Suggested Component Layout
This guide should be used as a general reference. The layout (Fig. 1) may need
modification based on your application.
• Ideally, tank systems should be mounted in the middle of the vehicle (Fig. 1) to
optimize the wireless performance.
• Avoid routing air lines and wiring near sharp edges. If passing air lines or wiring
through holes in the frame, use rubber grommets (not supplied) (Fig. 2). Support
wiring and air lines every 8-12" (200-300mm) with zip ties or other means.
• Keep wiring, air lines, EZ Mount, tank and compressor at least 6" away from heat
sources such as the exhaust.
• Layout the system before drilling holes to make sure all necessary wiring
connections can be made based on the harness wiring drops. (i.e., manifold
assembly and tank assembly per the harness can be no longer than ~6' apart). Do
not extend wiring.
BEFORE DRILLING, ENSURE THE BACK SIDE OF THE FRAME RAIL IS CLEAR OF VEHICLE
COMPONENTS, INCLUDING BRAKE LINES, FUEL LINES, WIRING, ETC.
If you purchased the upgrade kit, this installation guide will walk you through the steps to
complete the finished installation. Before beginning, be aware that the compressor, wiring
harness and electrical connections currently on your vehicle will NOT be used and will
have to be removed before this process can be started.
This is for vehicles equipped with Standalone Kit 74000 or EZ Mount Kit 74000EZ.

If you purchased the upgrade kit, you
can skip to the Remote Mount Filter
Assembly section.
Once the component layout has been deter-
mined, choose how to mount your EZ Mount
bracket, horizontally or vertically.
1. If you plan to mount the EZ Mount bracket
vertically (Fig. 3), skip to the Preparing the
Tank section of this installation guide.
2. If you plan to mount the EZ Mount bracket
horizontally (Fig. 4), you need to reposition
the solenoid/filter bracket/air line into another
orientation.
3. Remove the air line that attaches between the
elbow fitting and the manifold (Fig. 3).
4. Remove the (4) screws mounting the manifold
to the EZ Mount bracket (Fig. 3).

Prepare the Tank (Tank Kit)
1. Know which direction you plan to mount the tank with respect to the other
components before starting to install the necessary fittings for proper setup
(Figs. 6 & 12).
2. Install the drain cock (II) into the tank port that is meant to point to the ground (Fig. 6).
Apply tape or pipe dope and install 1 1/2-2 turns beyond finger-tight.
TANKS ACT AS ACCUMULATORS AND WILL ACCUMULATE WATER FROM MOISTURE.
IT WILL BE IMPORTANT TO PERIODICALLY DRAIN THE TANK USING THE DRAIN COCK;
OTHERWISE, YOU COULD DAMAGE OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE SYSTEM.
The blow off valve should not be installed in the port adjacent to the feet, as you won’t be able
to mount the feet based on its height.
3. Install the blow off valve (GG) across the belly of the tank using one of the other (2)
available ports and tighten 1 1/2 turns beyond finger-tight (Fig. 6).
4. Install a 1/4" MNPT X 1/4" PTC elbow fitting (FF) to the last of the belly ports (Fig. 6).
This will be used for manual fill port later in this manual.
If you have an upgrade kit, skip this step and move to the Compressor Installation section
because the filter was assembled in the Remote Mount Filter Assembly section already.
5. Install a 1/4" hex nipple (JJ) from the tank to the filter (HH) and then install an elbow
fitting (FF) from the filter to the end port facing the manifold/EZ Mount assembly
(Fig. 6). Apply tape or pipe dope and install 1 1/2-2 turns beyond finger-tight. Ensure
the arrow on top of the filter points to the EZ Mount.
THE FILTER WILL COLLECT WATER AND NEEDS TO BE MANUALLY DRAINED
PERIODICALLY SO THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE SYSTEM.
If the compressor leader line will be attached directly to the tank, then your tank prep is
complete. (As shown in Fig. 1)
6. If the compressor leader line cannot reach the tank so it can be directly installed,
install an elbow fitting (FF) on the last end port (Fig. 6). Apply tape or pipe dope and
install 1 1/2 -2 turns beyond finger-tight.

