Installation Instructions

WARNING:

Do not inate this assembly when it is

unrestricted. The assembly must be restricted

by a coil spring. Do not ever inate beyond

recommended operating pressure for your

specic vehicle. Improper use or over ination

may cause property damage or severe

personal injury.

RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURES

PASSENGER CARS, CUVs AND VANS 5–35 PSI

STEP 1 — PREPARE THE VEHICLE

Remove the negative battery cable. With the vehicle on

a solid level surface chock the front wheels. Raise the

rear of the vehicle using a lift or platform jack rated for

your vehicle's weight. Remove the rear wheels. Lower the

vehicle onto jack stands rated for your vehicle's weight,

making sure the suspension is fully extended. Do NOT

use wood or concrete blocks to support the weight of

the vehicle.

STEP 2 — SHOCK ABSORBERS

If necessary, additional clearance between the coil spring

turns may be obtained by removing the shock absorbers

from the lower mounts and lowering the suspension an

additional one to two inches. Do not put strain or tension

on the exible brake line.

NOTE:

If your vehicle is equipped with vibration dampers

between the turns of the coil, it is necessary that

these be removed before installing the air springs.

STEP 3 — PREPARE THE AIR SPRING

Remove one air spring from your Coil-Rite kit. Depress

the valve stem and deate the air spring as much as pos-

sible. After deating the air spring roll it tightly lengthwise

and hold in that position.

STEP 4 — INSTALL THE AIR SPRING

Insert the top of the attened air spring into the coil spring

through the lowest opening of the coil spring with the air

inlet at the bottom of the coil spring, see Figure "A".

STEP 5 — ADJUST THE AIR SPRING

Push the air spring up into the coil spring by hand or with

a blunt tool, such as a 1/2" socket extension. Do NOT

use any thing with sharp edges or corners, as this may

damage the air spring.

Once the air spring is completely inside the coil

spring depress the valve stem and allow the air spring

to return to its normal position.

Insert the lower support between the air spring and

the lower spring seat, see Figure “B”.

STEP 6 — REATTACH THE SHOCK ABSORBER

Remove the tubing from the hose kit and cut it into two

equal lengths (cut the tubing as squarely as possible).

Select a location for the ination valves in a protected

area, such as: under the hood or on the bumper (Note:

ination valve will be installed in Step 8).

Attach the elbow tting to the air spring nger tight.

Route the air line from the air spring to the desired loca-

tion of the ination valve, see Figure “C”.

STEP 7 — HOSE ATTACHMENT TO THE VEHICLE

With the tubing routed from the air spring to the location

of the ination valve. Use the nylon ties supplied, secure

the air line tubing to the vehicle as shown in Figure "C".

Be careful to avoid heat and sharp edges when fastening

the tubing to the vehicle. Stay away from the radiator and

exhaust system.
