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 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 left, or driver’s side of the
vehicle. To install the right 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" 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 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
pressure 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.
