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. For air spring clearance some trimming must be done around the coil spring pocket. This is what it should look like after cutting.

7. Bolt the bottom of the air spring to the lower StrongArm using a 3/8” x ¾” bolt, flat washer and lock washer. 8. Double check air spring clearance through full suspension travel. If any part of the air spring touches the frame at anytime it will damage the unit. This is not a warrantable situation. 9. The driving height of the car is determined by the height of the air spring. This air spring should be approximately 5.5” tall at ride height. This may vary slightly to driver preference.
