Removal
1. WARNING: Do not under any circumstance remove an air spring when there is pressure in the air spring. Do not remove any
components supporting an air spring without either exhausting the air or providing support for the air spring. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in personal injury and vehicle damage.
WARNING: The electrical power to the air suspension system must be shut off prior to hoisting, jacking or towing an air suspension
vehicle. This can be accomplished by turning off the air suspension switch located in the RH kick panel area. Failure to do so can result in
unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which can result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in personal injury and vehicle damage.
Raise and support the vehicle.
