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.

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!
Easy install!! works great July 13, 2009

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.

Air Lift bags has turned my 2007 Toyota Sienna into a 'super hauler'. Four square of shingles - no problem, 300 lb. trampoline (in a box) - no problem. This is the second vehicle I've installed this product. The ride without a load seems the same. The ride with a load is good and the rear isn't dragging anymore. Installation is easy. The only semi-difficult part is routing the air hoses.
Serves its purpose well August 22, 2009

I needed something to help support a 350 lbm tongue weight on my minivan. These bags, when inflated with the recommended 35 psig and with the 350-lbm load, keep the bottom of the receiver hitch 2 inches higher off the ground (relative to the height with near zero pressure in the bags). They also stiffen the dynamic load (i.e. keep it higher off the ground when going over bumps). They're easy to install (remove all cargo from back end of vehicle to help stretch the coil springs which helps to install/push the deflated bag between coils). Be careful not to allow the cheap plastic tubes from touching the hot muffler. They barely give enough length of tubing and not very good clamps for the tubing. Use a tiny bit of WD40 on the inside of the tube to help push the brass fittings on the ends of the tubing. I've been on several trips now without any problems. I keep them inflated even when not towing my popup.