1. If you are not installing the leader line directly to the tank, attach the straight PTC
fitting (KK) to the end of the leader line (Fig. 7). Apply tape or pipe dope and install 1
1/2-2 turns beyond finger-tight.
2. Prepare the compressor intake. If the compressor (A) is mounted inside the vehicle,
attach the air filter to the port on the end of the compressor (Fig. 7). If the compressor
is located outside the vehicle, snorkel the inlet air filter to a dry location inside the
vehicle using components supplied with the compressor (Fig. 8).
If locating the compressor outside the vehicle review the Remote Filter Installation section.
IF INSTALLING ON THE FRAME RAIL, ENSURE THE BACK SIDE OF THE FRAME RAIL IS
CLEAR OF VEHICLE COMPONENTS, INCLUDING BRAKE LINES, FUEL LINES, WIRING,
ETC. BEFORE DRILLING.
3. Based on your component layout, center-punch and drill four holes using the
compressor or the drilling template (Fig. 19).
4. Secure the compressor using the supplied hardware.

1. Screw a 1/4" FNPT x 1/4" barbed tube
fitting onto the inlet air filter and hand-
tighten. No thread sealant needed.
2. Attach the 1/4" air line provided in the
filter pack to the barbed tube fitting on
the remote inlet air filter.
3. Locate an appropriate area where the
remote inlet filter is to be installed. Keep
in mind that the location should be dry
and away from any heat source, and the
air inlet slots on the inlet air filter are free
from blockage.
4. Zip tie the filter to a non-heat source item like a wire
harness or drill a 3/8" mounting hole. Push the remote
filter bracket pin into the hole (optional). Otherwise, secure
appropriately using proper fastening methods.
5. Route the air line to the inlet port of the compressor.
Measure and cut squarely to the appropriate length (Fig. 8).
Make sure when routing to keep away from sharp edges
heat sources, and allow for proper bend radius to avoid
kinking.
6. Attach the cut end of the 3/8" air line to the barbed tube
fitting of the air inlet port on the compressor.

1. There are three choices for mounting: 1) hex cap bolts (3B) with flat washers (5B) and
nylon lock nuts (4B); 2) U-bolt (2B) with washers (5B) and nylon lock nuts (4B); 3) self-
tapping screws (6B). See Figure 10 for U-bolt installation.
2. EZ Mount can be mounted in any
orientation except with the Air Lift logo
upside down or with the Air Lift logo
facing the ground (Fig. 11). There are
mounting holes in the web of the EZ
Mount bracket and in the top flange.
Use the included drilling template
(Figs. 20 & 21) for mounting with self-
threading screws or hex cap bolts. Use
a 1/4" drill bit to make pilot holes if
using self-tapping screws. If mounting
from the frame, before drilling, ensure that the back side of the frame is clear of vehicle
components, including brake lines, fuel lines, wiring, etc. Do not remove components
from the EZ Mount assembly.
3. Attach the wiring harness to the top (preferred) or bottom of the EZ Mount bracket with
zip ties (E).
4. The harness can be routed underneath the vehicle on either the passenger’s (right) or
driver’s (left) side based on where you decided would be the best location to mount
the system.
DISCONNECT THE BATTERY GROUND BEFORE INSTALLING THE SYSTEM.
REMOVE ALL FUSES WHEN JUMP-STARTING OR WELDING ON THE VEHICLE. FAILURE
TO DO SO COULD DAMAGE THE MANIFOLD.
The manifold assembly can be no longer than 6'(6 feet) from the tank assembly based on wiring.
DO NOT EXTEND ELECTRICAL WIRING, OR THIS COULD RESULT IN SYSTEM FUNCTION
ISSUES.
5. Route battery power (red), ground (black), and ignition wire (pink) from the frame rail
(where you mounted your components) up to the engine compartment where the
battery and fuse box is located. Ensure you have enough for integrating into those
locations without extending the wires.
6. Attach to secure components every 6-8" all the way down to where you mounted the
wiring for the tank/manifold/compressor.

