Air Lift Drag Bags
Installing the Air Lift Drag Bag System
GETTING STARTED
1. Raise the rear of the vehicle. Put safety stands under the frame so the wheel can
hang.
2. Remove the rear wheels for easier access to the coil springs.
It will be necessary to create a hole in the lower spring seat so that the air line can be
attached to the cylinder once it is installed (the cylinder is installed with the stem down in
the coil spring). In the following directions, the rst section shows how to create a hole in
the lower spring seat without removing the coil springs. In the second section, we show you
how to disassemble the suspension and remove the coil springs in order to create a hole
in the lower spring seat.
WITHOUT REMOVING THE COIL SPRING INSTRUCTIONS
Based on the note above, it is necessary to create a hole in the lower spring seat for an air
line/cylinder stem interface. For this set of instructions you will need some way of cutting or
drilling a hole through the lower spring seat, with the coil spring still in the vehicle.In order
to do this you will need something like a plasma cutter which will be set on a very low setting
so as not to create heat in the coil spring (which still will be installed on the suspension) or
some kind of right angle drill which will be small enough to t into the inside of the coil spring
(with the suspension extended of course).
1. With the suspension hanging, using a box cutter or a llet knife cut the jounce bumper
at the top of the spring mount ush to the bottom of the upper coil spring (g. 1).
