VEHICLE PREPARATION
With the vehicle on a solid level surface chock the
wheels and raise the rear of the vehicle using a jack
rated for your vehicles weight to lift the wheels off the
surface. Remove the wheels. Lower the vehicle frame
onto jack stands rated for your vehicles weight making
sure the suspension is fully extended. (Do NOT use
wood or concrete blocks to support the weight of
the vehicle.)
There is a rubber isolator covering the lower spring
seat. Using a razor knife, cut a hole in the center of the
isolator to allow the air line to pass through. See Figure
“A”.
If necessary, additional clearance between the coil
turns may be obtained by removing the shock absorb-
ers from the lower shock mounts and lowering the sus-
pension an additional one to two inches. (CAUTION:
Do not put strain or tension on the flexible brake
line.)
STEP 1 — AIR SPRING PREPARATION
Cut a section of air line tubing approximately three
inches in length. (Cut the tubing as squarely as pos-
sible.) Install the tubing into the push-to-connect air inlet
on the air spring. Exhaust the air from the air spring
by rolling it up toward the air inlet. After all the air is
removed from the air spring install the hose plug into
the end of the hose as shown in Figure “B”.
STEP 2 — INSTALLING THE AIR SPRING
Insert the top of the flattened air spring into the coil
spring through the lowest opening with the push-to-
connect air inlet at the bottom as shown in Figure “B”.
STEP 3 — ADJUSTING THE AIR SPRING
Push the air spring up into the coil spring by hand or
with a blunt tool, such as a spoon shaped tire iron. Do
NOT use anything with sharp edges or corners as this
may damage the air spring.
When the air spring is completely within the coil
spring, remove the plug and three inch tubing section
of line by pushing the collar on the fitting towards the air
spring and pulling on the tubing to remove. Allow the air
spring to return to its normal shape.
Install the upper and lower supports above and
below the air spring as shown in Figure “C”.
STEP 4—REATTACH THE SHOCK ABSORBER
Attach shock absorbers if removed earlier in the instal-
lation.
