springs. As a general rule, the air helper springs will support approximately 50 lbs. of load for each psi of inflation
pressure (per pair). For example, 50 psi of inflation pressure will support a load of 2500 lbs. per pair of air helper
springs. FOR BEST RIDE use only enough air pressure in the air helper springs to level the vehicle when viewed
from the side (front to rear). This amount will vary depending on the load, location of load, condition of existing sus-
pension and personal preference.
NOTE: Too much air pressure in the air helper springs will result in a firmer ride, while too little air pressure will
allow the air helper spring to bottom out over rough conditions. Too little air pressure will not provide the improve-
ment in handling that is possible. TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE MAINTAIN A MINIMUM OF 5 psi IN THE
AIR HELPER SPRINGS AT ALL TIMES.
NOTE:
Once the air helper springs are installed, it is recommended that the vehicle not be lifted by
the frame, as over-extension may occur, resulting in damage to the air helper springs. However, should
it become necessary to raise the vehicle by the frame, deflate both air helper springs completely.
