Clearance test — Inflate the air springs to 75-90 PSI and make sure there is at least 
1/2” clearance from anything that might rub against each sleeve . Be sure to check 
the tire, brakes, frame, shock absorbers and brake cables .

 

Leak test before road test — Inflate the air springs to 75-90 PSI and check all 
connections for leaks . All leaks must be eliminated before the vehicle is road tested .

 

Heat test — Be sure there is sufficient clearance from heat sources, at least 6” for 
air springs and air lines . If a heat shield was included in the kit, install it . If there is no 
heat shield, but one is required, call Air Lift customer service at 

(800) 248-0892 .

 

Fastener test — Recheck all bolts for proper torque .

 

Road test — The vehicle should be road tested after the preceding tests . Inflate the 
springs to recommended driving pressures . Drive the vehicle 10 miles and recheck 
for clearance, loose fasteners and air leaks .

 

Operating instructions — If professionally installed, the installer should review the 
operating instructions with the owner . Be sure to provide the owner with all of the 
paperwork that came with the kit .

 

Overnight leak down test — Recheck air pressure after the vehicle has been used 
for 24 hours . If the pressure has dropped more than 5 PSI, then there is a leak that 
must be fixed . Either fix the leak yourself or return to the installer for service .

 

Air pressure requirements — It is important to understand the air pressure 
requirements of the air spring system . Regardless of load, the air pressure should 
always be adjusted to maintain adequate ride height at all times while driving .

 

Thirty-day or 500-mile test —Recheck the air spring system after 30 days or 500 
miles, whichever comes first . If any part shows signs of rubbing or abrasion, the 
source should be identified and moved, if possible . If it is not possible to relocate 
the cause of the abrasion, the air spring may need to be remounted . If professionally 
installed, the installer should be consulted . Check all fasteners for tightness .
