Do the Coil Springs have to be Removed to Install Coil-Rite Springs on a 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe
Question:
Hello, I am a new customer as of this morning. Your site/company looks extremely professional. I was able to find the exact items I was looking for to fit my late model Hyundai. I would like to install the 4170 air bags to the rear axle of my 2013 Santa Fe. Do You have install tips for this?

You are correct, you do not have to remove the coil springs from your 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe in order to install the Coil-Rite system, # F4170. I have included a link to the instructions for you to view.
If you are having trouble getting the bag into the center of the springs what you can do is remove the shocks to allow the axle to hang a little lower which will give you a few more inches and make installation easier.
Be sure that the air lines are not ran near any moving parts or hot exhaust parts that could burn or damage the lines. You want to cut the lines as straight as possible so a tubing cutter is recommended, # AL10530.