Frame Rail Component Wiring
The integration steps may be different based on the way the system is mounted. Shown
below are the connections that need to be made:
a. Manifold Connector: Install the connector off the main harness (B) to the manifold.
You should hear an audible click when attaching the connector to the manifold.
b. Solenoid Valve: Crimp the red butt connectors (DD) between the solenoid valve and
the main harness wires labeled solenoid valve. Apply heat to the butt connectors to
seal them.
c. Pressure Switch: Crimp the blue butt connector (X) to one of the black wires off the
pressure switch (Fig. 12). Apply heat to the butt connector to seal it. To the other
black wire on the pressure switch, crimp a yellow ring terminal (W) to the end. This
will need to attach to the frame using a self-tapping screw (Q). This must have a good
ground connection to the frame.
It may be necessary to grind some paint or rust off the frame to make a good connection.
d. Compressor: Cut off the terminals on the compressor before attaching to the main
harness. Crimp the yellow butt connectors (V) between the compressor and the main
harness compressor wires (Black to Black & Red to Red/White). Apply heat to the
butt connectors to seal them (Fig. 12).
NOTE
Engine Compartment Component Wiring
Previously, the wiring was routed to the engine compartment to reach the battery and fuse
box. Shown below are the connections that need to be made:
a. Battery:
i. Power - Crimp the yellow butt connector (V) to the red power wire on the main
harness. Crimp the other end to the Red ATC fuse holder (R) after cutting the wire
to split it into two equal halves. Apply heat to the butt connector to seal it. Crimp
the yellow 3/8" (CC) or 1/4" (W) ring terminal to the other side of the red wire on
the ATC fuse holder. Attach the ring terminal to the positive battery post.
DO NOT INSTALL THE FUSE AT THIS TIME.
ii. Ground - Crimp the yellow 3/8" (CC) or 1/4" (W) ring terminal to the black ground
wire on the main harness. Attach the ring terminal to the ground battery post.
b. Keyed Power Source (Fuse Box):
i. Ignition Wire - Crimp the blue butt connector (X) to the pink ignition wire on the
main harness. Crimp the other end to one of the black mini fuse holder (S) ends.
Apply heat to the butt connector to seal it.
ii. Determine the correct fuse adapter type (Fig. 13) for your selected fuse and install
the fuse into the adapter (BB or AA), then install the fuse back into the fuse box.
Connect the end of the fuse holder with the female push-on connector (Y or
Z) onto the adapter. If you have the standard ATC-type fuses, use adapter #1
(BB). Many late-model vehicles use a smaller mini-type fuse requiring adapter
#2 (AA). If you use adapter #1, you will need to crimp on a 1/4" (14-16GA) female
connector (Z) supplied in kit. If you use adapter #2, you will need to crimp on a
3/16" (14-16GA) female connector (Y) supplied in the kit. Connection to the fuse
terminal will depend on what type of fuse your vehicle uses.

The nylon air lines are routed from the tank to the auxiliary Schrader port for use with
the coil hose (C).
1. Determine the location for the auxiliary port. Cut a length of air line to reach from the
elbow fitting in the tank previously installed to this desired location. Install one end of the
air line into this fitting.
2. Make clean, square cuts with a razor blade or hose cutter (See Fig. 15 in the Cutting Air
Lines section). Do not use scissors or wire cutters.
3. Use zip ties to secure the air line to fixed points along the chassis. Do not pinch or kink
the air line. The minimum bend radius for the air line is 1" (25mm). Leave at least 2"
(50mm) of slack in the air line to allow for any movement that might pull on the air line.
4. Install the Schrader valve (Fig. 14) in the chosen location. Attach the other end of the air line
into the Schrader valve.

Cutting Air Lines
Use a sharp knife or a hose cutter and make clean, square cuts (Fig. 15). Do not use
scissors or wire cutters because these tools will deform the air line. Do not cut the lines
at an angle. The minimum bend radius for 1/4" air line is 1" (25mm). Air lines are to be
installed straight into fittings. Inspect the air line for scratches that run lengthwise.
Contact Air Lift customer service if the air line is damaged.
