AIR LINE INSTALLATION

Figure “C”

PLEASE TAKE ALL NECESSARY SAFETY

PRECAUTIONS WHEN INSTALLING

YOUR COIL-RITE KIT.

STEP 5 ROUTE THE AIR LINE

Cut the remaining air line tubing into two equal lengths

(cut the tubing as squarely as possible). Select a loca-

tion for the inflation valves in a protected area, such as

the bumper or trunk floor (

Note: The inflation valve will

be installed in

Step 6).

Insert the air line tubing into the push-to-connect

fitting on the air spring as far as possible. Route the tub-

ing from the air spring to the inflation valve, making sure

to avoid direct heat from the engine, exhaust pipe and

away from sharp edges. Secure with nylon ties provided

in your Coil-Rite kit.

STEP 6 INSTALL THE AIR LINE AND

INFLATION VALVE

Select a location on the vehicle for the air inflation

valves. The location can be located on the bumper or

the body of the vehicle, as long as it is in a protected

location so the valve will not be damaged, but maintain

accessibility for the air chuck

see Figure “C”. Drill a

5/16" hole and install the air inflation valve using two

5/16" flat washers per valve as supports

see Figure

“D”.

FOLLOW STEPS 1-6 FOR

THE OTHER AIR SPRING.

STEP 7 INFLATE AND TEST

Inflate the air springs to recommended operating pres-

sure (see page 1 for operating pressures). With a soap

and water solution, check for air leaks around the fittings

and valve core. We recommend inflating and deflating in

5 p.s.i. increments to find the ideal riding condition for

your vehicle.

STEP 8 COMPLETION

This now completes the installation. Install the wheels

and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturers specifica-

tions. Raise the vehicle and remove the jack stands and

lower the vehicle back onto the ground.

NOTE:

Check air pressure on a monthly basis.
