Air Lift 1000
INSTALLING THE AIR SPRING
1. Place the air bag and the top and bottom protectors in the coil spring (Fig. C.4). The
top protector is the thinner one.
2. Install coil spring and air cylinder assembly, placing it on the lower spring seat first
with air line going through lower protector and control arm (Fig. C.5). Push the top of
coil into upper spring seat.
13. Raise axle back to starting position. Re-attach the shock and torque to manufacturer's
specification.
14. Move the left jack stand under axle and the right jack stand under frame and repeat
steps 4 through 13 to install the right side.
Check exhaust clearance. There must be 3-4 inches between the air bag and the exhaust
or the heat from the exhaust could damage it. If there is insufficient clearance, contact Air
Lift customer service to obtain a heat shield kit.
