MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES
NOTE
By following the steps below, vehicle owners will obtain the longest life and best results from
their air springs.
1 . Check air pressure weekly .
2 . Always maintain normal ride height . Never inflate beyond 100 PSI .
3 . If you develop an air leak in the system, use a soapy water solution (1/5 liquid dish
FOR SAFETY AND TO PREVENT POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE, DO NOT
CAUTION
EXCEED MAXIMUM GROSS VEHICLE WEIGHT RATING (GVWR), AS INDICATED BY
THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURER . ALTHOUGH THE AIR SPRINGS ARE RATED AT
A MAXIMUM INFLATION PRESSURE OF 100 PSI, THE AIR PRESSURE ACTUALLY
NEEDED IS DEPENDENT ON LOAD AND GVWR .
4 . Loaded vehicles require at least 25 PSI . A "loaded vehicle" refers to a vehicle with a
5 . When increasing load, always adjust air pressure to maintain normal ride height . Increase
6 . Always add air to springs in small quantities, checking the pressure frequently .
7 . Should it become necessary to raise the vehicle by the frame, make sure the

pressure or other load assist . The springs in this kit will support approximately 40 pounds
of load (combined on both springs) for each 1 PSI of pressure . The required air pressure
will vary depending on the state of the original suspension . Operating the vehicle below
the minimum air spring pressure will void the Air Lift warranty .
