6. Operation and Control

The air suspension system allows you to adjust the air pressure in the bags to suit different load conditions, ensuring optimal ride height and stability.

Inflation/Deflation:

• Inflate the air bags to the recommended pressure when carrying heavy loads or towing.
• Deflate the air bags when the vehicle is unloaded to restore the factory ride height and comfort.
• Always refer to the specific pressure recommendations in the full installation manual.

7. Maintenance and Care

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your air suspension kit:

• Regular Inspection: Periodically check air lines and connections for any signs of wear, cracks, or leaks.
• Cleanliness: Keep the air bags and surrounding components free from dirt, debris, and corrosive materials.
• Pressure Monitoring: Regularly check and maintain appropriate air pressure based on your load requirements. Avoid over-inflation or under-inflation.

8. Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter any issues with your air suspension kit, consider the following common problems and potential solutions:

• Vehicle Sagging/Bottoming Out: Check air pressure and for potential leaks in the air lines or bags. Ensure the kit is properly inflated for the load.
• Light Steering Feel: This can occur if the front of the vehicle lifts due to an unbalanced load. Adjust air pressure to level the vehicle.
• Rough Ride: Over-inflation can lead to a harsh ride. Reduce air pressure to the recommended level for the current load.
• Trailer Sway: Improperly inflated air bags or an unbalanced load can contribute to trailer sway. Ensure proper inflation and load distribution.

For persistent issues, consult the full installation manual or contact customer support.
