ASSEMBLING THE AIR SPRINGS
1. Place a 3/8"-16 x 3"carriage bolt (O) through the inner most square hole on the rear
side of each lower bracket (B) (Fig. D.11).
The radiused (rounded) edge of the roll plate (F) will be toward the air spring so that the air
spring is seated inside the roll plate.
2. Install a lower bracket (B) and roll plate (F) on each air spring (E) using two 3/8"-24
x 3/4" flat head socket cap screws (S) through the innermost mounting holes (Fig.
D.12). Torque the flathead screws to no more than 20 lb.-ft. (27Nm) (Fig. D.12).
3. Install the 90 degree swivel elbow fitting (R) into the top of each air spring finger tight.
Tighten the swivel fittings an additional one and a half turns (Fig. D.12).
4. Attach the upper roll plates (F) and upper brackets (A) to the air springs (E) using two
3/8"-24 x 7/8" bolts (T), two 3/8" lock washers (U) and two 3/8" flat washers (V) for
each assembly (Fig. D.13). Torque bolts to no more than 20 lb.-ft. (27Nm). These
brackets are not left or right hand specific (Fig. D.14).
5. With the bracket installed, ensure the swivel fitting is less than 7/8" in height, and if
not, tighten the fitting until this height is achieved (Fig. D.15).
