STEP 1-AIR SPRING PREPARATION

Cut a section of air line tubing approximately three inches in length. (Cut the tubing as squarely as possible.) Install the tubing into the push-to-connect air inlet on the air spring. Exhaust the air from the air spring by rolling it up toward the air inlet. After all the air is removed from the air spring install the hose plug into the end of the hose as shown in Figure "A".

STEP 2-INSTALLING THE AIR SPRING

Insert the top of the flattened air spring into the coil spring through the lowest opening with the push-to- connect air inlet at the bottom as shown in Figure "A".

STEP 3-ADJUSTING THE AIR SPRING

Push the air spring up into the coil spring by hand or with a blunt tool, such as a spoon shaped tire iron. Do NOT use anything with sharp edges or corners as this may damage the air spring.

Your vehicle will require the use of two heat shields. Make sure that the first heat shield is forward of the Coil-Rite spring and the second heat shield is next to the first shield.

When the air spring is completely within the coil spring, remove the plug and three inch tubing section by pushing the collar on the fitting towards the air spring and pulling on the tubing to remove. Allow the air spring to return to its normal shape.

STEP 4-REATTACH THE SHOCK ABSORBER

Attach shock absorbers if removed earlier in the installation.

STEP 5-ROUTE THE AIR LINE

Cut the remaining air line tubing into two equal lengths (cut the tubing as squarely as possible). Select a location for the inflation valves in a protected area, such as the bumper or trunk floor (Note: The inflation valve will be installed in step 6). Insert the air line tubing into the push-to-connect fitting on the air spring as far as possible. Route the tubing from the air spring to the inflation valve, making sure to avoid direct heat from the engine, exhaust pipe and away from sharp edges. Secure with nylon ties provided in your Coil-Rite kit.

STEP 6-INSTALL THE AIR LINE AND INFLATION VALVE

Select a location on the vehicle for the air inflation valves. The location can be located on the bumper or the body of the vehicle, as long as it is in a protected location so the valve will not be damaged, but maintain accessibility for the air chuck see Figure "C". Drill a 5/16" hole and install the air inflation valve using two 5/16" flat washers per valve as supports see Figure "D".

Follow steps 1-6 for the other air spring.

STEP 7-INFLATE AND TEST

Inflate the air springs to recommended operating pressure (see page 1 for operating pressures). With a soap and water solution, check for air leaks around the fittings and valve core. We recommend inflating and deflating in 5 p.s.i. increments to find the ideal riding condition for your vehicle.

STEP 8-COMPLETION

This now completes the installation. Install the wheels and torque the lug nuts to the manufacturers specifications. Raise the vehicle and remove the jack stands and lower the vehicle back onto the ground.
