1 MEASURE STOCK RIDE HEIGHT
Park the vehicle on a level surface. Remove any unnecessary weight
from the vehicle to attain a Normal Ride Height. This is important for
correct initial air spring set-up and adjustment.
Using a measuring tape, measure the distance between the center
of the wheel hub and the bottom of the fender well (as shown in
Figure 1) this will give you your ride height.
Note the ride height for all four corners.
2 REMOVE REAR WHEELS
Place wheel chocks in front of and behind both front wheels.
Raise the rear of the truck high enough to remove both wheels and
attain a comfortable working height.
Place two jack stands under rear axle (shown in Figure 2).
Lower the vehicle until the axle is supported by the jack stands.
Remove rear wheels.

BEFORE STARTING THE INSTALLATION:
1.
Ensure the application information is correct for the make, model and year of the vehicle you are installing the kit on.
2.
Some vehicles are equipped with a rear wheel brake proportioning valve. Check with the manufacturer before installing the air
spring kit, as it may affect braking performance.
3.
It is recommended to use a good quality anti-seize on all fasteners. This will reduce the chance of corrosion on the fasteners
and will help facilitate removal, if required at a later date.
PLEASE NOTE:
This kit contains push-to-connect fittings
;
using scissors or wire cutters to cut the nylon airline will distort the line and cause
the connection to leak. THE AIRLINE MUST BE CUT OFF SQUARELY WITH THE NYLON HOSE CUTTER PROVIDED IN THIS KIT
