Proper air spring alignment is crucial for optimal operation. During installation, visually align the air spring. Most kits allow for adjusting the upper and lower brackets to make the air springs vertical. Ensure the brackets are parallel and maintain the proper design height. Refer to the installation manual for specific procedures.

After installing your air spring kit, ensure there is at least 1/2" of clearance around the entire air spring when it is inflated. A good practice is to use your hand to check for clearance around the entire air spring. If your hand touches any part of the vehicle, you may have an interference issue. If the object can be moved, relocate it. If it cannot be moved, contact RETRUE for further assistance. Ensure that no part of the air spring kit (bellows, brackets, hardware) rubs against any lines (fuel, brake, electrical) or contacts anything other than the mounting surfaces designed to support the brackets.

Use a fuse tap to simplify the electrical connections for your air accessory kit. Refer to the owner's manual to make an appropriate choice and use a multimeter to verify the voltage.

RETRUE's push-to-connect air fittings are very user-friendly. After selecting the appropriate length of the air line to connect the air springs to the inflation valves, use a sharp knife or tube cutter to make a clean, square cut on the air line (avoid using side cutters or other tools that might crush the end of the line). Then, insert the air line into the fitting as far as it will go. If you have any futher questions about the Air Line Tube, please click here for more information.

Mix a solution of soap and water (about 1 part liquid soap to 4 parts water) and spray it on the air line fittings, air spring, and compressor body and head. If you detect leaks at the fittings, tighten them or apply thread sealant. If the leak is at the air line connection, remove the air line, make a clean, square cut, and re-insert it. Here is a link for more trouble shootings about Air Line Tube leakage. If the air spring is leaking, send a picture to contact@retrue.com or reach out to our customer service to check if it is covered under warranty.

Ensure there is at least 6 inches of clearance between the air spring and any nearby heat source. Kits for vehicles with less than this clearance include a heat shield. Our kits are designed to accommodate factory exhaust systems. However, aftermarket systems with larger tubes may cause interference or place excessive heat near the air spring, potentially damaging the rubber.

Never operate the air spring below the minimum recommended pressure or above the maximum recommended pressure.

RETRUE offers a wide range of Air Accessory Systems to meet all your air spring needs. Here are some quick tips for using RETRUE air accessories:

1. All compressors are direct-drive units (no oil or belts), so they can be mounted in any position without affecting performance.

2. For systems with tanks, ensure the compressor is connected to an ignition-activated positive wire. This will prevent the compressor from running when the vehicle is off, avoiding battery drain.

3. The compressor can be mounted under the hood or on the frame rail behind a cross member. To ensure proper airflow, place the unit in a well-protected area free from debris and excessive water.
