Determining Required Spacer Height

It is important to accurately determine the required spacer height. Do not assume that a lift kit of a certain height will automatically require a spacer of the same height. For example, a 6-inch lift kit may only provide 4 inches of lift in the rear to level the vehicle.

To determine the correct spacer height, measure the distance between the upper and lower brackets of your air spring system while the vehicle is on a flat surface with all four wheels on the ground. This measurement, labeled 'X' in the diagram, will guide your selection.

Refer to the table below to match your measurement to the appropriate lift spacer height and part number:

Instalazio-argibideak

This spacer is designed for bolt-on installation and does not require drilling. All necessary bolts and nuts are included.

Segurtasun neurriak: Always ensure the vehicle is securely supported on a flat, level surface using jack stands before beginning any work. Disconnect the air lines from the air springs before removal to prevent accidental inflation or damage.

1. urratsa: Ibilgailua prestatu

1. Park the vehicle on a level surface. Engage the parking brake. Block the wheels that will remain on the ground.
2. Lift the vehicle using a jack and support the frame with jack stands, allowing the axle to hang freely.
3. Carefully release air pressure from the air springs.

Step 2: Remove Air Spring

1. Disconnect the air line from the air spring.
2. Remove the bolts securing the air spring to the upper and lower brackets.
3. Carefully remove the air spring from its position.

Step 3: Install Spacer

1. Position the Torque lift spacer between the lower bracket and the air spring.
2. Align the bolt holes on the spacer with the lower bracket and the air spring.
3. Secure the spacer to the lower bracket and the air spring using the provided hardware. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications.

Step 4: Reinstall Air Spring

1. Reinstall the air spring assembly (with the spacer attached) into the vehicle's suspension.
2. Secure the upper and lower connections with the appropriate hardware.
3. Reconnect the air line to the air spring.

5. urratsa: Azken egiaztapenak

1. Lower the vehicle slowly until it rests on its wheels.
2. Inflate the air springs to the recommended pressure.
3. Check for proper alignment and ensure all connections are secure and free from leaks.
4. Test drive the vehicle at low speeds to confirm proper function before normal operation.

Once installed, the Torque airbag lift spacer functions passively to maintain the desired lift height for your vehicle's air suspension system. No specific operational steps are required beyond the normal operation of your vehicle's air suspension.

Ensure your air springs are maintained at the manufacturer's recommended pressure for optimal performance and longevity.

Mantentzea

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and performance of your lift spacers and air suspension system:

• Regularly inspect the lift spacers and all associated hardware for signs of wear, corrosion, or loosening.
• Check air lines and connections for leaks or damage.
• Clean the spacers periodically to prevent accumulation of dirt and debris.
• Ensure all bolts remain properly torqued according to installation specifications.
