axle and remove the jack stands. Lower the vehicle to the ground. Re-attach the negative battery cable and remove
the wheel chocks from the front wheels. Check again to be sure you have the proper clearance around the air
springs. With a load on your vehicle and the air helper springs inflated, you must have at least 1/2" clearance around
the air springs. As a general rule, the Air Helper Springs will support approximately 50 pounds of load for each psi
of inflation pressure (per pair). For example, 50 psi of inflation pressure will support a load of 2500 pounds 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 suspension 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 also not provide the improvement
in handling that is possible. TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE MAINTAIN A MINIMUM OF 10 PSI IN THE AIR
HELP SPRINGS AT ALL TIMES.
NOTE:
Once the air helper springs are installed, it is recommended that the vehicles not be lifted by the frame, as over-
extension may occur, resulting in damage to the air helper springs. If it should it become necessary to raise the
vehicle by the frame deflate both air helper springs.
