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 kit is, of course, the air springs. Remember

that the air helper springs must flex and expand during opera-

tion, 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 P.S.I.,

this pressure may allow you to carry too great a load on some

vehicles. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for maximum

loads listed for your vehicle.

When inflating your air helper springs, add air pressure in

small quantities, checking pressure frequently during infla-

tion. The air spring requires much less air volume than a tire

and, therefore, inflates much quicker.

WARNING!

Do not inflate this assembly when it is unre-

stricted. The assembly must be restricted by the

suspension or other adequate structure. Do not

inflate beyond 100 P.S.I. Improper use or over

inflation may cause property damage or severe

personal injury.
