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.
