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.
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 unbal-
anced 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
maximum loads listed for your vehicle.
When inflating your Air Helper Springs, add air pres-
sure in small quantities, checking pressure frequently
during inflation. The air spring requires much less air
volume than a tire and, therefore, inflates much quicker.
