PARTS LIST
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations - your new air helper springs are quality
products capable of improving the handling and com-
fort of your vehicle. As with all products, proper installa-
tion 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 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 right or
passenger’s side of the vehicle. To install the left 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
unbalanced 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" fit-
ting.

!
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 pres-
sure 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 side
door for maximum loads listed for your vehicle.
When inflating your air helper springs, add air pres-
sure 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 psi.
Improper use or over inflation may cause
property damage or severe personal injury.
