    No. Adding air springs will not change the weight ratings (GAWR, GCWR and/or GVWR) of a vehicle. Exceeding the GWVR is dangerous and voids the Air Lift warranty. Q. Is it necessary to keep air in the air springs at all times and how much pressure will they need? The minimum air pressure should be maintained at all times.
  • Page 12: Guidelines For Adding Air

    Air Lift 1000 GUIDELINES FOR ADDING AIR 1. Start with the vehicle level or slightly above. 2. When in doubt, always add air. 3. For motorhomes, start with 50-100 PSI in the rear because it can be safely assumed that it is heavily loaded.
