PARTS LIST
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 Air Helper 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.
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.
IMPORTANT!
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.
