NSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Congratulations - your new Ride-Rite 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 Ride-Rite 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 illustrations all
show the left, or driver’s side of the vehicle. To install
the right side assembly simply follow the same proce-
dures.
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 Ride-Rite 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 Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs,
add air pressure in small quantities, checking pres-
sure frequently during inflation. The air spring
requires much less air volume than a tire and, there-
fore, inflates much quicker.
