the instructions for your vehicle.Edit:I've now had these on my car for almost 3 years. I can report they are still working great and I'm so glad I put them on. When you have nothing in the car or are not towing, you can set the pressure real low and you don't even know they are there; nice and comfortable, but stops bottoming out. When I load up the back with scuba tanks, gear, weights, and hook up the boat, I up the pressure to about 20psi. This levels the car out, and the ride is still very comfortable. Maybe more than when not loaded. When you put on air springs you should really change your shocks as well to something that gives better control for the expected added weight.

I Installed the Air Lift 1000 kit into my 2002 Pathfinder which was experiencing really sacked-out rear coil springs. Replacement springs were ridiculously expensive and these air bladders were less than half the cost. When just two Adults and a full tank, only 30% max rated pressure is needed to keep her rump standing high and proud again. Interesting, I had always known mine was due for some attention but it took other similarly afflicted Pathfinders seen on the road to convince me to act.Installation was straight forward for me (after a slight detour). This being the fact that the 2002 model has lower spring seats that include a center hole that tantalized me to perform installation similar to some others (not drilling it out to the larger bore). All went well until a week later when, with a sudden brief blast of air, the flaw in the method became evident. I was raising the truck back up on the lift for some other work when the poly tube, feeding air to the bladders, popped off one of them. Upon close examination, it appeared that the bladders, after entering service, (being filled with air) become conformed to their individual springs, a death-grip of sorts. So when lifting the truck, allows the rear axle to extend until hanging by its shock's, this allowed the springs to extend and subsequently pull the Air Lift Bladders alarmingly high off their bottom spring seats. For them to do this they must draw their poly tubing air feed tubes up through the seat holes. In this case the original small hole's close-fit gripped the poly tube enough to restrict their smooth feed through and so popped it off the brass nipple extending from the bottom of the bladder. Furthermore, when dropping the vehicle back down on its suspension, the tubing would not return back down the small holes, but would accordion (pinch) into worthlessness. (I tried this as an experiment).So with my new found knowledge, I decided to reinstall per Mfg instructions including, removing the springs, drilling the holes out to at least 5/8", smoothing out any burrs and then reassembling with extra tubing coiled enough beneath the spring seats so that the bladders can rise and fall when the vehicle is raised the way a service station would (via body frame).Handling is great, even heavily loaded with four adults and gear for the holidays plus a trailer, still only requiring raising pressure to 50% of maximum. A wonderful product to be sure.

I bought these to install on my 2001 QX4 to stiffen the rear of some, and as an off road aid to help ensure adequate ground clearance. They do indeed help in both respects, so I've been quite please from a function standpoint.Durability is questionable however. I installed these in April 2010, and in September that same year, the left one would no longer hold air due to a tear in the bag. Replacement was reasonably quick, but since these go inside the coils, it's a major job to install them. Fast forward three years and the other side failed- cracked again and will no longer hold air. Replacement has been longer- still trying to get a hold of someone, but that's partly my fault as they did leave a phone number a while back and I lost it. Assuming that the company will send a replacement, I have hours more work to do to remove and replace the second failed air bag.I've been meticulous in monitoring the air pressure weekly, and typically only keep 6 psi in each side, bumping it up to 10-12 psi if going off road or if on a trip with a heavier load. Having to spend what amounts to a full day on the initial installation, a half day to replace one, and yet another half day to replace a second failed bag, I'm disappointed overall with this product. Great concept, questionable durability.
