BUILDING THE AIR SPRING ASSEMBLIES
1. Set a roll plate (E) over the top of the air spring (D) (fig. 12).
The radiused (rounded) edge of the roll plate (E) will be toward the air spring so that the air
spring is seated inside both roll plates.
2. Install the swivel fitting (F) into the top of the air spring finger tight plus one and a
half turns. Do not overtighten.
3. Install the upper bracket (A or B) onto the air spring (D) using four flat-head screws
(G) (fig. 13). Torque to no more than 20 lb.-ft. (27Nm).
4. Install the lower bracket (C) onto the bottom of the air spring using the flat-head
screws (G) (fig. 14). Torque to no more than 20 lb.-ft. (27Nm).
The arrow on the lower bracket points to the opposite side of the fitting on the air spring
assembly (outboard toward the tire).
