6. Fasten the air spring to the lower
plate using a 3/4" x 3/8” bolt, flat washer
and lock washer.
7. Check air spring clearance
throughout suspension travel. Allowing
the air spring to rub will result in
failure and is not a warrantable
situation.
8. The best ride quality will be achieved
with the air spring between 4.5” & 5” tall.
This usually occurs between 80-100 psi
depending on vehicle weight.
4. Apply thread sealant to the air fitting
and screw it into the air spring. Place
the cup bracket on top of the air spring
and tighten with two Nylok nuts and flat
washers.
5. Thread the 8” stud into the nut
welded to the bottom of the cup. Place
the air spring assembly in the coil spring
pocket with the stud protruding though
the factory shock hole. It is held tight
with a 7/16” Nylok and flat washer.
Note: The airline must also be routed at
this time.
3. Place the lower air spring plate onto
the lower control arm. The place is
contoured to the arm and is self-locating.
Make sure the back of the plate is
square with the arm. Drill the holes one
at a time while securing the plate with
3/8” x 1 1/4" bolts, Nylok nuts and two
flat washers.
Note: This is the driver’s side, the lower
shock mount goes to the rear of the arm.
