Provided in the basic air spring kit are two fill valves, the most common place to
install them is to replace the license plate fasteners with the fill valves. Alternative
-
ly, two holes can be drilled in a convenient location. Install one airline provided,
route the nylon hose to an air spring fitting, cut the hose and connect to the air
spring fitting. Repeat with the other fill valve. Secure airlines with the tie-straps
provided away from moving items and heat sources.
If an in cab inflation kit is being installed, follow the instructions provided with it.
NOTE:
This kit contains push to connect fittings, using scissors or wire cutters
to cut the nylon airline will distort the line and cause the connection to leak. THE
AIRLINE MUST BE CUT OFF SQUARELY WITH A SHARP RAZOR KNIFE.
Moisten the end of the airline prior to inserting it into the fitting and push it in
until it stops.
IMPORTANT! Double check all the fasteners are torqued to specification.

LEAK CHECK
Inflate both the air springs to 90 PSI, use a dish soap and water mixture on all
airline connections to detect air leaks. Repair as necessary and retest. Inflate your
air springs to a predetermined value, then the following day recheck the pressure,
if one or both the air springs have lost pressure a leak is present, the leak must be
repaired, then retest until no leaks exist.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Retorque all the fasteners after the first 500 miles of driving.
