The beauty of air suspension is infinite adjustability — simply inflate or deflate the airbags to match your current load. Start with 10-15 PSI for unladen daily driving, then increase pressure as you add weight. For towing caravans or camper trailers, most users run 40-60 PSI, while maximum payload scenarios may require 80-100 PSI. Always measure your vehicle's ride height and adjust pressure to return the rear end to factory level stance. Common accessories that affect air pressure requirements include steel canopies, drawer systems, dual battery setups, water tanks, roof racks, roof-top tents, and towing heavy trailers or caravans.
This kit is designed for straightforward installation and can be fitted by experienced DIY enthusiasts with basic mechanical skills in approximately 2 hours, though professional installation is recommended for best results. The airbags mount between the rear axle and chassis using the supplied brackets and hardware, with air lines routed to a convenient inflation point. No cutting or drilling of chassis rails is required on most applications. While wheel alignment is not mandatory for airbag installation (unlike lift kits), it's recommended to check rear axle alignment if you're regularly running high pressures or notice uneven tyre wear. Pair this system with upgraded shock absorbers for maximum load-carrying performance and ride quality.

Yes, this kit is specifically engineered to fit Mitsubishi Triton MQ (2015-2018) and MR (2019-2023) models in both 4x2 and 4x4 configurations. The kit suits factory leaf spring rear suspensions and is designed to work with standard and accessorized vehicles. If your Triton has been fitted with aftermarket suspension components or significant modifications, please contact our team to confirm compatibility. The kit works alongside existing leaf springs as a helper system, so no removal of factory components is required.
This is a load-leveling helper kit, not a lift kit — its primary purpose is to restore factory ride height when carrying loads or towing, rather than increase ground clearance. When inflated, the airbags can support additional payload and prevent rear-end sag of up to 500-800kg depending on pressure settings. The adjustable pressure range (5-100 PSI) allows you to dial in the perfect support level for any load condition. If you're looking for permanent lift height increase, consider our range of dedicated lift kits that include raised springs and extended shocks.
The kit includes everything needed for installation: 2 heavy-duty airbags designed for the Triton rear axle, all mounting brackets and hardware, high-pressure nylon air line tubing, inflation valve fittings and connectors, U-bolts and fasteners, plus detailed step-by-step fitting instructions accessible via QR code. The comprehensive instruction manual covers installation, operation, maintenance and troubleshooting. Note that an air compressor is not included — you can use a portable air compressor, service station air, or install an in-vehicle compressor system with dashboard controls for maximum convenience.
Absolutely — this is one of the most popular applications for air suspension helpers. The Airbag Man kit dramatically improves towing stability by preventing rear-end sag, maintaining optimal weight distribution, and reducing trailer sway and body roll. By keeping your Triton level when towing, you'll improve headlight aim, braking performance, steering response and overall safety. Most caravan towers run 40-60 PSI depending on ball weight, while heavy trailers may require higher pressures. The adjustable nature means you can fine-tune pressure for different trailers or load conditions throughout your trip.
No, this airbag helper kit works with your factory suspension components and doesn't require control arm upgrades for installation. The airbags mount between the axle and chassis to provide additional support to your existing leaf springs. However, if you're planning a complete suspension upgrade that includes lift height, you may want to consider pairing this with upgraded shocks for improved damping performance under load. Many Triton owners also upgrade to heavy-duty leaf springs when carrying constant heavy loads, but the airbag system can be installed independently and will work with either factory or aftermarket springs.
Wheel alignment is not mandatory after installing airbag helpers, as the kit doesn't alter your vehicle's suspension geometry or ride height permanently — it simply provides adjustable support. However, if you're regularly running high air pressures or notice uneven rear tyre wear, it's worth having your rear axle alignment checked. Unlike lift kits that raise the vehicle and shift suspension angles, airbag systems work within the factory suspension range. That said, if you're installing airbags as part of a larger suspension upgrade, a full four-wheel alignment is always recommended for optimal handling and tyre life.
This kit comes with airbags specifically engineered and tested for the Mitsubishi Triton MQ-MR platform, with pressure ratings optimized for the vehicle's weight, suspension geometry and typical load requirements. The 5-100 PSI range provides ample adjustability for virtually all load scenarios from unladen to maximum GVM. Unlike coil spring rates that must be chosen at purchase, air suspension gives you infinite adjustment within the pressure range. If you have unique requirements or extreme load conditions, contact our suspension experts to discuss your specific application and ensure this kit meets your needs.
This airbag helper kit maintains or restores factory ride height when under load — it's not designed to provide additional ground clearance for larger tyres. If you want to fit significantly larger tyres, you'll need a dedicated suspension lift kit that raises the vehicle and provides additional clearance in the wheel arches. However, the airbag system is excellent for maintaining clearance when loaded, preventing larger tyres from rubbing against wheel arches when your Triton is carrying weight. Many customers install both a lift kit for height and airbags for load support, creating the ultimate touring and towing setup.
Airbag Man stands behind their products with comprehensive warranty coverage, giving you peace of mind for years of reliable service.

Airbag Man has been manufacturing air suspension systems in Australia for over 25 years and maintains an excellent reputation for product quality and customer support.

Yes, this kit is perfect for daily driving and excels in off-road conditions. When running low pressure (or deflated), the airbags allow your factory leaf springs to work normally, maintaining comfortable on-road ride quality for daily commuting. When you load up for weekend adventures or off-road touring, simply inflate the airbags to restore ride height and improve stability. The heavy-duty construction with reinforced rubber and corrosion-resistant fittings is built to withstand outback corrugations, water crossings and harsh conditions. Many touring enthusiasts adjust pressure throughout their trip — higher for highway towing, lower for off-road articulation and comfort.
Best upgrade for my work Triton
Had the Airbag Man helper kit fitted to my MR Triton about three months ago and it's been brilliant for carrying tools and materials to job sites. The difference when loaded is night and day - no more sagging rear end when I've got a tonne of gear in the tray. Installation was pretty straightforward too, took my mechanic about two hours all up.(5)
Perfect for our loaded family camping trips
These Airbag Man helper springs have completely transformed how our Triton handles when we're loaded up with the camper trailer, swags, and all the family gear. The rear end no longer sags when we head out bush for the weekend, and the ride quality is noticeably smoother even on corrugated tracks. Installation was straightforward enough to tackle in the driveway, and being able to adjust the pressure for different loads is brilliant. Well worth the investment for anyone who regularly tours with a full load.(5)
