Start with 0 PSI (deflated) for unloaded daily driving to maintain factory ride comfort. Gradually increase air pressure in 10-15 PSI increments as you add payload or attach towing loads — typical towing pressures range from 30-60 PSI depending on trailer weight and tongue load. For heavy caravans or maximum GVM loads, pressures up to 100 PSI may be required to restore level ride height and optimal handling geometry. Common rear loads requiring air pressure adjustment include: roof-top tents, dual battery systems, heavy drawer systems, water tanks, camping equipment, caravan ball weight (200-350kg typical), boat trailers, camper trailers, and tools or work equipment in trade applications.
This kit is designed as an "Easy Fit" system suitable for experienced DIY installers with basic mechanical skills and appropriate workshop facilities — approximate installation time is 120 minutes (2 hours) with the vehicle safely raised on jack stands or hoist. All mounting points utilise factory locations or simple bolt-on brackets without chassis modification or welding required. Air lines route cleanly along existing chassis rails with supplied clips and fittings. After installation, wheel alignment is not typically required as this is a helper spring system that supplements existing suspension geometry without altering ride height when deflated. For enhanced suspension performance and geometry correction under lifted or loaded conditions, consider pairing with upgraded control arms or premium shock absorbers for a complete touring or towing suspension package.

This Airbag Man kit (CR5139) is specifically engineered for Ford Everest Next-Gen models from 2022-2024 (P704 chassis code) in both 4x4 and 4x2 configurations. It's designed to work with the factory rear coil spring suspension setup on these vehicles. The kit includes all vehicle-specific mounting hardware and brackets for direct bolt-on fitment. If you're unsure about your exact model year or variant, our technical team can confirm fitment using your VIN number.
This air suspension helper kit doesn't technically increase your vehicle's GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) rating, which is a legal limit set by the manufacturer. However, it does help your suspension effectively manage loads up to the existing GVM by preventing rear squat, maintaining ride height, and improving stability under heavy loads. When properly inflated, the airbags significantly reduce suspension compression and body roll when towing or carrying maximum payload. Always ensure your total vehicle weight including passengers, cargo, and towing loads stays within Ford's specified GVM and GCM (Gross Combined Mass) limits.
This complete kit includes everything needed for installation: two heavy-duty airbags specifically designed for coil spring applications, all mounting brackets and hardware, nylon air line tubing, push-to-connect air fittings, two Schrader inflation valves for mounting in convenient locations, and comprehensive step-by-step installation instructions with diagrams. You'll also get QR code access to digital fitting guides and operation manuals. No additional components need to be purchased separately — the kit is designed as a complete solution ready to install.
Absolutely — this is one of the most popular applications for air suspension helper kits on the Ford Everest Next-Gen. The adjustable airbags dramatically improve towing stability by eliminating rear squat, reducing body roll and sway, and maintaining proper suspension geometry under caravan ball weight (typically 200-350kg on the Everest). You can adjust air pressure to match your specific caravan weight, and even fine-tune left/right balance for uneven loads. Most customers towing medium to large caravans run 40-70 PSI depending on van weight, with the ability to deflate completely when not towing to restore factory ride comfort.
No, control arm upgrades are not required when installing this air suspension helper kit, as it works alongside your factory coil springs without changing fundamental suspension geometry or ride height when deflated. However, if you're planning to also install a lift kit or frequently run at maximum GVM with the airbags fully inflated, upgraded control arms with improved bushings and geometry correction can be beneficial. Control arm upgrades help maintain proper alignment angles, reduce bushing wear, and improve handling — particularly for vehicles used for heavy towing or serious off-road touring.
Wheel alignment is typically not required after installing this air suspension helper kit, as it supplements your existing coil springs without permanently altering ride height or suspension geometry (when deflated). The kit mounts within the factory suspension design without changing control arm angles or toe settings. However, if you notice any steering pull or uneven tyre wear after installation, or if you're combining this kit with other suspension modifications like a lift kit, a professional wheel alignment is always recommended. It's also good practice to have alignment checked annually as part of regular maintenance.
