This standard Airbag Man kit provides up to 180kg of rear suspension assistance, ideal for typical touring setups with rooftop tents, dual battery systems, fridges, and recovery gear. If you consistently carry heavier constant loads (180-280kg range), consider the HP (High Pressure) variant which offers increased load capacity. Common rear accessories affecting load include: long-range fuel tanks, heavy-duty rear bars with dual spare wheel carriers, slide-out drawer systems, water tanks, toolboxes, and towing ball weight from caravans or camper trailers. For loads exceeding 280kg or extreme payload requirements, uprated coil springs may be required in conjunction with airbag assistance.
This kit is designed for installation by experienced DIY enthusiasts or professional workshops, with an estimated fitting time of approximately 120 minutes using standard hand tools and a vehicle jack/hoist. The kit includes comprehensive step-by-step instructions with detailed diagrams, accessible via the Airbag Man website or by scanning the QR code on the packaging. No welding or permanent vehicle modifications are required, making this a fully reversible upgrade. While wheel alignment is not typically required for airbag helper spring installation (as ride height remains near factory when deflated), we recommend having your suspension geometry checked if combining this system with lift kits or other suspension modifications. Allow a brief break-in period to verify all fittings and connections are secure before long-distance touring.

Yes, this CR5119 kit is specifically engineered for Nissan Patrol Y62 models from April 2010 through 2024 equipped with independent rear suspension (IRS) and coil springs. It's compatible with both standard Y62 suspension and HBMC (Hydraulic Body Motion Control) suspension variants. The kit is designed as a direct bolt-on solution for the Y62 platform's unique IRS geometry. If you have a modified Patrol with aftermarket suspension components or aren't sure about your specific variant, contact our team to confirm fitment before ordering.
This standard Airbag Man kit provides up to 180kg of adjustable rear suspension assistance for independent rear suspension equipped Y62 Patrols. This capacity is ideal for typical touring setups including rooftop tents, camping equipment, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, and caravan towing ball weight. If your constant rear load exceeds 180kg (up to 280kg range), Airbag Man offers an HP (High Pressure) variant specifically designed for heavier applications. For extreme payload requirements beyond 280kg, you may need to combine airbags with uprated coil springs for optimal performance and safety.
This complete kit includes two airbags (air springs) designed for the Y62's independent rear suspension, all necessary mounting hardware and brackets, nylon air line tubing, air line fittings and connectors, and comprehensive installation instructions with diagrams accessible via QR code. Everything required to install the air suspension system on your Patrol is included in the box. Note that air inflation accessories such as in-cab compressors, manual inflation valves, and pressure gauges are sold separately as optional add-ons, allowing you to customize your inflation setup based on your preferences and budget.
Absolutely — this is one of the primary applications for this airbag helper kit. The adjustable air springs eliminate rear squat caused by caravan ball weight, maintaining level vehicle stance which improves headlight aim, steering response, and overall towing stability. By preventing excessive rear suspension compression, the airbags reduce sway and porpoising when towing on highways and corrugated roads. You can adjust air pressure to match your specific caravan's ball weight, and deflate when not towing to retain the Patrol's comfortable factory ride quality. Many Australian tourers consider airbag suspension essential equipment for safe long-distance caravan towing.
No, control arm upgrades are not required when installing this airbag helper kit, as it works with your existing factory suspension geometry and doesn't alter ride height significantly. The airbags function as load-assistance devices that support the factory coil springs rather than replacing them. However, if you're planning a comprehensive suspension upgrade that includes a lift kit or if your factory control arms show wear, this can be an opportune time to consider upgrades. Aftermarket control arms can improve wheel alignment adjustability and articulation, particularly beneficial for Patrols used in serious off-road touring conditions.
Wheel alignment is typically not required after installing airbag helper springs on a Nissan Patrol Y62, as the system doesn't permanently alter the vehicle's ride height or suspension geometry when set to normal (deflated) operating pressure. The airbags work within the factory suspension's designed travel range, supporting the existing coil springs rather than replacing them. However, if you notice any handling changes after installation or if you're combining this kit with other suspension modifications like lift kits, we recommend having your alignment checked. A professional wheel alignment ensures optimal tyre wear and handling performance for long-distance touring.
Yes, infinite adjustability is one of the key advantages of this Airbag Man system. You can adjust air pressure from as low as 5 PSI up to the maximum rated pressure depending on your current load requirements. For daily driving with minimal cargo, run lower pressure for comfortable ride quality; when towing a caravan or carrying heavy camping gear, increase pressure to level the vehicle and provide additional load support. This flexibility means you're not stuck with permanently stiff helper springs that compromise ride quality when unloaded. Optional in-cab inflation systems allow you to adjust pressure without leaving the driver's seat, perfect for varying terrain and load conditions during remote touring.
This airbag helper kit is designed for load support rather than lift height, so it doesn't significantly increase ground clearance or provide additional tyre clearance like a traditional lift kit would. The airbags work within your factory suspension's existing travel range, preventing squat rather than raising the vehicle. If your goal is to fit larger tyres on your Patrol Y62, you'll need a dedicated suspension lift kit that increases ride height and provides clearance in the wheel arches and guards. However, this airbag system works excellently in combination with lift kits to provide both increased height and improved load-carrying capability for heavily equipped touring Patrols.
Airbag Man products are backed by comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage, reflecting the brand's confidence in their Australian-engineered air suspension systems. The specific warranty terms cover manufacturing defects and material failures under normal operating conditions. Airbag Man has been manufacturing air suspension systems in Australia for over 25 years with an excellent reputation for product quality and customer support. For detailed warranty terms, duration, and conditions, refer to the documentation included with your kit or contact 4WD Suspension Australia directly. Proper installation following the provided instructions and regular maintenance inspections ensure your warranty remains valid and your system performs reliably for years of touring.
Yes, this is an ideal dual-purpose solution for Patrol Y62 owners who use their vehicle for both daily driving and loaded touring or towing. When unloaded for daily commuting, school runs, or weekend errands, simply deflate the airbags to low pressure (or completely deflate) to maintain the Patrol's factory ride comfort and handling characteristics. When preparing for a touring trip or towing your caravan, inflate the airbags to the appropriate pressure for your load. This adjustability means you don't have to compromise daily ride quality to gain load-carrying capability — you get the best of both worlds with a simple air pressure adjustment.

These Airbag Man helper springs have completely transformed how our Y62 handles when we're loaded up for weekend camping trips with the kids.
