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 benefits your kit is capable of

delivering. Please take a few minutes to read through the

instructions to identify the components 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 spring kit is, of course, the air helper

springs. Remember that the air helper springs must flex 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 inflation 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 inflation system, your

dealer can supply the required "T" fitting.

IMPORTANT!

For your safety and to prevent possible damage to your

vehicle, do not exceed the maximum load recommended by

the vehicle manufacturer (GVWR). Although your Air Helper

Springs are rated at a maximum inflation 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 completely loaded and compare that weight to

the maximum allowed. Check your vehicle owner’s manual

or data plate on driver side door for maximum loads

listed for your vehicle.

When inflating your Air Helper Springs, add air pressure

in small quantities, checking pressure frequently during

inflation. The air spring requires much less air volume than

a tire and, therefore, inflates much quicker.

NOTE:

Please read through this manual completely before

installing the air spring kit to your vehicle. A heat shield

will be required on the exhaust side of the vehicle.
