NSTALLATION 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 helper 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.

MPORTANT
!
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 inflation. 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
unrestricted. 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.
