PARTS LIST
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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. If you have to remind your-
self “lefty loosey, righty tighty,” please do not proceed
with the installation.
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 right,
or passenger'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.
IMPORTANT!
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 maxi-
mum loads listed for your vehicle.
When inflating your Air Helper Springs, add air
pressure in small quantities, checking pressure fre-
quently 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.
