INSTALLING THE HEAT SHIELD
1. Bend tabs to provide a dead air space between exhaust pipe and heat shield. (Fig. 37)
Attach the heat shield to the exhaust pipe using the clamps. Bend the heat shield for
maximum clearance to the air spring.
Some vehicles have large resonators in this area; it will be necessary to double up on the
clamps to fit these models (fig. 37).

TIPS FOR INSTALLING AIR LINES
When cutting air lines, use a sharp knife or a hose
cutter and make clean, square cuts (fig. 36). Do not
use scissors or wire cutters because these tools may
deform the air line, causing it to leak around fittings.
Do not cut the lines at an angle.
Do not bend the 1/4” hose at a radius of less than 1” or
bend the 3/8” hose at a radius of less than 1 1/2”. Do
not put side load pressure on fitting. The hose should be
straight beyond the fitting for 1” before bending.
Inspect hose for scratches that run lengthwise on hose
prior to installation. Contact Air Lift customer service at
[phone] if the air line is damaged.
Go to air-lift.co/cuttingairline to watch a
video demonstrating proper air line cutting.
