Part A Air Spring Installation

1. Prepare vehicle for installation by
chocking front tires and setting emer-
gency brake. Before starting installa-
tion, measure the distance from the top
of rear wheel to fender lip as shown.
This is the original ride height of the ve-
hicle. Write this measurement down as
this will be used to set the height of the
air springs later in the installation.

2. For ease of installation, posi-
tion the rear wheels on automo-
tive ramps. Ensure vehicle is
secure and disconnect shock
absorbers from rear axle. Raise
vehicle frame until coil springs
are unloaded. Support frame
with jack stands and remove
coil springs and insulators from
vehicle. Do not remove bump
stops from frame.
