Thank you and congratulations on the purchase of an air suspension kit. Please read the 
entire manual prior to starting the installation to ensure you can complete it once started.

IMPORTANT

This air suspension kit will not increase the GVWR (

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

), as the GVWR is determined by the vehicle 

manufacturer. 

Do not exceed the maximum capacity listed by the vehicle manufacturer.

PLEASE NOTE
The air bag must have clearance between itself and the surrounding components to prevent any contact when bag is infl ated or 
compressed. Trimming off excess bolt length is also required to ensure no contact with the air bag can be made once installed. 

Safety Warnings!

Serious personal injury or death may result from an air spring failure or accident due to improper installation or air spring 
pressure operation or maintenance. Please read and abide the instructions, safety recommendations and maintenance 
suggestions throughout this manual.

Infl ating an unsecured air spring is dangerous. If it bursts, it could be hurled into the air with explosive force resulting in 
serious personal injury or death. Never infl ate an air spring unless it is secured to the vehicle.

Removing and replacing air springs can be dangerous. This is only a job for a qualifi ed service professional. Never perform air 
spring service procedures without proper training, tools, and equipment.
