MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
By following the steps below, vehicle owners will obtain the longest life and best results from
their air springs.
1 . Check air pressure weekly .
2 . Always maintain normal ride height . Never inflate beyond 100 PSI .
3 . If the system develops an air leak, use a soapy water solution (1/5 liquid dish soap
and 4/5 water) to check all air line connections and the inflation valve core before
deflating and removing the air spring .
FOR SAFETY AND TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, DO NOT
EXCEED MAXIMUM GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR), AS INDICATED BY
THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER . ALTHOUGH THE AIR SPRINGS ARE RATED AT
A MAXIMUM INFLATION PRESSURE OF 100 PSI, THE AIR PRESSURE ACTUALLY
NEEDED IS DEPENDENT ON LOAD AND GVWR .
4 . Loaded vehicles require at least 25 PSI . A “loaded vehicle” refers to a vehicle with a
heavy bed load, a trailer or both . Never exceed GVWR, regardless of air spring, air
pressure or other load assist . The springs in this kit will support approximately 40 pounds
of load (combined on both springs) for each 1 PSI of pressure . The required air pressure
will vary depending on the state of the original suspension . Operating the vehicle below
the minimum air spring pressure will void the Air Lift warranty .
5 . When increasing load, always adjust air pressure to maintain normal ride height . Increase
or decrease pressure from the system as necessary to attain normal ride height for
optimal ride and handling . Remember that loads carried behind the axle (including
tongue loads) require more leveling force (pressure) than those carried directly over the
axle .
6 . Always add air to springs in small quantities, checking the pressure frequently .
7 . Should it become necessary to raise the vehicle by the frame, make sure the
system is at minimum pressure (5 PSI) to reduce the tension on the suspension/
brake components . Use of on-board leveling systems do not require deflation or
disconnection .
8 . Periodically check the air spring system fasteners for tightness . Also, check the air
springs for any signs of rubbing . Realign if necessary .
9 . On occasion, give the air springs a hard spray with a garden hose to remove mud,
sand, gravel or other debris .
