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 right, or
passenger’s side of the vehicle. To install the left 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.

!
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 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 P.S.I. Improper use
or over inflation may cause property damage or
severe personal injury.
