Installing the LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate System

IMPORTANT SYSTEM INFORMATION

The air springs will last much longer if they are not the suspension limiter in either compression
or extension . The air spring compresses to 2 .8" and extends to 9 .1" . Regardless of the load,
the air pressure should be adjusted so that the normal ride height is maintained at all times .
The shock absorber is usually the limiter on extension . If this is not the case, the use of
limiting straps should be considered, particularly for off-road vehicles .
A DISTANCE OF 4" OR GREATER MUST BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE UPPER
CAUTION
AND LOWER BRACKET FOR KIT #57297 (2WD) . ADD SUFFICIENT PRESSURE TO
MAINTAIN THIS HEIGHT .
Your vehicle may be equipped with a rear brake proportioning valve . Any type of load
assist product could affect brake performance . We recommend that you check with your
dealer before installing this type of product . If your vehicle DOES NOT have a rear brake
proportioning valve or is equipped with an anti-lock type brake system, installation of a load
assist product will have NO EFFECT on brake system performance .
COMPRESSED AIR CAN CAUSE INJURY AND DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PARTS
DANGER
IF IT IS NOT HANDLED PROPERLY . FOR YOUR SAFETY, DO NOT TRY TO INFLATE THE
AIR SPRINGS UNTIL THEY HAVE BEEN PROPERLY SECURED TO THE VEHICLE .
