The beauty of air suspension is infinite adjustability — simply match your air pressure to your current load. For normal driving without cargo, run 5-15 PSI for a comfortable ride. When carrying trade equipment, canopy loads, or camping gear, increase to 30-50 PSI. For heavy towing applications such as caravans over 2000kg, boat trailers, or maximum payload scenarios, inflate to 70-100 PSI for optimal support and levelling. Always adjust pressure to maintain a level ride height and never exceed your vehicle's Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) rating regardless of airbag pressure.
This Airbag Man kit is classified as an "Easy Fit" system with an estimated installation time of 120 minutes for experienced DIY mechanics with proper tools and jack stands. The airbags mount between the existing leaf spring pack and chassis using supplied brackets — no welding or drilling required on most applications. Professional installation is recommended for those unfamiliar with suspension work to ensure correct positioning, secure mounting, and proper air line routing. After installation, check all fittings for air leaks, adjust pressure to suit your current load, and inspect mounting hardware after the first 100km of driving. For a complete rear suspension upgrade on heavily loaded Tritons, consider pairing these airbags with upgraded rear shock absorbers for maximum control and comfort.
Airbag Man has been Australia's trusted air suspension specialist for over 25 years, with systems fitted to thousands of 4WDs, utes, vans, and commercial vehicles across the country. Every kit is engineered for Australian conditions — from corrugated Gibb River Road to smooth Pacific Highway towing, from dusty building sites to salt-laden coastal tracks. Airbag Man products are backed by comprehensive warranty coverage and decades of proven reliability among tradies, grey nomads, and 4WD tourers who demand dependable load support.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered for Mitsubishi Triton ML (July 2006-2009) and MN (2009-2015) models in both 4x4 and 4x2 configurations. It suits all body styles including single cab, extra cab, and dual cab variants equipped with rear leaf spring suspension. The kit will not fit later MQ, MR, or current generation Tritons which have different rear suspension geometry. If you're unsure about your exact model series, check your compliance plate or contact our team with your VIN for confirmation.
Airbag Man kits don't technically increase your legal GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) rating, but they do allow you to safely utilize your vehicle's full payload capacity without the rear suspension sagging or compressing excessively. They can support hundreds of additional kilograms when properly inflated, preventing the typical rear squat associated with heavy loads, toolboxes, canopies, or towing. The actual capacity depends on your inflation pressure (5-100 PSI range) and how much of your factory payload allowance you're using. Always stay within your manufacturer's GVM limits regardless of airbag support.
This Airbag Man kit includes everything needed for installation: two heavy-duty airbags (left and right), all mounting brackets and hardware, nylon air lines, fittings and connectors, inflation valves, and detailed step-by-step instructions accessible via QR code. You'll receive a complete bolt-in system ready to install. The only item not included is an air compressor for inflation — you can use any standard air compressor, service station air, or purchase a dedicated on-board system separately. All fasteners, brackets, and components are included so you won't need to source additional parts.
Absolutely — towing is one of the primary applications for this airbag system. When towing caravans, camper trailers, or boat trailers, the Triton's rear suspension can sag significantly, reducing stability and causing poor headlight aim. These airbags restore level ride height and dramatically improve towing stability by reducing body roll and sway. Simply inflate the airbags to match your towball weight (typically 50-100 PSI for heavy caravans) and you'll experience much more confident and controlled towing, particularly in crosswinds or when overtaking road trains on highways.
No, control arm upgrades are not necessary when installing airbag helpers since this kit works with your existing leaf spring suspension and doesn't change suspension geometry or ride height. Airbags function as supplementary support rather than a lift modification. However, if your Triton has covered significant kilometres or you're experiencing handling issues, worn control arm bushes should be replaced during any suspension work. Control arms become more critical if you later decide to install a suspension lift kit alongside the airbags, but they're not required for this airbag installation alone.
Wheel alignment is generally not required after installing airbag helpers, as they don't alter your Triton's suspension geometry, ride height, or steering angles when installed correctly. Unlike lift kits that change suspension positioning, airbags simply provide additional load support within the existing suspension travel. However, if your vehicle hasn't had an alignment check in some time, or if you notice uneven tyre wear, it's always good practice to have alignment verified. If you install airbags alongside other suspension modifications like lift kits or control arms, then professional alignment becomes mandatory.
Yes — infinite adjustability is the key advantage of air suspension systems. You can adjust pressure in seconds using any air compressor via the valve stems (similar to inflating tyres). Run 5-15 PSI for comfortable empty driving, increase to 30-50 PSI for moderate loads like camping gear or trade equipment, and inflate to 70-100 PSI for heavy towing or maximum payload scenarios. This versatility makes airbags perfect for vehicles that switch between daily driving and weekend towing. There's no need to compromise with fixed-rate springs that are either too soft when empty or too stiff when loaded.
This airbag kit doesn't provide suspension lift or increase tyre clearance — it's designed for load support and levelling rather than lift height. Your tyre fitment will remain the same as before installation. If you want to fit larger tyres (such as upgrading from 265s to 285s or adding more aggressive tread patterns), you'll need a dedicated suspension lift kit to provide additional clearance in the wheel arches and maintain proper suspension geometry. Airbags and lift kits can be combined — many Triton owners run both to achieve lifted ride height with adjustable load support for the ultimate touring and towing setup.
Airbag Man backs their products with comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage, reflecting over 25 years of proven reliability in the Australian market. Specific warranty terms cover manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for the airbags, brackets, and components when installed correctly and used within normal operating parameters. Warranty does not cover damage from incorrect installation, over-inflation beyond maximum PSI ratings, or external damage from off-road impacts. Keep your proof of purchase and follow the installation instructions carefully to maintain full warranty protection. Contact us for detailed warranty terms specific to this kit.
Yes, Airbag Man systems are perfectly suited for daily driving — in fact, many Triton owners run them inflated to low pressure (5-15 PSI) even when unloaded to provide a slightly firmer, more controlled ride. When running empty, you can deflate the airbags completely or maintain minimal pressure with no adverse effects on ride quality or comfort. The system remains dormant at low pressures and only provides significant support when inflated for loaded conditions. This makes the kit ideal for tradies who drive empty to job sites then load up materials, or tourers who commute during the week but tow caravans on weekends — adjust support to match every journey.
Game changer for the loaded work ute
Had these airbag helpers fitted to my MN Triton about three months back and the difference is night and day when I'm carrying a tonne of tools and materials. No more saggy rear end or dodgy handling on the way to job sites. Installation was straightforward enough and they've handled some pretty rough tracks out to remote sites without any dramas.(5)
Perfect for our loaded family camping trips
Fitted these airbag helpers to our MN Triton before our last trip down the coast and the difference was night and day. We load up pretty heavy with the camper trailer, kids' gear, and all the camping equipment, and the rear used to sag badly. The ride is so much more controlled now and levelled out perfectly, plus the missus reckons it's actually more comfortable on corrugations when we're loaded up.(5)
