The Airbag Man Air Helper Kit (CR5138) fits Ford Everest UA models built 2015 to 2022 and adds adjustable air support inside the factory rear coil springs to stop sag when towing or loaded. Pressure is adjustable via a valve fitted at the rear of the vehicle, so you can dial in support from empty to full touring weight without raising unloaded ride height. It works alongside your standard coil springs rather than replacing them, so factory ride quality is retained when unladen. Backed by manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock with fitment support from our team.
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.

Set air pressure to match your constant accessory load — an empty Everest needs little to no air, while a loaded canopy, dual battery tray, bullbar, or a hitched caravan needs more pressure to level the rear and stop sag. Common accessories that push up rear load include steel bullbars, canopies, long-range fuel tanks, drawer systems and loaded roof racks. Start low, add air in small increments and check ride height and handling before a long tow.
This kit is a straightforward workshop or experienced DIY fit, working within the existing rear coil spring location without cutting or permanent changes to the spring perches. Because unloaded ride height is unchanged, a wheel alignment isn't automatically required, but we recommend a check if you run higher air pressures for extended periods or notice a change in rear height. Allow the airbags a short bed-in period after fitting and re-check air line fittings for leaks after the first few loaded trips. If you're also running a lift kit on this Everest, pair this helper kit with correctly matched control arm upgrades to keep suspension geometry correct at ride height.
Airbag Man is an established Australian brand specialising in air suspension helper kits for utes, wagons and 4WDs, built to work within the factory suspension rather than replace it. Kits are backed by manufacturer warranty and are commonly fitted by tradespeople and caravan tourers who need adjustable load support rather than a fixed lift. You can view the full Airbag Man range to compare helper kits across other 4WD and ute platforms.
This kit suits Everest UA owners who tow a caravan or trailer regularly, tradespeople running a loaded canopy or tray, and tourers carrying camping gear, water and recovery equipment in the rear. If your factory rear coils sag under load, an airbag suspension helper kit gives you adjustable support without permanently stiffening the ride when the vehicle is empty.

Genuine Airbag Man suspension from an authorised Australian dealer.
Yes, the CR5138 Air Helper Kit is designed for the Ford Everest UA built between 2015 and 2022, fitting inside the factory rear coil springs. It suits the vehicle's standard rear coil-sprung setup across the model run. If your Everest has aftermarket rear coil springs already fitted, check with our team before ordering to confirm compatible spring seat clearances. Our fitment support can confirm your exact build against this kit's specifications.
This kit doesn't add static lift height — it's a load-support accessory, not a lift kit. When unloaded and deflated, your Everest sits at its normal factory ride height. Under load or when towing, inflating the airbags restores level ride height rather than lifting the vehicle further, which stops the rear from sagging.
The kit includes 2 x Airbag Man air helper springs for the rear, upper and lower mounting brackets, an air line kit with push-fit fittings, an inflation valve mounted at the rear bumper, a T-piece air line junction, and mounting hardware. Fitting instructions are included. Your factory rear coil springs stay in place — this kit works alongside them, not instead of them.
Yes, that's its main purpose. The adjustable air pressure lets you add support specifically for towing a caravan or trailer, reducing rear sag and improving stability when the tow ball weight loads up the rear of the Everest. You air down again for normal unladen driving once the trailer is off.
Not for this kit on its own, since it doesn't change your Everest's static ride height. Control arm upgrades become relevant if you're also fitting a separate lift kit, where corrected geometry helps keep CV and steering angles within range. Our team can advise if you're combining this helper kit with a lift.
Not automatically, because unloaded ride height stays at factory spec with this kit. We do recommend a wheel alignment check if you regularly run higher air pressures for extended touring or notice any change in rear ride height over time. This is a sensible precaution rather than a strict requirement.
This is an air-adjustable kit rather than a fixed spring-rate product, so instead of choosing a spring rate you adjust air pressure to suit your load. This gives you a range of support levels from empty running through to fully loaded towing, all from one kit. There's no need to swap springs for different loads.
Since this kit doesn't raise static ride height, it won't create extra tyre clearance on its own. If you're planning larger tyres, that's a separate consideration tied to a lift kit rather than this air helper kit. Speak to our team if you want to combine both upgrades on your Everest.
This kit is covered by Airbag Man's manufacturer warranty against faults in materials and workmanship. We dispatch from Australian stock and our team can assist with any warranty queries after purchase. Keep your proof of purchase for warranty claims.
Yes. You can run the airbags deflated or at a low pressure for normal unladen daily driving, keeping factory ride quality, and only add air when you're loaded up or towing. This flexibility is the main advantage over a fixed heavier-rate coil spring.
