LOWERING THE SUSPENSION
It will be necessary to lower the suspension of the vehicle in order to provide clearance to
install the air spring unit (g. 6). The following are tips on lowering the axle or raising the
frame. Please review them and determine how to proceed:
1. If the vehicle is raised with an axle contact hoist, place axle stands under the frame and
lower the axle as needed.
2. If the vehicle is raised with a frame contact hoist, place axle stands under the axle and
lower the frame as needed.
3. If the vehicle is raised with a jack and supported with axle stands on the frame, use a
oor jack to lower the axle.
