The Air Lift Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit 60854 (Part #BBCG60854) fits the following vehicles: 2016-2020 Ford Edge; 2019-2023 Lincoln Nautilus. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
Yes, the Air Lift Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit 60854 (Part #BBCG60854) is designed to fit the 2016-2020 Ford Edge.
The Air Lift Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit 60854 (Part #BBCG60854) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, Air Lift kit 60854 (MN-1146) is designed for the Ford Edge. The kit includes two air springs rated at a maximum of 35 PSI (2.4 BAR) each, providing up to 1,000 pounds (454 kg) of load-leveling support when installed into the vehicle's coil springs. For fitment confirmation on your specific model year, contact Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892.
The maximum air pressure is 35 PSI (2.4 BAR). The minimum recommended pressure is 5 PSI (0.34 BAR). Do not exceed the maximum pressure, as the air springs are rated at 35 PSI. The actual pressure needed depends on your load and gross vehicle weight rating. Always maintain normal ride height and never exceed your vehicle's maximum GVWR or payload rating.
Required tools are: needle nose and regular pliers, 5/16" drill bit, drill, hose cutter or razor blade, hoist or floor jack, 2 safety stands, safety glasses, air compressor or compressed air source, spray bottle with dish soap/water solution, and a tire spoon or blunt instrument. Do not use scissors or wire cutters to cut air lines.
The kit includes: 2 air springs (part 46172), 2 lower protectors (09112), 15 feet of air line (20937), 6 zip ties (10466), 2 valve caps (21230), 4 5/16" hex nuts (21233), 2 rubber washers (21234), 2 star washers (18411), 2 M8 flat washers (18501), 1 tee fitting (21236), 2 Schrader valves (21455), and 6 air line clamps (10638). If any parts are missing or damaged, call Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892.
The manual does not mention battery disconnection. However, you will be working under the vehicle and raising it on a hoist or jack with safety stands, so follow standard vehicle safety practices.
Remove the plastic cap from the barbed stem on the end of the air spring. Exhaust the air from the air spring by rolling it up toward the barbed stem. Replace the cap on the stem to hold its flat shape. Fold the air spring into a "hot dog bun shape" before inserting it into the coil spring opening.
Insert the flattened end of the air spring into the top opening of the coil spring, with the stem at the bottom. Push the spring down into the cylinder by hand or with a blunt instrument such as a spoon-type tire iron. Once completely inserted, remove the cap and allow the air spring to assume its "as molded" shape.
The lower protector is inserted between the lower spring seat and the air spring. After pushing the air spring to the top of the coil spring, insert the protector on the bottom, then push the air spring down so the stem is centered in the protector's hole. This protects the air spring from the lower spring seat.
Install an air line clamp on each end of the air line. Push the air line over the barbed stem, completely covering all the barbs. Install the clamp over the barbed stem using needle nose pliers. Leave a little slack in the air line so it will not pull off the stem when the suspension is in full extension.
Route the air line inboard and attach to the lower control arm using a zip tie on both sides, leaving a little slack so the air line will not pull off the stem when the suspension is in full extension. Then route the air line to the top of the crossmember, avoiding the exhaust on the passenger's (right) side. An example shows routing above the crossmember to the left side, behind the fender well, then back to a valve location using an existing hole in the bottom of the bumper cover.
Single-path installation is recommended for vehicles with even weight distribution. Both air springs connect to a single tee fitting, which then connects to one Schrader valve. Dual-path installation is used when weight varies from side to side and unequal pressures are needed to level the load. For dual-path, eliminate the tee fitting and route separate air lines for each air spring directly to individual Schrader valves.
Make clean, square cuts with a razor blade or hose cutter. Do not use scissors or wire cutters, as these will damage the air line and create poor connections.
1. Slide the air line clamp onto the air line. 2. Push the air line and air line clamp over the barbed stem so that the air line covers all the barbs. 3. Compress the ears on the air line clamp with pliers and slide it forward to fully cover the barbs. This procedure applies to all air line connections: from air springs to tee fitting, from tee to Schrader valve, and for dual-path installations from air springs directly to Schrader valves.
Yes, you must drill a 5/16" (8 mm) hole for the Schrader valve. Select a location that will be protected and accessible with an air hose. Recommended locations are inside the fuel tank filler door, inside rear wheel wells, or in the license plate or rear bumper area. The manual states "Drill a 5/16" (8mm) hole, if necessary," indicating drilling is required unless a suitable existing hole is available.
Drill a 5/16" (8 mm) hole in the vehicle body or bumper. Install the air line on the Schrader valve first. Mount the valve with the rubber washer (which serves as an outside weather seal) on the outside, followed by a flat washer, star washer, and hex nut on the inside. The valve cap should be installed on the valve stem.
Maintain at least 6 inches (152 mm) clearance from the exhaust system to the air line to prevent the air line from melting. This applies to both air springs and air lines. Check clearance during the heat test portion of the installation checklist.
Be aware of sharp edges on vehicle components, like the lower control arm and heat shields on the exhaust, when working under the vehicle. Observe tension on brake lines and do not strain or overextend them. Always use a hoist or floor jack with 2 safety stands to support the frame. Wear safety glasses during installation.
Once the air lines have been installed, raise the suspension or lower the body completely and remove the safety stands. Then inflate the air springs to 5 PSI (0.34 BAR). Do not inflate the air springs before reading the Maintenance and Use Guidelines in the installation guide and the user guide included with the kit.
Perform the following checks in order: (1) Clearance test—inflate to 30 PSI (2 BAR) and verify at least 1/2" (13 mm) clearance from the tire, brakes, frame, shock absorbers and brake cables. (2) Leak test—inflate to 30 PSI and check all connections for leaks; all leaks must be eliminated before road testing. (3) Heat test—verify at least 6" (152 mm) clearance from heat sources. (4) Fastener test—after 500 miles (800 km), recheck all bolts for proper torque. (5) Road test—drive 10 miles (16 km) and recheck for clearance, loose fasteners and air leaks.
Check air pressure weekly. Always maintain normal ride height and never inflate beyond 35 PSI (2.4 BAR). The actual pressure needed depends on your load and gross vehicle weight rating.
Use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core. If leaks are found, they must be eliminated before the vehicle is road tested. If you cannot locate or fix the leak, deflate and remove the air spring and contact Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892.
No. For safety and to prevent possible damage to the vehicle, do not exceed the maximum gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or payload rating as indicated by the vehicle manufacturer. Although the air springs are rated at a maximum inflation pressure of 35 PSI (2.4 BAR), the air pressure actually needed is dependent on load and GVWR. Exceeding these limits can compromise vehicle safety.

After 500 miles (800 km), recheck all bolts for proper torque. Then perform a 10-mile road test and recheck for clearance, loose fasteners, and air leaks.
Use a spray bottle with a soapy water solution and check all air line connections and the inflation valve core. Bubbles will form at the location of any leak. If leaks are found, they must be eliminated before the vehicle is road tested. If you cannot locate or fix the leak, deflate and remove the air spring.
The air line must maintain at least 6 inches (152 mm) clearance from the exhaust system to prevent melting. If the air line is already damaged, it must be replaced. When rerouting, ensure the air line is positioned away from all heat sources, including heat shields on the exhaust. If a heat shield was included in the kit, install it. If one is required but not included, call Air Lift customer service at (800) 248-0892.
