STEP 1— AIR SPRING PREPARATION (Part # 6130)
Remove the inflation valve cap from the inflation valve on
the air spring. Using the valve cap as a core tool from the
inflation valve, remove the inflation valve core from the air
spring. Exhaust the air spring by pushing it flat then re-insert
the valve core back into the air spring to keep it collapsed.
STEP 2—INSTALLING THE AIR SPRING
Insert the top of the flattened air spring into the coil spring
through the lowest opening with the inflation valve inlet at
the top as shown in Figure “A”.
STEP 3—ADJUSTING THE AIR SPRING
Push the air spring up into the coil spring by hand or with
a blunt tool. 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 valve core to let the air back into the air spring.
Allow the air spring to return to its normal shape.
Install the spacer on top of the air spring. See Figure
“B”. Once the weight of the vehicle is applied to the sus-
pension aid the air springs are pressurized, the spacer will
stay in place.
STEP 4 — PREASSEMBLY OF THE WORK-RITE
(Part # 1258)
Select one Work-Rite load assist and one face plate (Part
# 5641) for the kit. Attach the Work-Rite to the face plate
using the 3/8"-16 x 1" hex bolt, flat washer, and lock nut.
See Figure “C”.
NOTE: An optional spacer may be installed to engage
the Work-Rite sooner when a load is applied. To install,
place between the Work-Rite and the face plate. If
the spacers are installed, use the 3/8"-16 x 2" bolts
instead of the 3/8"-16 x 1" bolts. There should be 1/4"
to 3/8" between the Work-Rite and the jounce stop.
See Figure “D”.
STEP 5— INSTALLING THE ASSEMBLY ONTO
THE VEHICLE
Select one spacer ring from your kit and place it around
the jounce bumper cup. Place the assembly against the
bottom of the jounce bumper cup and align the holes in
the face plate with the holes in the spacer ring. Place the
clamp rings on top of the space ring, aligning the holes.
Insert the 3/8"-16 x 1-1/2" flat head bolts into the tapered
holes on the face plate and secure to the clamp ring with
the flange lock nuts. See Figures “C” & “D”.
STEP 6— REATTACH THE SHOCK ABSORBER
Attach shock absorbers if removed earlier in the installation.
Torque to manufactures specifications.
STEP 7— ROUTE THE AIR LINE
Cut the remaining air line tubing into two equal lengths
(cut the tubing as squarely as possible). Select a location
for the inflation valves in a protected area, such as the
bumper or fuel fill floor ( Note: The inflation valve will be
installed in Step 8).
Insert the air line tubing into the push-to-connect fitting
on the air spring as far as possible. Route the tubing 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 kit.
