Yes, the Air Lift Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit 60861 (Part #BBCG60861) is designed to fit the 2021-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L.
The Air Lift Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit 60861 (Part #BBCG60861) fits 2021-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L models. The 2024 model year is the last year covered by this part number. For newer models, check for an updated version.
The Air Lift Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit 60861 (Part #BBCG60861) fits the following vehicles: 2021-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Always verify your specific year, make, and model before ordering.
The Air Lift Air Lift 1000 Air Spring Kit 60861 (Part #BBCG60861) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Yes, the Air Lift 1000 kit MN-1167 (Kit 60861) is designed for the Jeep Grand Cherokee L. The kit provides up to 1,000 pounds (454 kg) of load-leveling support by installing cylinder-style air springs into the vehicle's coil springs.
The air springs are rated at a maximum of 50 PSI (3.45 BAR). However, the actual air pressure needed depends on your load and gross vehicle weight rating. Never inflate beyond 50 PSI, and always maintain normal ride height.
The minimum recommended air pressure is 5 PSI (0.34 BAR). After initial installation and before road testing, inflate the air springs to 5 PSI, then roll the chassis forward and back several times to unload the rear suspension.
Required tools include: pliers, 5/16" and 9/16" drill bits, drill and drill press, hand grinder or Dremel tool with grinding bit, large and small flat nose screwdrivers, metric socket set up to 22 mm, 3/8" and 1/2" drive ratchets, torque wrench (up to 140 lb.-ft.), white China marker or paint pen, soft blow hammer, box cutter, hose cutter or sharp knife, hoist and/or floor jack, two safety stands, safety glasses, air compressor with air gun, and spray bottle with dish soap/water solution.
The kit includes: 2 air springs (46129), 2 spacers (09112), 15 feet of air line (20937), 8 zip ties (10466), 6 air line clamps (10638), 2 treemounts (10868), 2 90-degree treemounts (11173), 2 M8 flat washers (18501), 2 star washers (18411), 2 valve caps (21230), 4 5/16" hex nuts (21233), 2 5/16" flat rubber washers (21234), 1 tee fitting (21236), 2 Schrader valves (21455), 4 hose clamps (10555), 2 air line heat shields (09484), and 2 exhaust heat shields (10613).
Professional installation is recommended if you do not have mechanical skills. The installation requires removing coil springs, modifying the lower spring seat with drilling and grinding, and routing air lines through the vehicle. Extreme caution is required when removing coil springs for safety reasons.
The manual does not specify battery disconnection. However, you will need to unplug the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) wire harness connector during installation and reattach it afterward.
Yes, drilling is required. You must drill a 5/16" pilot hole and then a 9/16" hole through the center of the lower spring seat using a drill press. Additionally, a 5/16" (8 mm) hole must be drilled for the Schrader valve installation if one does not already exist.
The lower spring seat requires several modifications: (1) cut a 1 3/8" (35 mm) hole through the rubber cover on top using a box cutter; (2) drill a 5/16" pilot hole and 9/16" hole through the center using a drill press; (3) on the tall tab side of the top, remove rubber cover material to create a "keyhole"; (4) use a hand grinder or Dremel tool to create a "ramp" for the air line on the keyhole side, grinding halfway down the inside of the hole; (5) flip the seat over and create the same ramp on the bottom side, opposite the flat, halfway up the hole. These modifications are permanent.
Yes, the air line (C) must be cut in two. Make clean, square cuts using a razor blade or hose cutter. Do not use scissors or wire cutters. The air line is then routed from the lower spring seat through the lower spring link and attached to the barbed stem on the air spring.
The lower knuckle/spring link mounting hardware must be torqued to 136 lb.-ft. (184 Nm). This torque is applied after rolling the chassis forward and back several times to unload the rear suspension.
The wheel nuts must be torqued to 130 lb.-ft. (176 Nm).
To disconnect: unplug the EPB wire harness connector and use a large screwdriver or Fir Treemount removal tool to pull the wire harness routing clip from the caliper. Remove the two treemounts holding the wiring harness on the lower spring link. Unbolt the wiring harness bracket from the caliper. To reconnect: reattach the EPB connector, large treemount, and bracket back onto the caliper and tighten the stock hardware securely.
The Schrader valve should be installed in a location that is protected and accessible with an air hose. Recommended locations include: inside rear wheel wells, inside fuel tank filler door, or rear bumper area. The valve must be at least 6 inches (152 mm) away from the exhaust system to prevent air line melting.
Drill a 5/16" (8 mm) hole in the vehicle body or bumper. Install the Schrader valve with the following sequence from outside to inside: valve cap, hex nut, Schrader valve, vehicle body/bumper, flat washer, star washer, rubber washer (which serves as an outside weather seal), nylon air line, and air line clamp. The air line clamp compresses the ears with pliers and slides forward to fully cover the barbs on the valve stem.
The tee fitting (M) is used for single-path air line installations where the vehicle has even weight distribution. It combines the air lines from both left and right air springs into a single line that routes to the Schrader valve. For dual-path installations where unequal pressures are needed to level the load, the tee fitting is eliminated and separate air lines are routed for each air spring.
The air line must maintain at least 6 inches (152 mm) of clearance from the exhaust system to prevent the air line from melting. Heat shields should be installed to protect the air line from heat sources.
At 30 PSI (2 BAR), there must be at least 1/2" (13 mm) clearance from the air springs to anything that might rub, including the tire, brakes, frame, shock absorbers, and brake cables. This must be verified during the clearance test before road testing.
The metal heat shield must be bent so there is at least 1/2" (13 mm) of dead air space between the shield and the exhaust.
Before road testing, perform these checks: (1) Clearance test—inflate to 30 PSI and verify at least 1/2" clearance from tires, brakes, frame, shock absorbers, and brake cables; (2) Leak test—inflate to 30 PSI and check all connections for leaks using soapy water; (3) Heat test—verify at least 6" clearance from heat sources and install heat shields; (4) Fastener test—after 500 miles, recheck all bolts for proper torque; (5) Road test—drive 10 miles and recheck clearance, fasteners, and air leaks.
Inflate the air springs to 30 PSI (2 BAR) and use a spray bottle with a dish soap/water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core for leaks. Bubbles indicate a leak. All leaks must be eliminated before the vehicle is road tested.
Check air pressure weekly. Always maintain normal ride height and never inflate beyond 50 PSI (3.45 BAR). If the system develops an air leak, use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core before deflating and removing the air spring. After 500 miles, recheck all bolts for proper torque.
After 500 miles (800 km), recheck all bolts for proper torque.
No. 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. This is critical for safe and proper operation.

Maintain at least 6 inches (152 mm) clearance from the exhaust system to the air line to prevent melting. Install heat shields as provided.
Perform a clearance test at 30 PSI, leak test using soapy water, heat test to verify 6" clearance from exhaust, and fastener test. After 500 miles, recheck all bolts for proper torque.
Check air pressure weekly, maintain normal ride height, never exceed 50 PSI, and recheck all bolts for proper torque after 500 miles.
Use a spray bottle with a dish soap/water solution to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core for leaks. Bubbles indicate a leak location. All leaks must be eliminated before road testing. If a leak is found, deflate and remove the air spring to repair the connection.
It may be necessary to inflate the spring slightly using an air gun to remove wrinkles. Use small bursts to inflate and do not over-inflate. The spring should assume its molded shape once properly inflated.
