The Airbag Man High Pressure Air Suspension Helper Kit is purpose-built for the coil-sprung rear end on Dodge Ram 1500, working alongside your factory coil springs rather than replacing them. Two heavy-duty rubber air springs mount between chassis and axle, adjustable via chrome inflation valves so you can add exactly the support you need for a loaded tray, canopy or towball weight. This cuts rear sag when hitched up or fully loaded and keeps headlights and brake bias where they should be, without altering unladen ride height like a standard coil spring upgrade would. Supplied as a bolt-in kit with fittings and instructions, in stock in Australia with fitment guidance from our team.

This kit doesn't replace your coil spring rate — instead you tune air pressure in the bags to suit the load you're carrying at the time. As a guide, run less air for an unloaded or lightly loaded ute and increase pressure through the valves before towing a caravan, loading a slide-on canopy, or carrying water tanks and camping gear. Common accessories that increase constant rear load include tow bars and hitches, dual battery trays, water tanks, bull bars (front) and tray/canopy fit-outs, all of which benefit from a quick pressure top-up before you head off.
Fitment is straightforward for an experienced DIY installer with basic hand tools, though many customers have it fitted by a workshop in under half a day. Because this kit works with the factory coil springs and doesn't change unladen ride height, a wheel alignment isn't mandatory after fitting — but it's still worth checking if you've recently had other suspension work done. There's no shock or spring break-in period since the factory dampers and coils remain in place. If you're also chasing better geometry or ride quality at higher constant loads, look at pairing this kit with upgraded control arms or a set of load-rated shock absorbers.
Airbag Man designs and tests its air spring kits in Australia, focusing on load-carrying and towing applications common to Australian utes and 4WDs. The high pressure design in this kit is aimed at vehicles that regularly carry or tow heavier loads and need more adjustable support than the standard kit offers. Backed by a manufacturer warranty and available direct from stock, you can view the full Airbag Man range for other Dodge Ram and 4WD applications.
This kit suits Dodge Ram 1500 owners who tow caravans, boats or trailers regularly and want to limit rear-end squat without a full spring change. It also works well for tradespeople carrying tools, equipment or a canopy fit-out, and for tourers loading water tanks, batteries and camping gear for extended trips. If you're after adjustable airbag suspension that you can dial up or down depending on what's in the tray, this is the type of kit to look at.

This Airbag Man high pressure helper kit is designed for the Dodge Ram 1500 with coil-sprung rear suspension, fitted to the DT-series 5th generation from 2019 onward. It's built to work with the factory rear coil springs rather than the leaf-sprung setups used on earlier Ram 1500 models. If you're unsure which rear suspension your Ram runs, check your VIN or get in touch with our team before ordering.
This is a load-support kit, not a lift kit, so it doesn't raise your unladen ride height. The air springs sit alongside your factory coil springs and only add support when you pump air into them, typically before towing or loading up. When unloaded and deflated, your Ram sits at its normal factory height. If you're after an actual ride height increase, our lift kit range covers raised coil options separately.
The kit includes two high pressure Airbag Man air springs, upper and lower mounting brackets, two chrome inflation valves, a braided air line kit with fittings, a T-piece connector and all mounting hardware. Detailed fitting instructions are included, written for the Dodge Ram 1500 coil-sprung rear. An air compressor isn't included, but the valves accept a standard tyre inflator or 12V compressor.
Yes, that's the main use case for this kit. Increasing air pressure in the bags before hitching up reduces rear-end squat, which helps keep the vehicle level, improves headlight aim and reduces the chance of trailer sway caused by a nose-down stance. You adjust the pressure manually through the valves depending on towball weight, so you can run less air unloaded and more when hitched.
No, control arm upgrades aren't required for this kit since it doesn't change your Ram's ride height or suspension geometry. The air springs work alongside the factory coil springs without altering control arm angles. If you later fit a lift kit as well, that's when control arm geometry correction becomes relevant — see our control arm range for that scenario.
Wheel alignment isn't mandatory after fitting this kit because unladen ride height and suspension geometry stay the same as factory. It's still good practice to have your alignment checked if any other suspension components were disturbed during fitment. If you're combining this kit with a lift kit or other suspension changes, alignment should be done after that separate work.
This kit doesn't involve swapping your coil spring rate — instead you tune the amount of air pressure in the bags to suit your load on any given trip. Run minimal pressure unloaded and increase it through the valves before towing a caravan or carrying a loaded canopy. This gives you a wider working range than a fixed-rate spring without needing to change parts for different loads.
Because this kit doesn't raise ride height at rest, it won't create extra clearance for larger tyres on its own. Tyre clearance will remain as per your factory Dodge Ram 1500 setup unless you also fit a lift kit. If bigger tyres are the goal, check out our Airbag Man suspension range for options that combine load support with an actual lift.
This Airbag Man kit is covered by a manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Our team can talk you through the specific warranty terms and help with any claims if an issue comes up. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date on hand, as these are usually required for a warranty claim.
Yes, this kit is designed for daily use and doesn't affect how your Ram 1500 drives when the air springs are deflated or run at low pressure. Many owners leave the bags at a light base pressure for daily driving and simply add air before a towing or loading trip. Because the factory coil springs and geometry are untouched, everyday ride and handling stay as they were from the factory.
