Arnott Air Bag Install Issue

[sp73]

Did the air bag refresh today… mostly. I cannot get air springs to seat to the perch up top. I’m maybe 1/2“ away. They wiggle still so I know I’m not sitting on the nipples; the air valve is basically through it’s orifice.

I am missing something simple here, looking for ideas now that the sun is down. axle seems to have reached its upward travel limit so my thought is the springs need to be extended more… I dunno. The Arnott bags are “keyed” so the bottom has to be seated first (I believe).

Use your air compressor or lungs to blow a little air into the bags through the airline.

I just started the truck and guided the airbags in by hand as the compressor pumped them up. Not a big deal honestly.

Yep. Not a big deal in the end. Thanks!
