Question:

2005 Chevy 2WD uplander. Does the air valve go to the top of the spring or the bottom? The bump stop-does that need to be removed or cut out? or stay in? Does the spacer go on the top, bottom, or by the air valve? Thank you.

Expert Reply:

In your 2005 Chevrolet Uplander the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring Kit # F4155 will install with its air valve at the bottom of the spring. The vehicle's bump stop is to be removed and the included spacer will be placed at the bottom of the air spring in your installation. The written instructions are linked for your reference.

Always keep these springs inflated to at least their recommended minimum pressure of 5-psi and never exceed the 35-psi limit.

If you prefer to have automated inflation/deflation you might consider the Firestone Air Command I # F2158 that will allow air pressure control from the comfort of the driver's seat. An installation video and the written instructions are linked.
