Yes, the Air Lift AIR LIFT 1000 air spring kit. 60750 (Part #BBCG60750) is designed to fit the 1964-1966 Buick Skylark.
The Air Lift AIR LIFT 1000 air spring kit. 60750 (Part #BBCG60750) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
The Air Lift MN-159 is an air cylinder system designed to be inserted into coil springs on cars, vans, light trucks and motorhomes. It allows you to adjust suspension height and load-carrying capacity by inflating the air cylinders to a desired pressure between 5 and 25 PSI. The system helps level the vehicle and improve ride comfort when carrying loads.
No. The Air Lift MN-159 is designed for cars, vans, light trucks and motorhomes with coil spring suspensions under normal operating conditions. The manual does not specify which makes, models or years are compatible. Contact Air Lift at 1-800-248-0892 or check the product catalog to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.
No. Adding air springs will not change the weight ratings (GAWR, GCWR or GVWR) of your vehicle. You must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's maximum GVWR, as doing so is dangerous and voids the Air Lift warranty.
The manual specifies a blunt instrument such as a spoon-type tire iron to push the flattened air cylinder up within the coil spring, and pliers to compress and slide the air line clamps. A drill with a 5/16" bit is required to drill the hole for the inflation valve. Any type of air compressor capable of producing sufficient pressure is needed to inflate the system; even a bicycle tire pump can be used.
Air cylinders are shipped in a flattened 'as molded' shape. Remove the plastic cap from the barbed stem on the end of the cylinder. Push on the air cylinder to evacuate as much air as possible; it may be rolled up toward the valve stem. Replace the cap on the stem to maintain the flat shape until you are ready to insert it into the coil spring.
Lower the axle or raise the body of the vehicle until the suspension is fully extended before beginning installation. This provides the clearance needed to insert the flattened air cylinder into the coil spring.
Shock absorber removal is optional and only necessary if additional clearance between the coil is needed. If you do remove them to lower the suspension an additional one to two inches, observe tension on the brake air line and do not strain it. You must reattach the shock absorbers after completing the air line routing and before inflating the system.
With the suspension fully extended, insert the flattened air cylinder into the coil spring through the lowest opening with the stem at the top. Push the cylinder up within the coil by hand or with a blunt instrument such as a spoon-type tire iron. When the cylinder is completely within the coil, remove the cap and allow the cylinder to assume its 'as molded' shape. Push the cylinder to the bottom of the coil and insert the protector on top of the air cylinder.
Tee air line installation is recommended for most vehicles and uses a single tee fitting to supply both left and right air cylinders with equal pressure from one inflation valve. Dual air line routing uses separate inflation valves and air lines for each side, allowing unequal pressures to be set independently. Use dual air lines only if weight in the vehicle varies from one side to the other and unequal pressures are needed to level the load or compensate for axle torque transfer.
Follow this procedure for all air line connections: (1) Slide an air line clamp onto the air line. (2) Push the air line over the barbed stem, covering all the barbs. (3) With pliers, compress the ears on the air line clamp and slide it forward to fully cover the barbed section. Repeat this process for each connection point.
Route the air line along the cross member and either the lower control arm or upper spring seat to reach the air cylinder. Keep the air line at least 8 inches from the exhaust system to prevent melting. Leave sufficient slack in the air line to prevent any strain on fittings during axle motions. Attach the air line to the frame using plastic straps or wire.
Yes. You must drill a 5/16" hole to mount the inflation valve. The location options are the gas cap well, trunk, rear bumper, fender flange, behind the license plate, or rocker panel flange (for dual systems). Choose a location that will protect the valve and keep it accessible with an air hose.
The only permanent modification is the 5/16" hole drilled for the inflation valve. All other components—air cylinders, air lines, clamps, protectors and valves—can be removed without permanently altering the vehicle.
Minimum air pressure is 5 PSI and maximum air pressure is 25 PSI. You must maintain at least 5 PSI at all times to prevent chafing or coil pinch. Failure to maintain minimum pressure will void the warranty.
Drill a 5/16" hole for the inflation valve. The valve is mounted with a rubber washer on the outside for weather seal, a flat washer, a lock washer and a hex nut.
You must maintain a minimum of 5 PSI air pressure at all times. The minimum air pressure keeps the air spring in shape, ensuring that it will move throughout its travel without rubbing or wearing on itself. Failure to maintain minimum pressure will void the warranty.
Check the pressure weekly. Regular pressure checks help ensure the system maintains the minimum 5 PSI required to prevent chafing or coil pinch and to keep the air spring in proper shape.
Inflate your air springs to 25 PSI before adding the payload. This will allow the air cylinder to properly mesh with the coil spring. After the vehicle is loaded, adjust your air pressure downward to level the vehicle and for ride comfort.
When carrying a payload, increase the tire inflation pressure in proportion to the overload condition. Air Lift recommends a 2 PSI increase above normal tire pressure (not to exceed the tire manufacturer's maximum) for each 100 lbs of additional load on the axle.
After routing the air lines, raise the axle or lower the body until the air cylinders lightly touch the lower spring seat and upper protectors. Check that the tailpipe clearance is at least 2–3 inches from the air cylinder. If necessary, loosen clamps and rotate or move the air line to obtain additional clearance. If a heat shield is provided, install it.
Before inflating, ensure that the air cylinders lightly touch the lower spring seat and upper protectors, the tailpipe clearance is at least 2–3 inches from the air cylinders, all air line connections are secure, and shock absorbers have been reattached if they were removed. Do not inflate until you have read the maintenance and operating tips.
If the air springs are properly installed and maintained, they can last indefinitely. Proper maintenance includes checking pressure weekly, maintaining at least 5 PSI at all times, and following all installation and operating instructions.
If you develop an air leak, use a soapy water solution to check all air line connections and the valve core before removing the cylinder. This will help you identify where the leak is occurring so you can address it without unnecessary disassembly.
Yes, the vehicle can be lifted on a hoist for short-term service work such as tire rotation or oil changes. However, if the vehicle will be on the hoist for a prolonged period, support the axle with jack stands to take the tension off the air springs.
If the vehicle's headlights are shining into the trees or the vehicle is leaning to one side, raise the air pressure to correct the problem and level the vehicle. Start with the vehicle level or slightly above, and when in doubt, add air.
A rough and harsh ride may be due to either too much pressure or not enough. Try different pressures to determine the best ride comfort. If the vehicle rocks and rolls, adjust the air pressure to reduce movement. It may be necessary to maintain different pressures on each side of the vehicle depending on load distribution.
If the front of the vehicle dives while braking, increase the pressure in the front air bags if equipped. Stability issues including dive during braking usually require an increase in pressure.
If you suspect the air cylinders have bottomed out, increase the pressure. Bottoming out is a stability issue that usually requires an increase in pressure to resolve.
The MN-159 is designed for cars, vans, light trucks and motorhomes with coil spring suspensions. Contact Air Lift at 1-800-248-0892 to confirm fitment for your specific make, model and year.
You need a blunt instrument (such as a spoon-type tire iron), pliers, a drill with a 5/16" bit, and an air compressor (any type capable of producing sufficient pressure).
Minimum 5 PSI, maximum 25 PSI. Always maintain at least 5 PSI to prevent chafing or coil pinch.
Inflate to 25 PSI before adding the payload to allow the air cylinder to properly mesh with the coil spring. After loading, adjust pressure downward to level the vehicle and for ride comfort.
Ensure the tailpipe is at least 2–3 inches from the air cylinder. Air lines must be at least 8 inches from the exhaust system to prevent melting.
