The Right Hardware for Your Hauler

’21-’23 RAPTOR 4WD Helper Bags

By working with the vehicle’s existing suspension, Air Lift 1000 is designed to help with vehicle squat, poor headlight aim, unresponsive steering, trailer sway, body roll, and bottoming out. By properly leveling the load, squat is eliminated, braking is improved, and the vehicle is returned to a level and stable state, allowing users to tow and haul safely and comfortably.

Installation requires no drilling or special tools. Also included is an easy-to-follow, fully illustrated instruction manual for easy installation. In addition, Air Lift offers wired or wireless on-board air compressor systems for convenient inflation and deflation of the air springs.

Piston-Style Check Valves

These check valves are designed to ensure oil, fuel, or other fluids flow in the right direction and won’t backflow through the system. That helps maintain line pressure and prevent leaks. Vibrant Performance check valves are available in sizes ranging from -6 to -16 AN and have an anodized black finish.
