I'm trying to purchase the same Airlift 1000 rear air bags that I had on my 2001 EX. Century Performance (the vendor who sold me my first kit) tells me that Airlift just released their newest listings, and show their air bags only fit through the 2005 model year.

Has the rear set-up on the Ody changed since 2005? Has anyone out there installed the Airlift 1000 on a 2007?

Is ARL 60740 the same part number for the 2007?

Thanks.

Thanks for the advice to read the thread.
I've read the thread, and while Jerry O states that the same part fits all Gen 1, 2, and 3 Odysseys, Airlift doesn't list 06 and 07 in their catalog.

My question remains. Has anyone installed Airlift 60740 on a 2007 Odyssey?

Well if you read the thread linked, Jerry has installed that kit on an 06. The only difference between an 06 and an 07 is the transmission. It's a front wheel drive car, the transmission is in the front.

The Airlift 1000 kit has been installed on my 07 EX-L, and the installation, as several of you have been trying to tell me, was identical to the Gen 1 and Gen 2 Odyssey, DESPITE what EVERY dealership in the metropolitan DC area told me.

I suppose, as an "inside the beltway" resident, I need to give the disclaimer that "your results might vary", and that you'll have to see for yourself, until Airlift decides to put their official stamp of approval on it. It probably won't matter, but I'll be contacting them as well...

The installation of the dual-gauge compressor switch in the lowest console bin works and looks great, as well. Having control over each side makes a noticeable difference in the handling of the van.

Once again, as with my '01, I'm amazed at the handling difference. There's no deterioration in the ride quality, but the cornering is considerably sharper. It'll never be a match for my '93 Audi S-4, but I will have to be careful to remind myself that it's still a van!!

Thanks again to all you folks for listening, and offering, advice. Now, I just need to find someplace to tuck my ScangaugeII so that I can get a real-time reading of coolant temp while towing...

Glad to hear you got the 'bags installed. You can take a look at my ScanGauge II installation on the Honda and Aftermarket Accessories forum. I works well for us.

Rather than starting a new thread ... I assume that the same airlift part number would fit an 08? I dont think there have been any chnages to the rear springs from 05-08...I had them on my 05 and want to do the same with my 08.

As with other model years, Airlift will not say that the bags are correct unless they have personally installed them on one. So you get to be the first 08er. Do report back.