Yes — this is the primary advantage of air suspension helper systems. You can adjust air pressure from 0 PSI (completely deflated for unladen driving) up to 100 PSI (maximum load support) in seconds using any standard air compressor or tyre pump via the installed Schrader valves. Start with low pressure and increase gradually until your vehicle returns to level ride height — typical pressures range from 20-40 PSI for moderate camping loads to 50-80 PSI for heavy caravan towing. Each airbag can be adjusted independently to compensate for uneven side-to-side weight distribution, providing precise load leveling for any situation.
This air suspension helper kit is designed for load support rather than lift height, so it won't provide additional tyre clearance when deflated (which is the normal driving position). When inflated under load, the airbags help maintain factory ride height rather than increasing it, preventing the rear squat that would normally reduce tyre clearance. If your goal is to fit larger tyres, you'll need a dedicated suspension lift kit that raises both front and rear suspension. However, this airbag kit works excellently in combination with a lift kit to provide both increased clearance and adjustable load support for touring and towing applications.
Airbag Man provides comprehensive warranty coverage on this air suspension kit, reflecting their confidence in 25+ years of Australian engineering and manufacturing expertise. Specific warranty terms cover manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the airbags, hardware, and all included components. Warranty duration and conditions are detailed in the documentation included with your kit and available on the Airbag Man website. For warranty claims or technical support, Airbag Man's Australian-based customer service team provides direct assistance, and 4WD Suspension Australia can help facilitate any warranty process if required.
Yes, this kit is excellent for daily driving, particularly if you regularly carry rear passengers or cargo in your Everest. When deflated (0 PSI), the airbags sit dormant and your vehicle retains the factory coil spring ride quality — comfortable, quiet, and compliant for everyday use. When you add load (family trip with luggage, shopping, work equipment), simply add air pressure to restore level ride height and optimal handling. This versatility makes air suspension ideal for vehicles that serve dual purposes: comfortable family transport during the week and heavy-duty towing or touring on weekends. Unlike permanent heavy-duty springs that can be harsh when unloaded, air suspension adapts to your actual load.

Installation was straightforward and being able to adjust the pressure depending on load has been a game changer for our monthly camping runs.(5)
Best upgrade I've done to the Everest
Been running these airbag helper springs for about three months now, carting tools and materials to sites every day. The difference when I'm loaded up is night and day - no more sagging rear end and the ride stays level even with a tonne of gear in the back. Installation was straightforward enough, and they've handled everything from city driving to some decent dirt tracks on remote jobs without any dramas.(5)
Perfect Support for Heavy Touring Loads
Been running the Airbag Man helper kit on my Next-Gen Everest for six months now, including a recent Cape York trip with full touring setup. The difference when loaded is night and day - maintains proper ride height even with water, recovery gear, and rooftop tent, plus the adjustability means I can fine-tune for different track conditions. Fitment was straightforward and build quality has held up perfectly through corrugations and creek crossings.(5)
Perfect for Family Camping Trips
Been using these air suspension helpers for about six months now, taking the Everest out to various campsites around Victoria with the family. The difference when loaded up with camping gear, roof tent, and the kids' bikes is night and day - no more sagging rear end and the ride quality stays comfortable even on corrugated tracks. Installation was straightforward enough for a home job, and being able to adjust the pressure for different loads is brilliant.(5)
Perfect for Heavy Loads on the Job
Had these airbag helper springs fitted to my Next-Gen Everest about three months back and they've been an absolute game changer. Carry a tonne of tools and equipment every day, plus regular trips out to regional sites with the van hitched up, and the ride stays level and controlled even when fully loaded. Installation was straightforward enough and the quality feels proper robust. Worth every cent for anyone who actually works their truck hard.(5)
