1. Choose a convenient location for mounting the inflation valves. Popular locations for
the inflation valve are:
a. The wheel well flanges
b. The license plate recess in bumper
c. Under the gas cap access door
d. Through the license plate
Whatever the chosen location, make sure there is enough clearance around the inflation valves
for an air chuck.
2. Drill two 5/16” holes to install the inflation valves.
3. Cut the air line assembly in two equal lengths.
4. Place a 5/16” nut and star washer on the air valve. Leave enough of the inflation
valve in front of the nut to extend through the hole and have room for the rubber
washer, flat washer, and 5/16” nut and cap. There should be enough valve exposed
after installation – approximately 1/2” – to easily apply a pressure gauge or an air
chuck. (Fig. 17.)
5. Push the inflation valve through the hole and use the rubber washer, flat washer and
another 5/16” nut to secure it in place. Tighten the nuts to secure the assembly.
6. Route the air line along the frame to the air fitting on the air spring (Fig. 18). 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. Use plastic tie straps
to secure the air line to fixed points along the chassis. Be sure that the tie straps are tight,
but do not pinch the air line. Leave at least 2” of slack to allow for any movement that
might pull on the air line.
