! IMPORTANT PLEASE DON T HURT YOURSELF, YOUR KIT OR YOUR VEHICLE. TAKE A MINUTE TO READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION. This kit is to be used on a pickup truck only, and DOES NOT INCREASE YOUR VEHICLE S MAXIMUM LOAD. SAFE INSTALLATION Please take all safety precautions during installation. A hydraulic jack can fail, and if that happens, you can be seriously hurt, or worse, if you are relying on it to hold up the vehicle. If you use a hydraulic jack, secure jack stands in the appropriate locations and chock any tires still touching the ground. Wear safety glasses or goggles. Your eyes may be lower than some parts and pieces, and you don t want to lose an eye. Remove the possibility of any electrical issues by disconnecting the negative battery cable. KIT CLEARANCE There must be a minimum of /2" clearance around all installed components when the Air Springs are inflated and under a load. The Air Springs must flex and expand during operation, so the clearance keeps the kit from rubbing against parts of the vehicle. VEHICLE GVWR NEVER exceed the maximum load recommended by the vehicle manufacturer (GVWR). The GVWR can be found in your vehicle s owner s manual or on the data plate on the driver s side door. Consult your local dealership for additional GVWR specifications. INFLATING THE AIR SPRINGS When inflating Air Springs, add air pressure in small quantities, checking air pressure frequently. The Air Springs have much less air volume than a tire, so they inflate much more quickly. PRESSURE TO LOAD The Air Springs will support approximately 50 lbs. of load for each PSI of inflation pressure (per pair). For example, 50 PSI of inflation pressure will support a load of 2500 lbs. per pair of Air Springs. APPROPRIATE AIR PRESSURE For best ride, use only enough air pressure in the Air Springs to level the vehicle when viewed from the side (front to rear). This will vary, depending on the load, location of the load, condition of the existing suspension, and personal preference. OPTIONAL T-FITTING This kit includes Inflation Valves and Air Line Tube for each Air Spring, allowing you to compensate for unbalanced loads. If you prefer a single Inflation Valve system to provide equal pressure to both Air Springs, your dealer can supply the optional T fitting (Part # 3025 or WRI-760-346 retail pack). ONCE INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY, FOLLOW THESE PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AIR SPRINGS:
