I am towing with a Toyota Sienna van and purchased these to help with ride control.
Installation was straight forward - be sure and follow the printed instructions. I initially tried to install the bags without jacking up the car and this was quite difficult.. Removing the rear wheels will make it much simpler / quicker to get at the coil springs and secure the air lines.
I also positioned the air bags with the nipples at the top - works fine and isolates the air lines from movement of the suspension. I ran the air line into the rear of the van by puncturing one of the rubber grommets on the underside of the floor pan and slipped it up into the area where the emergency jack sits. Works great!
I needed a lift! April 1, 2008

I have a 2005 Toyota Sienna and several children. I have, at times, taken a load of Boy-scouts and equipment in the car for a campout. For big loads I attach a "Dual-Port" mounted cargo box that hangs aft of the rear bumper. It holds a lot but drops the rear too much and I get cars flashing me wiht their bright lights. The parts arrived sooner than I expected and the contents looked just like the add showed. I had little trouble installing the bags, although they are rather stiff and require some strength to push through the spring coils. Unlike the instructions, I chose to route the air line out the hole in the top of the spring perch rather than the bottom which bounces along with the wheels. They work great, levelling the car as needed in a few seconds. It is also a little stiffer and much less sensitive to the added load and bumps. It rarely scrape the hitch now.
Works well April 15, 2008

I have a 2007 Toyota Sienna and added a hitch for carrying bikes. When I pull out of the driveway or if the van was loaded with people, the hitch would occasionally bump the ground. I installed this system and the problem went away. I installed the system per instructions with the hose coming out the bottom and installation took a little over an hour with minimal tools (pliers, knife, drill, and 5/16 drill bit for the valve stem). I would have liked to route the air hose on top of the coil as the other reviewer but it was too much trouble getting the hose locked onto the stem.
I am currently testing the system with 30 pounds of air on an empty van. The van rides only slightly higher in the back (not visibly noticeable) and I can not tell any performance changes on twisty or bumpy roads which is ok by me. When I hooked up a utility trailer with about 200+ pound tongue weight, the van did not show any signs of sagging. Even with 3 adults, two kids, and lots of luggage, the van was fine with no bottoming out. I highly recommend this system for anyone with a rear coil suspension system.

Made my day!
Je transporte une chaise motorisée de 260 lbs (120 Kg) en plus des bagages lors de nos déplacements entre le Canada et la Floride. Le produit de AIR LIFT convient parfaitement a ma Sienna. Aucune difficulté lors du raccord des ballons par le haut et l'entrée des tubes dans le compartiment du JACK en passant par le bouchon flexible. Merci au garagiste indépendant qui m'a permis de lever le véhicule. Pour une meilleure stabilité dans les courbes utiliser 2 circuits de gonflage.
Conseils:
1. Ne pas couper le tube: Partir du compartiment JACK, au travers le bouchon (facile à trouver dans le fond de l'aile droite) avec les deux extrémités du tube.
2. Une fois sous le véhicule, tirer chaque extrémité du tube vers chacun des ballons.
3. Raccorder les ballons, attacher et tirer le surplus des tubes vers l'intérieur.
4. En dernier, dans le compartiment JACK, couper la boucle du tube au millieu et installer les valves.
5. Percer des orifices dans la finition intérieure n'est pas nécessaire. Je les identifie gauche ou droit et les laisse libres.
Bonne installation!

After reading reviews for this kit online and the issues others have had with lift height after installing thier trailer hitches i bought this kit. I followed the instructions which were easy to understand and had this kit installed within an hour. I did customize where the air fittings were placed because i decided instead of trying to fit them inside the cabin to actually put them on the hitch itself and make the system to not only lift the height in the rear but now i can level out the rear if it is leaning to 1 side from uneven weight.i keep 26 PSI at all times when i'm not towing and i don't even notice the kit is istalled. what i do notice though is my trailer hitch no longer scrapes the road when i back out of my driveway like it used to (that was the reason for purchasing this kit). The hitch scraping is due to a combination of driveway angle and lower ride height caused by the weight and clearance of the hitch.
Overall this product works great and overall is pretty easy to install,in fact it took longer to customize the valve placement than it did to install the kit. i recommend this to anyone needing increased ride height for their Seinna van.
