Installation Instructions
******Must be used w/ RideTech shock kit******
1. Raise and support car at a safe, comfortable working height. Let the front suspension
hang freely
2. Remove coil spring and shock absorber. Refer to factory service manual for proper disassembly
procedure.
3. Bolt the lower air spring plate to the
lower arm. The two outer holes will align
with the factory bump stop holes. The
inner two holes must be drilled.
Note: The factory bump stop may be
reused but is not needed. It is
acceptable to allow the suspension to
bottom out on the air spring.
4. Insert air fitting into air spring using
tread sealant. Place the upper cup onto
the studs on the air spring and tighten
using two 3/8” nyloc and flat washers.
Thread the 6 1/2” stud into nut in bottom
of air spring cup.
5. Install air spring assembly into the coil
spring pocket with the tall side of the
bracket towards the wheel. With the
stud protruding through the OEM shock
hole secure the assembly with the
supplied hardware. (The airline must
also be routed at this time.)
6. To correct the sway bar alignment the
endlink must be shorten to 2” tall. A 3/8”
x 6 ½” bolt is supplied.
7. Ride height on this air spring will
occur around 5” tall.
8. Trimming the coil spring pocket is
generally not necessary on this car.
However, be sure to check air spring
clearance through full suspension travel.
Allowing the air spring to rub will result in
failure and it not a warrantable situation.
