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 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 helper spring kit is, of course, the

air 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

recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (GVWR).

Although your Air Helper Springs are rated at a maximum

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 completely loaded

and compare that weight to the maximum allowed. Check

your vehicle owner’s manual or data plate on driver's side

door for maximum loads listed for your vehicle.

When inating your Air Helper Springs, add air pres-

sure 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.
