3. Drill a
5
/
16
“ hole to install the inflation valves.
4. Cut the air line assembly (AA) in two equal lengths.
WHEN CUTTING OR TRIMMING THE AIR LINE, USE A HOSE CUTTER (AIR LIFT P/N
10530), A RAZOR BLADE OR A SHARP KNIFE. A CLEAN, SQUARE CUT WILL ENSURE
AGAINST LEAKS. DO NOT USE WIRE CUTTERS OR SCISSORS TO CUT THE AIR
LINE. THESE TOOLS MAY FLATTEN OR CRIMP THE AIR LINE CAUSING IT TO LEAK
AROUND THE O-RING SEAL INSIDE THE ELBOW FITTING (FIG 16).
5. Install the inflation valves as shown in fig. 17.
6. Keep at least 6” of clearance between the air line and heat sources, such as the exhaust
pipes, muffler, or catalytic converter. Avoid sharp bends and edges. Leave at least 2”
of slack when securing the air lines to allow for any movement that might pull on the air
line (fig. 18).
7. Cut off air line leaving approximately 12” of extra air line. Insert the air line into the air
fitting. Simply push the air line into the 90° swivel fitting until it bottoms out (
9
/
16
” of air
line should be in the fitting).

4WD DODGE ONLY
1. If this installation was on a late model 4WD Dodge truck, it is now necessary to reinstall
the inner fenderwell liner using the original fasteners and provided spacers to allow for
air spring clearance (fig. 18).
