5. Installation
This air suspension kit is designed to replace the original components and is supplied in kit form for ease of installation. However, professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper fitment and safe operation. Instructions are not included in the package, but the general steps involve:
- Safely lift and support the vehicle.
- Remove existing suspension components as necessary to access the installation area.
- Install the upper and lower mounting brackets securely.
- Position the air spring bags between the brackets.
- Secure the air bags to the brackets using the provided Darcromet-plated bolts, which offer exceptional corrosion resistance and heat durability.
- Connect the air lines to the air bags and route them to an accessible inflation point.
- Ensure all connections are tight and free of leaks.
- Lower the vehicle and inflate the air bags to the recommended pressure.
6. Operation
The air suspension kit works by providing additional support to your vehicle's rear suspension, especially when carrying heavy loads or towing. This helps to:
- Keep your vehicle level and balanced, preventing sag.
- Improve steering and vehicle handling.
- Enhance ride comfort by absorbing road shocks more effectively.
- Increase towing stability.
Adjust the air pressure within the recommended range (5psi - 160psi) based on the load and desired ride height. Always ensure both air bags are inflated to the same pressure for optimal balance.
7. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your air suspension kit, regular maintenance is crucial:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the air bags, air lines, and fittings for any signs of wear, cracks, punctures, or corrosion.
- Leak Detection: If you suspect a leak, inflate the system to maximum recommended pressure and spray a soapy water solution on all connections and the air bags. Bubbles will indicate a leak.
- Pressure Monitoring: Check the air pressure regularly, especially before and after towing or hauling heavy loads. Adjust as needed.
- Cleaning: Keep the air bags and surrounding components clean from dirt, debris, and harsh chemicals that could degrade the rubber material.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your air suspension kit, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Loss of Air Pressure:
- Check all air line connections and fittings for tightness.
- Inspect air bags for punctures or tears using a soapy water solution.
- Ensure the air valve caps are securely in place.
- Uneven Ride Height:
- Verify that both air bags are inflated to the same pressure.
- Check for leaks in one of the air bags or its associated air line.
- Poor Ride Quality:
- Adjust air pressure within the recommended range to find the optimal setting for your load.
- Ensure the air bags are not over-inflated or under-inflated for the current load.
For persistent issues or complex problems, it is advisable to consult with a qualified automotive technician.
9. User Tips
- Pre-Trip Check: Always check your air bag pressure before embarking on a trip, especially when towing or hauling.
- Gradual Inflation: When inflating, add air gradually and check the vehicle's level to avoid over-inflation.
- Even Distribution: For best results, try to distribute your load evenly across the vehicle's bed or trailer.
