IMPORTANT
PLEASE DON’T HURT YOURSELF, THE KIT, OR YOUR VEHICLE. TAKE A MINUTE TO READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION.
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 losean eye.
Remove the possibility of any electrical issues by disconnecting the negative battery cable.
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.
PRESSURE TO LOAD
Be sure to review the load limits noted in the Air Spring Kit Installation Instructions (sold separately).
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.
ONCE INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY, FOLLOW THE PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE AIR SPRINGS.

PLANNING THE INSTALL
THESE PLANNING STEPS WILL HELP YOU SAVE TIME AND WILL MAKE THE INSTALLATION EASIER.
DETERMINE THE MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE AIR COMPRESSOR
- Provides ample air flow and is protected from airborne debris and moisture.
-
If using the optional Firestone Air Accessory Mounting Kit, consider the
guidelines above, and follow the kit’s instructions.
DETERMINE THE MOUNTING LOCATION FOR THE ECU
- Mount close enough to the Air Compressor to allow Wire Harness
connections to reach.
- Allow room for Air Tubing to connect to the Air Fittings on the ECU.
- Allow room for the Air Tubing to run without sharp curves or bends.
- Using supplied fasteners shown in Step 3 is recommended. If no other mounting option is available,
see the sidebar on Step 2 for using the Large Nylon Ties.
- Select a location that is solid and secure on the body or frame of the vehicle, away from any moving parts,
electrical or any other lines.
PLAN INSTALLATION ROUTES FOR WIRING AND AIR LINES
- Use supplied Thermal Sleeves on Air Tubing when routing near heat sources.
- Use supplied Nylon Ties to secure Air Tubing and Wire Harness to the vehicle.
- Make a loop in the Air Tubing where shown.This creates a water/debris trap that protects the Air Compressor.
- Measure twice, cut once!
TAPE ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
- Use electrical tape to appropriately secure and protect all electrical connections.
USING PUSH-TO-CONNECT FITTINGS FOR AIR LINES
Your kit includes Push-to-Connect fittings to connect the Air Tubing to hardware.
Use the instructions below when using the Air Tubing.
1Insert end of Air
Tubing into
Air Fitting. 2Push Air Tubing
into Air Fitting as
far as possible. 3Gently pull on
the Air Tubing
to check for a
secure fit.
4To remove, push
down collar and
gently pull Air
Tubing away.
Removal Tip: Use a 1/4 , 5/16 ,
or 6mm open-ended wrench
to push the collar down.
- Allow room for the 8-pin ECU connector to connect to the ECU.
- Mount close enough to the ECU to allow Wire Harness connections to reach.
- Make sure the Wire Harness and Air Tubing are not exposed to sharp metal edges that can damage them.

2Repeat Step 1 to route Air
Tubing from the ECU to the

LT Air Fittings on the ECU.
3Install AirTubing to the
Exhaust (EXH) Air Fitting to
reduce exhaust noise and
prevent dirt from clogging
the port (recommended
for off-road or dirty environ-
ments). Do not exceed 16" of

AIR COMMAND DUAL REMOTE QUICKSTART GUIDE
Initial Connection
Each remote is tested and
paired with an ECU prior to
shipping to make sure it
functions correctly. Expect
to see that an ECU is not
found when first turning on
the remote.
Move to and enter the ‘Scan
New’ function to find your
ECU.
Device Scan
This page shows all ECUs
found when a new scan is
complete. To make initial
startup easier, only have
one ECU powered on at a
time. The first ECU found
will automatically be
selected and highlighted at
the top of the screen. Press
the F-sheild Button to
connect to that ECU.
Enter Passkey
The connection process
requires a Passkey to pair
with the ECU. The default
Passkey is 123456.
If the ECU has been
connected to a phone app
double check that the
Passkey is the same as on
the app. The remote will ask
for a different Passkey if
incorrect. Once successful,
the remote will return to the
home screen.
Change Passkey
It is possible to change the
remote passkey in the menu
settings shown on the next
page.
*Remember, the default
passkey is 123456.
Connection
Shows if the remote is
connected to the system.
*Not Found is usually
caused by the system not
having power.
*Not Connected is usually
caused by an incorrect
Passkey. It has found the
unit, but cannot connect.
Device Scan Continued
If no ECU is found, none will
be selectable to connect to.
If that is the case, please
make sure power is getting
to the ECU.
If the ECU has a green LED
flashing the power is on, but
no connection has been
made. Once connected the
LED should be stop flashing
but stay green.

Errors
Error codes help diagnose issues with the physical
system. These codes identify pressure leaks, inflation
issues, wiring problems, etc. Refer to the troubleshooting
guide in the manual provided in the Air Command Kit for
working through initial common issues.
Once the issue is resolved make sure to clear the errors.
This will also reset (remove) the error indicator from the
top right of the screen and allow the system to operate
normally.
If these codes or system issues persist, please reach out
to [email protected].
