Q . The system won't maintain pressure overnight . What could be wrong?
One of the air lines may be improperly installed or a line may have a hole or crack .
Start by leak testing the air line connections . If no leaks are found, look for leaks in
the rest of the air lines . Follow the steps in "Fixing Leaks ."
Q . One of the corners won't rise .
Look for a kink or fold in the air line going to that air spring . Replace any line that has
been kinked .
Q . Will installing air springs increase the weight ratings of a vehicle?
No . Adding air springs will not change the weight ratings (GAWR, GCWR and/
or GVWR) of a vehicle . Exceeding the GVWR is dangerous and voids the Air Lift
warranty .
Q . Is it necessary to keep air in the air springs at all times and how much pressure
will they need?
For LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate, the recommended minimum air pressure is 5 PSI, but it
can safely be run at zero air pressure .
Q . Is it necessary to add a compressor system to the air springs?
No . Air pressure can be adjusted with any type of compressor as long as it can
produce sufficient pressure to service the springs . Even a bicycle tire pump can be
used, but it’s a lot of work .
Q . How long should air springs last?
If the air springs are properly installed and maintained they can last indefinitely .
Q . Will raising the vehicle on a hoist for service work damage the air springs?
No . The vehicle can be lifted on a hoist for short-term service work such as tire
rotation or oil changes . However, if the vehicle will be on the hoist for a prolonged
period of time, support the axle with jack stands in order to take the tension off of the
air springs .
