The Airbag Man Air Helper Kit (CR5139) turns the factory rear coil springs on your Ford Everest Next-Gen P704 (2022-2024) into an adjustable load-leveling system, with air pressure you dial up or down to match your payload. It corrects rear sag from a loaded canopy, bull bar or tow ball weight without altering your unladen ride height. Installation takes around 2 hours and pairs well with upgraded shock absorbers for full load-carrying control. Backed by Airbag Man's Australian manufacturing and 4WD Suspension's fitment support, it's in stock now for fast dispatch.
Airbag Man helper kits use coil-insert air springs that sit inside the existing coils – add air when the load goes on to bring the vehicle back level, then let it out and the standard springs carry on exactly as before. Because each side inflates independently, you can also correct for an off-centre load like a slide-on or water tank.
They shine when the load keeps changing – a van on the towball some weekends, a loaded tray on others. Worth being clear about what they don't do: helper airbags don't increase your GVM or payload; they manage ride height and stability within the vehicle's existing ratings. If the vehicle is always loaded, upgraded springs (with airbags for the variation on top) is the better setup.

Because air pressure in this kit is fully adjustable, you're not locked into a fixed spring rate the way you are with a raised coil or leaf spring — you simply add or release air to match the load in the vehicle at any given time. Consider your typical constant accessory load when working out your usual pressure setting, including a fitted canopy, drawer system, rear bar, long-range fuel tank, water tank, or a caravan/trailer tow ball weight. If you're running a permanent heavy setup, pairing this kit with uprated rear coil springs can reduce how much air pressure you need day to day.
Fitting the Airbag Man kit takes an experienced DIYer or workshop around 2 hours, working around the existing rear coil springs and factory mounting points. A wheel alignment isn't required purely for fitting this kit since it doesn't change unladen ride height, but it's worth checking alignment if you've recently changed other suspension components. Allow the airbags to settle in for the first few hundred kilometres and recheck air pressure after your first loaded trip. If you're also correcting geometry from a lift or heavier front-end accessories, look at pairing this kit with upgraded control arms.
Airbag Man has manufactured air suspension products in Australia for over 25 years, with kits developed for local towing and touring conditions. The brand is used by tradespeople carrying constant tool and equipment loads and by tourers running caravans, camper trailers and off-road setups. This kit is backed by Airbag Man's manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects — view the full Airbag Man range to see other options for your Everest.
This kit suits Everest Next-Gen owners who regularly carry a heavy tow ball weight, run a loaded canopy or tray, or notice rear sag when the vehicle is packed for a trip. It's a straightforward option for tradespeople and caravan/camper towers who want adjustable support without swapping out the factory coil springs. If you're after a broader look at load-carrying options for your rear end, our airbag suspension range covers other Ford applications too.
In stock now and dispatched from our Australian warehouse, this kit comes with fitment guidance from our team if you have questions about your specific Everest setup.

Genuine Airbag Man suspension from an authorised Australian dealer.
Yes, this Airbag Man kit (SKU CR5139) is built specifically for the Ford Everest Next-Gen P704 platform, covering the 2022-2024 model years. It's designed to fit inside the factory rear coil springs, so it works with the standard rear suspension setup on both the 2.0L Bi-Turbo and 3.0L V6 diesel variants. If you're running a different Everest series or aftermarket rear coils, contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This kit isn't a lift kit — it's a load-leveling airbag that fits inside your existing rear coil springs. When deflated, ride height stays at factory settings; when aired up under load, it supports the coil spring and corrects rear sag rather than raising the vehicle when empty. If you want an actual lift in addition to load support, pair it with a set of raised rear coil springs.
The kit includes 2 x Airbag Man rear coil-spring air helper bags, 2 x inflation valves, braided air line, mounting hardware and locating brackets specific to the Everest Next-Gen P704. Fitting instructions are included for workshop or DIY installation. An air compressor and gauge to inflate the bags are sold separately.
Yes, that's the main use case for this kit. Airing up the helper bags counteracts rear sag caused by tow ball weight, keeping the Everest more level when hitched to a caravan or trailer. This helps maintain consistent headlight aim and steering geometry compared to running on sagged rear coils.
Not for this kit specifically, since it doesn't raise ride height. If you're running this alongside a front lift or heavier front-end accessories such as a winch bar, upgraded control arms can help correct front geometry. For the rear airbag kit alone, no control arm change is required.
A wheel alignment isn't mandatory purely for installing this airbag helper kit, since unladen ride height doesn't change. It's still good practice to check alignment if you've recently fitted other suspension parts, or if you notice uneven tyre wear after adding this kit. Our team can advise if you're combining this with front-end suspension changes.
This kit works with your existing factory rear coil springs — there's no fixed spring rate to select because air pressure does the adjusting. You add air for a heavier load and release it for an unladen or lightly loaded drive. If you're carrying a permanent heavy setup, uprated coil springs can reduce how much air pressure you need day to day.
This kit doesn't change ride height or wheel arch clearance, so it won't affect tyre fitment on its own. If you're planning larger tyres, that's a separate consideration tied to a front and rear lift kit rather than this rear load-leveling airbag. Speak with our team about a combined setup if you want both.
This kit is backed by Airbag Man's manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Contact our contact page for the exact warranty term and any documentation you'll need for a claim. We can also advise on care and maintenance to keep the airbags in good condition.
Yes. With the bags deflated, the Everest rides on its factory rear coil springs as normal, so daily driving comfort isn't affected. You simply add air pressure before a heavier trip — towing, touring or carrying a loaded canopy — and release it again for everyday unladen use.
