III.AssemblingtheStrut
1. Remove the O.E.M.rubber bumper from the O.E.M.upper strut
mount(Figure2).
2. Marka notchon asideoftheupperstrutmount usingthe grooves
in the top of the strut mount as a guide (Figure 3).
3. Cutouta notchlarge enoughtoclear theair fittingwhenthestrut
is in place (Figure 4).
NOTE: Steps four through seven are shown in Figure 5.
4. Insert the supplied 1/2” 90° air fitting (C) into the strut.
5. Place a supplied rubber washer (B) onto the bolt at the top of the
strut.
6. Place the previoulsy removed O.E.M. rubber bumper on top of
thewasher.
7. Put the upper strut mount back in place on top of the rubber
bumper and fasten using a supplied flat washer and nylock nut.
8. Tighten only finger-tight at this time.
9. Tighten the fitting finger-tight plus 1 1/2 turns being careful to
tighten on the metal hex nut only.
NOTE: The fitting needs to be turned so that a base of the hex
nut is parallel to the end cap (Figure 6).
V. SpindleCastingFlash
IMPORTANT: This stepiscriticaltothe lifeand
performanceofyourairbags.
1. It will be necessary to grind the inside of the flashing off the
spindle arm that attaches to the upper control arm (Figure7).
Caution: Failure to grind the flashing may cause the air bag
to rub against the spindle arm flashing and rupture. This
will void the air bag warranty.
NOTE: Make sure the face is smooth and clear of burrs.

IV.Installing the StrutAssembly
1. Using the template at the end of the manual, line up the three
holesin thetemplate withthe threeholes inthe upperstrut tower.
2. Make a mark in the engine compartment where the fourth hole
will need to be drilled.
3. Remove the template and drill a hole in the upper strut tower
large enough to accomodate the air fitting from the top of the
strut(Figure9).
NOTE: Be surethat youhaveadequate clearancebeforedrilling.
NOTE: The same template will be used for both sides of the
vehicle.
NOTE: A silicone seal or rubber grommett is recommended to
protect the air line where it passes through the strut tower.
4. Place the upper strut mount back into the compartment.
NOTE: Rotate thestrutassembly sothatthe air fittingisthrough
the center previously drilled hole.
5. Fastenthestrut usingthethree previouslyremovednuts(Figure 10).
6. Tighten the nut at the top of the upper strut mount at this time.
7. Slide the lower end of the strut into the strut fork.
8. Replacethe previouslyremovedlowerstrutmountingbolt(Figure
11). Leave loose at this time.
9. Tighten the the lower strut mounting bolt.

V. Before Operating
1. Inflate and deflate system (do not exceed 150 p.s.i) to check for clearance or binding issues. With air springs
deflated, check clearances on everything so as not to pinch brake lines, vent tubes, etc. Clear lines if necessary.
2. Tighten and visually inspect all hardware after 100 miles.
3. The struts for the vehicle come with a nine-position dampening dial (shown below) for added adjustability. To start,
we recommend setting the dial at the third position for the most versatility.
4. Air Lift part #27741 is highly recommended for this product.
5. Pleasecontinueby readingtheMaintenance and Operationsection.

VI. MaintenanceandOperation:
By following these steps, vehicle owners should obtain the longest life and best results from their air springs.
1. Always maintain Ride Height. Never inflate beyond 150 p.s.i.
2. Alwaysadjust theair pressureto maintainRide Height. Increaseor decreasepressure fromthe systemas necessary
to attain Ride Height for optimal ride and handling.
3. Should it become necessary to raise the vehicle by the frame or do any service work, make sure the system is at
minimum pressure (10 p.s.i.) for safety and to reduce the tension on the suspension/brake components.
MinimumPressure Maximum Pressure
10p.s.i. 150 p.s.i.
Failureto maintaincorrect minimumpressure(or pressure proportionalto load),bottoming
out,overextension,or rubbingagainst anothercomponent willvoidthewarranty.
