2.  Place the spacer between the fenderwell liner and the fenderwell at the center hole in 

the fenderwell liner (the hole nearest the air spring). Attach using the

” Hex Head Cap 

Screw (HHCS), the 

10

32

” flat washers, and 

1

/

” nyloc nut provided (fig. 19).

Fasten the HHCS with the washer and nut behind the fenderwell (fig. 19). Tighten 
securely.

3.  Replace  the  remaining  fenderwell  liner  rivets  carefully.  Push  the  rivets  through  the 

fenderwell liner by hand. They should push through completely (fig. 20).

4.  From the opposite side, use a rubber mallet and carefully tap the rivet posts back into 

the rivets in order to secure them properly (fig. 21).  Repeat this process for all remaining 

rivets.

CHECKING FOR LEAKS

1.  Inflate the air spring to 30 PSI.  
2.  Spray all connections and the inflation valves with a solution of 

1

/

5

 liquid dish soap and 

4

/

water to check for leaks. You should be able to spot leaks easily by looking for bubbles 

in the soapy water.  

3.  After the test, deflate the springs to the minimum pressure required to restore the normal 

ride height, but not less than 10 PSI.

4.  Check the air pressure again after 24 hours. A 2 - 4 PSI loss after initial installation is 

normal. Retest for leaks if the loss is more than 5 lbs.
