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 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 the vehicle
left-to-right. 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 heavy of a load on
some vehicles. Check your vehicle's 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 springs require much less air volume than a tire and,
therefore, inflate much more quickly.

ARNING
:
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.
