10. Recheck all fasteners for proper torque and ensure adequate clearance to all vehicle com-
ponents – exhaust, brake hoses, brake lines, shocks, differential, etc. Make sure that passenger
side panhard bolt will not contact air spring during use. A minimum of 1/2” clearance is re-
quired. If necessary, remove and re-install panhard bolt with bolt head facing air spring to
provide clearance.

11.Select a location for the air inflation valves. The location can be on the bumper or body of
the vehicle where an air chuck can be used to inflate the air springs. Select a location
where the valve will not be damaged or interfere with the operation of other components.
12.Cut air brake lines to length and connect air lines to fittings by pushing the air line into the
air fittings as far as possible. A length of heat shielding is provided to protect the air line as
it exits the passenger side air spring.
13. Inflate air springs to 40 psi and check for leaks. A soapy water solution can be used to find
slow leaks.
14.When satisfied with integrity of the system, adjust air pressure to desired level. The air
springs can be inflated to any level between 25 and 100 psi. DO NOT run the air springs
empty or warranty will be void. Failure to keep air in the air springs will void the warranty.
For best RIDE use only enough air pressure as required to level the vehicle. If a firmer ride
is desired, more pressure can be used.
15.
CHECK AIR PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM DAILY TO ENSURE SYSTEM PER-
FORMANCE AND MAINTENANCE OF WARRANTY. Just like tires, the air pressure
in the system will vary due to temperature changes. For your air spring system to function
properly it must be checked on a daily basis. Failure to maintain air pressure will result in
