Congratulations - your new Air Helper Springs are quality
products capable of improving the handling and comfort of
your vehicle. As with all products, proper installation is the
key to obtaining all of the benefits your kit is capable of
delivering. Please take a few minutes to read through the
instructions to identify the components and learn where and
how they are used. It is a good idea to start by comparing the
parts in your kit with the parts list below.
The heart of the air spring kit is, of course, the air helper
springs. Remember that the air helper springs must flex and
expand during operation, so be sure that there is enough
clearance to do so without rubbing against any other part of
the vehicle.
Be sure to take all applicable safety precautions during the
installation of the kit. The instructions listed in this brochure
and the illustrations all show the left, or driver’s side of the
vehicle. To install the right side assembly simply follow the
same procedures.
This kit includes inflation valves and air lines for each air
spring. This will allow you to compensate for unbalanced
loads. If you would rather have a single inflation valve system
to provide equal pressure to both air springs, your dealer can
supply the optional "T" fitting.

For your safety and to prevent possible damage to your
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum load recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer (GVWR). Although your Air Helper
Springs are rated at a maximum inflation pressure of 100 psi,
this pressure may allow you to carry too great a load on some
vehicles. It is best to have your vehicle weighed once it is
completely loaded and compare that weight to the maximum
allowed. Check your vehicle owner’s manual or data plate
on driver side door for maximum loads listed for your vehicle.
When inflating your Air Helper Springs, add air pressure
in small quantities, checking pressure frequently during
inflation. The air spring requires much less air volume than
a tire and, therefore, inflates much quicker.
WARNING:
Do not inflate this assembly when it is
unrestricted. The assembly must be restricted by
the suspension or other adequate structure. Do
not inflate beyond 100 psi. Improper use or over
inflation may cause property damage or severe
personal injury.
