Tools Needed
IMPORTANT:
Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear brake proportioning valve. Any type of load assist product could
affect brake performance. We recommend that you check with your dealer before installing this type of product. If your
vehicle DOES NOT have a rear brake proportioning valve or is equipped with an anti-lock type brake system, installation
of a load assist product will have NO EFFECT ON BRAKE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE.
IMPORTANT:
Failure to maintain correct minimum pressure (or pressure proportional to load), bottoming out,
overextension, or rubbing against another component will void the warranty.
DANGER:
Compressed air can cause injury and damage to the vehicle and parts if it is not handled properly. For your
safety, do not try to inflate the air springs until they have been properly secured to the vehicle.
