Calling Canadian Pilots

Hey dustino8, where did you get your airlift 1000? I am thinking of that as well. What is your experience after the upgrade? I have just ordered a pair of SPC Rear Camber Kit (adjustable upper control arm) to make camber less negative for my next wheel alignment, just want make less inner edge tire wear in the future. But to make the rear suspension stronger, I am thinking of the airlift 1000 as well. Thanks!

Hey donx

To be honest, I can't recall where I bought it. May have been autopartsway.ca. My experience has been good with it. I initially installed it b/c I was towing regularly with the Pilot, and wanted to stiffen up the rear suspension. However, its helpful when you've got a large load of luggage, dogs, home improvement supplies, etc. in the cargo area, for leveling out the unit. I haven't had any issues with it, except last time I checked the air pressure in the bags and one was flat. I have to admit I hadn't checked them in several months, so it may just have a really slow leak. I'll have to check again soon to make sure its holding.

I drive around unloaded with 10-15 psi in them, and I can't notice a difference in the ride. Jack the psi up though, and you'll notice. Overall, been very happy with them. Just make sure that if you install yourself, buy a good bit for drilling the hole through the lower control arm. It will be expensive, but worth it. I think its a 7/8" hole that needs to be drilled. I cheaped out, thought I'd drill a small hole and then grind it out, but that didn't work so well. The metal on the control arm is very stout.
