PARTS LIST

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations — your new Air Helper Springs are

quality products capable of improving the handling and

comfort of your vehicle. As with all products, proper

installation is the key to obtaining all of the benets your

kit is capable of delivering. Please take a few minutes

to read through the instructions to identify the com-

ponents and learn where and how they are used. It

is a good idea to start by comparing the parts in your kit

with the parts list below.

The heart of the Air Helper Spring kit is, of course,

the air helper springs. Remember that the air helper

springs must ex and expand during operation, so be

sure that there is enough clearance to do so without

rubbing against any other part of the vehicle.

Be sure to take all applicable safety precautions

during the installation of the kit. The instructions listed

in this brochure and the illustrations all show the left,

or driver’s side of the vehicle. To install the right side

assembly simply follow the same procedures.

Your kit includes separate ination valves and air

lines for each air helper spring. This will allow you to

level your vehicle from side to side as well as from front

to back. If you would rather have a single valve ination

system, your dealer can supply the required "T" tting.

IMPORTANT!

For your safety and to prevent possible damage to

your vehicle, do not exceed the maximum load rec-

ommended by the vehicle manufacturer (GVWR).

Although your Air Helper Springs are rated at a max-

imum ination pressure of 100 psi, this pressure may

allow you to carry too great a load on some vehicles.

It is best to have your vehicle weighed once it is com-

pletely loaded and compare that weight to the maxi-

mum allowed. Check your vehicle owner’s manual or

data plate on driver side door for maximum loads listed

for your vehicle.

When inating your Air Helper Springs, add air pressure

in small quantities, checking pressure frequently during

ination. The air spring requires much less air volume

than a tire and, therefore, inates much quicker.
