Airbag pressure should be adjusted based on your actual load weight and distribution. Start with 20-30 PSI for moderate loads like camping gear and passengers, increasing to 50-70 PSI for heavy caravan towing or maximum payload situations. The airbags are designed to work in conjunction with your factory suspension, not replace it, so always maintain some air pressure (minimum 5 PSI) to prevent airbag damage. Common load scenarios for Everest owners include bull bars and winches (front-heavy), dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, roof racks with rooftop tents, rear drawers and fridge systems, and tow ball weights from caravans and camper trailers.
This is classified as an Easy Fit Kit with an estimated installation time of 120 minutes for experienced home mechanics with proper tools and safety equipment. Professional installation is recommended if you're not confident working under your vehicle with jack stands. The kit includes comprehensive step-by-step instructions accessible via QR code on the packaging, with detailed diagrams showing exact mounting points. No cutting or drilling of chassis components is required for the Everest UA fitment. After installation, test the system at various pressures while stationary before driving, and regularly inspect airbags, air lines and fittings for wear or damage, especially before long trips.

This CR5138 kit is specifically engineered to fit all Ford Everest UA models manufactured between July 2015 and 2022 with factory rear coil spring suspension. It suits all engine variants including diesel and petrol options across Ambiente, Trend, Titanium and Sport trim levels. The kit installs between your existing coil springs and chassis rails without requiring modifications to factory mounting points. If you have a pre-2015 or post-2022 Everest model, please check our parts finder for the correct application-specific kit for your year.
This Airbag Man helper kit doesn't technically increase your vehicle's legal GVM or payload rating, but it does support your existing suspension system to maintain ride height and stability when carrying loads up to your factory specifications. The adjustable air springs can support several hundred kilograms of load that would otherwise cause rear sag and compromise handling. Most Everest owners find they can comfortably carry full camping setups, tow caravans with significant tow ball weight, or load trade equipment while maintaining level vehicle stance. The key benefit is that you can adjust air pressure to match your actual load, from empty to maximum legal payload.
This complete kit includes two heavy-duty airbags designed for rear coil spring applications, all necessary mounting brackets and hardware, nylon air line tubing, fittings and connectors, and an inflation valve assembly for manual pressure adjustment. You'll also receive detailed installation instructions accessible via QR code and a comprehensive operation manual. The kit is designed as a complete solution so you won't need to source additional components for basic installation. However, an optional in-cab inflation system with onboard compressor is available separately if you want the convenience of adjusting pressure from the driver's seat without exiting the vehicle.
Absolutely, this kit is ideal for Everest owners who regularly tow caravans, camper trailers, boat trailers or any heavy loads that create significant tow ball weight. The adjustable air springs eliminate rear squat caused by tow ball downforce, maintaining level vehicle stance which improves steering response, braking stability and headlight aim. Proper ride height also ensures your caravan remains level for better aerodynamics and reduced sway. Many long-distance tourers consider air helper kits essential equipment, as they can adjust pressure to suit different towing loads and road conditions. Combined with a quality weight distribution hitch, this kit dramatically improves towing safety and comfort on Australian highways and outback tracks.
The Airbag Man helper kit works effectively with your factory suspension components and doesn't require mandatory upgrades for normal use. However, if you're regularly carrying heavy loads or towing, many Everest owners choose to upgrade their shock absorbers to heavy-duty or adjustable units that better complement the increased load capacity. If you've fitted a substantial lift kit or plan to run larger tyres, upgraded control arms may also be beneficial for maintaining proper suspension geometry. The airbag kit integrates seamlessly with aftermarket suspension upgrades, so you can start with airbags and add other components as your needs and budget allow.
Wheel alignment is not typically required after installing air helper springs, as they don't alter your vehicle's suspension geometry or ride height in the same way that coil spring replacements or lift kits do. The airbags install within the existing suspension architecture without changing control arm angles or steering geometry. However, it's always good practice to have your alignment checked if you notice any steering pull or uneven tyre wear after any suspension work. If you're installing this kit as part of a larger suspension upgrade that includes lift components, then wheel alignment becomes essential to ensure proper handling, tyre life and safety.
The CR5138 kit is specifically designed and valved for the Ford Everest UA's weight, suspension geometry and typical load applications, so it comes as a matched set optimized for this vehicle. Unlike coil springs which require you to choose a specific load rating at purchase, the beauty of air suspension is its adjustability—you simply inflate to the pressure required for your current load. This single kit handles everything from empty vehicle touring to maximum payload situations by adjusting air pressure between 5 and 100 PSI. If you have very specific heavy-duty requirements beyond typical touring and towing loads, contact our technical team to discuss commercial-grade options or supplementary suspension upgrades.
This air helper kit is designed primarily for load support and leveling rather than lift height, so it won't provide additional clearance for larger tyres when the vehicle is at normal ride height. The airbags work within your existing suspension travel to prevent sag under load, effectively maintaining your factory clearances rather than increasing them. If your goal is to fit larger tyres, you'll need a dedicated lift kit that raises your entire suspension system. However, this airbag kit is an excellent complement to a lift kit, as it helps maintain your increased ride height even when the vehicle is loaded, preventing the sag that would otherwise reduce the clearance you gained from lifting.
Airbag Man stands behind their products with comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage against defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period and terms are detailed in the documentation included with your kit and cover the airbags, hardware and components under normal use conditions. Warranty coverage requires proper installation according to the supplied instructions and normal maintenance including regular inspection of air lines and fittings. As an authorized Airbag Man dealer, 4WD Suspension Australia fully supports all warranty claims and can assist with any product issues. Keep your receipt and installation records, and register your product with Airbag Man for full warranty protection.
Yes, this Airbag Man kit is excellent for daily driving and actually improves on-road comfort and safety when your Everest is loaded. When inflated to match your load, the airbags reduce body roll in corners, minimize rear squat under acceleration, and maintain level stance for better weight distribution and braking performance. For daily commuting without heavy loads, you can run lower air pressure (around 10-15 PSI) to maintain a comfortable ride similar to factory while still having the protection and support available. Many tradies who use their Everest as a daily driver and work vehicle appreciate being able to adjust suspension firmness to suit whether they're empty commuting or loaded with tools and equipment. The system is completely adjustable to your driving conditions.
