The Airbag Man Air Suspension Helper Kit suits Toyota LandCruiser 75, 76, 78 and 79 Series utes, troop carriers and wagons running factory leaf springs. Two triple-convoluted air springs mount alongside your existing leaf springs, with air pressure adjustable to suit an empty tray or a fully loaded camper, canopy or caravan. This restores rear ride height under load and cuts sag-related body roll without changing your unladen ride. Check your exact model in our parts finder for the LandCruiser range — the kit is in stock in Australia, backed by manufacturer warranty and our fitment support team.
Airbag Man helper kits use heavy-duty rubber bellows that mount between the chassis and the leaf pack – add air when the load goes on to bring the vehicle back level, then let it out and the standard springs carry on exactly as before. Because each side inflates independently, you can also correct for an off-centre load like a slide-on or water tank.
They shine when the load keeps changing – a van on the towball some weekends, a loaded tray on others. Worth being clear about what they don't do: helper airbags don't increase your GVM or payload; they manage ride height and stability within the vehicle's existing ratings. If the vehicle is always loaded, upgraded springs (with airbags for the variation on top) is the better setup.

This is an air-adjustable helper kit rather than a fixed-rate spring, so you select your support level by air pressure rather than by ordering a different spring rate. Higher pressure is used when carrying constant heavy accessories, and pressure can be dropped right off when the vehicle is empty. Common accessories that increase rear load include steel canopies, slide-on campers, dual batteries, water tanks, bullbars and caravan tow ball weight — factor these in when deciding how much air pressure you'll typically run.
Fitment is straightforward for an experienced DIY installer with basic hand tools, or your usual suspension workshop, using the factory leaf spring perch mounting points. Because ride height is unchanged when the air springs are deflated, wheel alignment is not mandatory after fitting, though it's worth checking alignment if you run higher constant pressure for towing. Allow a short bed-in period after fitting and re-check air line fittings and valve connections for leaks after the first loaded trip. These vehicles all run solid axles, so there are no IFS control arms to upgrade; geometry correction at lift height uses caster wedges on leaf-sprung models or caster bushes and an adjustable panhard rod on coil-sprung models.
Airbag Man has built air suspension helper kits for Australian 4WDs and utes for over 25 years, with kits designed around local towing and touring loads rather than generic imports. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supplied with the mounting hardware needed for a factory-style fit. You can view the full Airbag Man range we stock for other LandCruiser and 4WD applications.
This kit suits tradespeople running a constant tray or canopy load, and tourers or caravan owners who need to level the rear when the ball weight goes on. It's a lower-cost entry into airbag suspension for anyone who wants adjustable load support without replacing their factory leaf springs.
This Airbag Man helper kit is in stock in Australia for fast dispatch, and our team can confirm fitment against your build before you order. Browse our full suspension range if you're also looking at shocks or leaf springs to go with it.

This Airbag Man helper kit is designed for the 75, 76, 78 and 79 Series LandCruiser range running factory leaf springs, covering utes, troop carriers and wagons from 1984 through to current 79 Series production. Because the 75/76/78/79 range spans different rear axle and spring setups over the years, it's worth confirming your exact build with us before ordering. Our team can check your rego plate or build details against the mounting bracket kit to confirm a factory-style fit. Contact us or use our parts finder to double-check compatibility for your specific model.
This is not a fixed-height lift kit — it's an adjustable air spring helper that works alongside your existing leaf springs. With no air pressure in the bags, ride height stays at factory unladen height. As you add air pressure to suit a loaded tray, canopy or caravan tow, the air springs progressively restore ride height and reduce rear sag, rather than adding a permanent lift.
The kit includes two Airbag Man triple convoluted air springs, top and bottom mounting brackets, a braided air line kit, a single chassis-mounted inflation valve, and the U-bolts and hardware needed to fit at the leaf spring perch. Full fitting instructions are supplied. An onboard compressor and dual-path air management system are not included in this helper kit and are available separately if you want push-button convenience.
Yes, this is one of the main reasons customers fit it. Increasing air pressure when hooked up to a caravan or trailer helps level the rear of the LandCruiser, counteracting ball weight sag on the factory leaf springs. This improves rear stability and helps keep the vehicle sitting closer to its designed ride height while towing.
This vehicle runs solid axles on leaf springs, so there are no upper or lower control arms or struts like an IFS vehicle. When lifting with taller leaf springs, caster change is corrected with caster wedges fitted between the front axle and the leaf packs, and longer shackles or extended brake lines may be needed depending on lift height. Our team can advise what your build needs.
Wheel alignment isn't mandatory for this kit specifically, since ride height is unchanged when the air springs are deflated. If you regularly run higher air pressure for constant heavy loads or towing, it's still worth having your alignment checked, as with any change to rear load carrying.
This kit works differently to a fixed-rate leaf or coil spring. Instead of ordering a different spring rate, you adjust air pressure in the springs to suit the load you're carrying, from empty right through to a heavily loaded canopy or camper. If you need a higher constant load rating on the leaf springs themselves, our team can also point you to heavier-rated leaf springs to run alongside this kit.
This kit doesn't raise unladen ride height, so it won't create extra clearance for larger tyres on its own. If you're planning to fit larger tyres, that's generally handled through a dedicated lift kit or raised leaf springs rather than this air spring helper kit.
This kit is covered by Airbag Man's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. If an issue comes up with the air springs, valve or fittings, our team can assist with the warranty process. Keep your proof of purchase from 4WD Suspension Australia for warranty claims.
Yes. With air pressure backed off, the LandCruiser rides on its factory leaf springs as normal, so daily unladen driving feels unchanged. You only need to add air pressure when you're carrying a heavier load, canopy or tow, then release it again for everyday driving.
Good Product
I’m really impressed with this Airbag kit. It has made a noticeable difference to the way my LandCruiser handles load, especially when towing or carrying extra weight in the tray.(5)
