According to Air Lift if you are only raising the vehicle off the ground for a short amount of time the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs # AL59533 should be reduced to 5psi to reduce tension on the air springs. If the vehicle will be raised by the frame for a long period of time jacks or straps should be used on the axle to prevent damage to the air springs. If not supported over a long period of time the air springs could become damaged.
