The Airbag Man Air Suspension Helper Kit (RR4524) suits Mitsubishi Triton ME-MJ leaf spring models built 1986-1996 and works alongside your factory leaf springs to eliminate rear sag under load. Each air spring is adjustable from near-empty to full load pressure, so you dial in exactly the support needed for a loaded canopy, camper or caravan tow-ball weight. It's a genuine helper kit — designed to complement your existing leaf springs, not replace worn ones. In stock in Australia now, backed by manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our team.

Because this is an adjustable air-assisted helper kit rather than a fixed spring rate product, you set the support level yourself by pumping the air springs to suit the load on the day. Common accessories that increase the required air pressure include a fitted canopy, dual battery and fridge setup, water tank, tool boxes, or a caravan/trailer tow-ball weight. As a rule, start low and add air in small increments until rear sag disappears and the vehicle sits level.
Fitting involves mounting the air springs between the axle and chassis rail alongside the existing leaf springs, then running the air lines to an accessible inflation point — a job suited to an experienced DIY fitter or your usual suspension workshop. Wheel alignment is not typically required afterwards since this kit does not permanently change static ride height, but it's worth checking if you've also fitted new leaf springs at the same time. Allow a short bed-in period after first inflation and recheck air pressure and fittings after the first loaded trip. Pairing this kit with upgraded control arm upgrades is only relevant if you're also fitting a lift kit alongside it.
Airbag Man designs and tests its air spring range in Australia, with products aimed squarely at the load conditions Australian tow vehicles and work utes actually see. The double convoluted bellows and dual valve design used across the range is built for repeated inflation cycles under varying loads, not a one-off fitment. Backed by manufacturer warranty and trusted by tradespeople and caravan towers alike, you can view the full Airbag Man range for other models.
This kit suits Triton ME-MJ owners who regularly tow a caravan or trailer, run a loaded canopy or tray, or carry camping gear that sags the rear end. If you're chasing dedicated airbag suspension for consistent load levelling rather than a fixed lift, this helper kit is the more targeted option than a full leaf spring upgrade.

Yes, the RR4524 kit is built specifically for Mitsubishi Triton ME-MJ models with leaf spring rear suspension, covering the 1986-1996 build range. It suits both 2WD and 4WD variants across petrol and diesel engines fitted with the factory leaf spring setup. If you're unsure which series your Triton is, check the compatibility table above or contact our team with your build plate details.
This is a helper kit, not a lift kit, so it doesn't raise your Triton's unladen ride height. Instead, adjustable air pressure in each bellows restores level ride height once the vehicle is loaded, counteracting the sag you'd otherwise get from towing or carrying weight. If you need a permanent height increase as well, pair this kit with a leaf spring upgrade or ask about our lift kit options.
The kit includes 2 x Airbag Man rubber air springs, upper and lower mounting brackets, braided air lines, dual chrome-plated inflation valves, mounting hardware and a fitting instruction sheet. Shock absorbers, leaf springs and U-bolts are not included and are sold separately. See the full kit contents list above for exact quantities.
Yes, this is one of the main reasons Triton owners fit this kit. Increasing air pressure in the bellows as tow-ball weight goes up helps keep the rear end level, which improves headlight aim and steering feel behind a loaded caravan or trailer. It works alongside your existing leaf springs rather than overloading them on its own.
No, control arm upgrades aren't required with this helper kit. Control arms relate to front coil-sprung independent suspension geometry, whereas this kit fits the leaf spring rear end of the ME-MJ Triton. Control arm upgrades are only relevant if you're separately fitting a front coil lift kit to the same vehicle.
Generally no, because this kit doesn't permanently alter static ride height or front-end geometry. It's still good practice to have your alignment checked if you're fitting other suspension components at the same time, such as new leaf springs. If you notice any handling change after fitment, have your workshop inspect the rear axle alignment.
You don't choose a fixed spring rate with this kit — instead you adjust air pressure in each bellows to suit the load on the day, from near-empty for an unladen ride to full pressure for maximum tow-ball or payload support. The dual valve setup also lets you run different pressures left and right if your load is uneven. This gives more flexibility than a fixed-rate leaf spring alone.
No, because this kit doesn't raise unladen ride height, it won't create extra tyre clearance on its own. If you're planning larger tyres, you'll need a genuine lift kit or raised leaf springs in addition to this helper kit. Contact our team for tyre clearance advice specific to your Triton ME-MJ.
This Airbag Man kit is covered by manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your proof of purchase and follow the fitting instructions to ensure any warranty claim is straightforward. Our team can talk you through warranty terms before you buy if you have specific questions.
Yes, the air pressure is fully adjustable, so you can run it soft for an unladen daily commute and firm it up when you're loaded or towing. Many Triton owners run low pressure day-to-day and only add air before a loaded trip. This flexibility is one of the main advantages over a fixed-rate leaf spring upgrade.
