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 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 side of the
vehicle. To install the right side assembly simply follow the
same procedures.
This kit includes inflation valves and air lines for each
air spring. This will allow you to compensate for unbal-
anced loads. If you would rather have a single inflation
valve system to provide equal pressure to both air springs,
your dealer can supply the optional "T" fitting.

!
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 psi, this pressure
may allow you to carry too great a load on some
vehicles. Check your vehicle owner’s manual or
manufacture plate on driver side door for maximum
loads listed for your vehicle.
When inflating your Air Helper Springs, add air
pressure in small quantities, checking pressure fre-
quently 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 psi Improper use or
over inflation may cause property damage or
severe personal injury.

Installation of this kit requires a
minimum of 6" of clearance between the
tire side wall and the vehicle frame and a
1/2" of clearance around the air spring
when inflated.
ATTENTION:
Due to frame to tire clearance, this kit may not
fit vehicles with some brands of 5
th Wheel or
Gooseneck hitches as this kit must be bolted to
the vehicle frame and not the hitch plates.
