Start with 20-30 PSI when unladen and adjust upward based on your actual payload and towing requirements. For heavy touring setups with roof racks, bull bars, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, and rear storage drawers, increase to 50-70 PSI to restore factory ride height. When towing caravans over 2,500kg or carrying maximum payload in trays and canopies, inflate to 80-100 PSI for optimal load levelling and stability. Always measure your vehicle's stance and adjust pressure incrementally to achieve level ride height without over-inflation.
This kit requires drilling for mounting bracket installation and is best suited to experienced DIY installers or professional workshop fitment. Installation time is approximately 3 hours (180 minutes) for both sides, with basic hand tools and a drill required. The kit includes detailed digital instructions accessible via QR code, with step-by-step photos and diagrams to guide the installation process. After installation, test the system at varying pressures to familiarise yourself with handling characteristics and optimal pressure settings for your typical loads. While airbags work with factory shock absorbers, upgrading to heavy-duty shocks is recommended for maximum performance when regularly carrying heavy loads or towing.

This Airbag Man kit (CR5005) is specifically designed to fit Toyota Landcruiser 76 Series (1998-2024), 78 Series Troopy (1998-2024), and 79 Series Single and Dual Cab (1999-2024) models fitted with rear coil springs as part of the LC70 platform. The kit works with both factory standard suspension and aftermarket lift kits already installed. If you've modified your suspension or aren't sure about your exact model variant, contact our team to confirm fitment before ordering.
When fully inflated to maximum pressure (100 PSI), this air suspension helper kit can provide up to 1,000kg of additional load assistance to help level your Landcruiser and restore factory ride height. This doesn't increase your vehicle's legal GVM rating, but rather helps your existing springs carry heavy loads more effectively by reducing rear squat and maintaining proper suspension geometry. The adjustable nature means you can dial in exactly the support needed for your specific load, from light weekend camping gear to maximum towing and payload scenarios.
The complete kit includes 2 heavy-duty airbags, all mounting brackets and hardware, UV-resistant nylon air tubing, push-fit connectors, Schrader valve inflation points, and comprehensive digital installation instructions via QR code. Everything needed for installation is provided except basic hand tools and a drill for mounting bracket fitment. Note that an air compressor or inflation source is not included—you'll need a portable compressor, service station air, or onboard air system to adjust pressures as needed.
Yes, this kit is ideal for Landcruiser owners who regularly tow caravans, camper trailers, horse floats, or boat trailers. The adjustable air pressure allows you to compensate for heavy towball downloads (typically 250-350kg on larger caravans), eliminating rear squat and maintaining level vehicle attitude for safer towing. By restoring proper suspension geometry, the kit also improves headlight aim, reduces trailer sway, enhances braking performance, and maintains better steering control. Many Australian tourers rely on Airbag Man kits specifically for long-distance caravan towing across variable terrain.
No, this air suspension helper kit works with your factory control arms, shock absorbers, and other existing suspension components without requiring additional upgrades. The airbags install inside your existing coil springs and don't alter suspension geometry or articulation. However, if you're regularly carrying maximum loads or towing heavy weights, upgrading to heavy-duty shock absorbers will improve overall handling and ride quality. Similarly, if you're lifting your Landcruiser or have wear in your existing bushings, upgraded control arms can complement the airbag system for optimum performance.
Wheel alignment is not typically required after installing this air suspension helper kit, as the airbags work within your existing suspension geometry and don't alter control arm angles or camber settings when properly installed. However, it's always good practice to have your alignment checked if you notice uneven tyre wear or steering pull after any suspension work. If you're installing this kit alongside other suspension modifications like lift kits or new control arms, then a full wheel alignment is essential and should be performed after all components are fitted.
Yes, each airbag has its own independent inflation point with a Schrader valve, allowing you to adjust left and right air pressures separately. This is particularly useful when carrying uneven loads (such as tools and equipment on one side of a tray), compensating for cross-weight distribution, or levelling your vehicle side-to-side. Independent adjustment ensures your Landcruiser sits level regardless of how your payload is distributed, improving handling, tyre wear, and overall stability both on-road and off-road.
This airbag kit is a load-levelling helper system and does not provide suspension lift height for tyre clearance. It works by supporting your existing springs to prevent sag under load, maintaining factory ride height rather than increasing it. If you want to fit larger tyres on your Landcruiser 76/78/79 Series, you'll need a dedicated lift kit with raised springs and extended shock absorbers. The good news is that airbag helper kits are fully compatible with aftermarket lift kits, allowing you to combine increased ground clearance with adjustable load support for the ultimate touring setup.
Airbag Man products are backed by the manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. Specific warranty terms and duration are detailed in the product documentation included with your kit and available on the Airbag Man website. As an authorised Australian retailer, 4WD Suspension provides full warranty support and will assist with any claims or product issues. Warranty coverage requires proper installation according to the provided instructions and normal operating conditions—damage from overloading beyond vehicle GVM, improper installation, or off-road impact is not covered.
Absolutely—one of the key benefits of this airbag helper system is that you can deflate the airbags to very low pressure (5-10 PSI or even fully deflated) when driving unladen, allowing your factory coil springs to function normally with their original ride characteristics. This means comfortable daily driving, excellent off-road articulation, and no compromise in handling when you're not carrying loads. When you need to haul gear or tow a caravan, simply inflate the airbags to the required pressure and enjoy restored ride height and stability—then deflate again for everyday driving.
Perfect for our loaded up family trips
Got the Airbag Man helper kit fitted to our 79 Series before our last trip down to the Murray and what a difference it made. Previously we'd sag pretty badly with the camper trailer, kids' gear, and all the water we carry, but now the rear sits level and the ride is actually better than empty. Really impressed with how easy it was to adjust the pressure for different loads too.(5)
Best Upgrade for Our Touring Cruiser
Been travelling around this great country for three years now and the Airbag Man helper kit has completely transformed how our 79 handles with the van hitched up. No more sagging rear end when we're loaded up with water and supplies, and the ride quality on corrugations is noticeably better. Installation was straightforward enough and the adjustability means we can fine-tune it whether we're towing or just carrying the usual camping gear.(5)
Game changer for my Simpson Desert trips
Been running these airbag helpers on my 79 Series for six months now, including a rough trip through the French Line and across to Birdsville. The difference in handling with a loaded rear end is night and day - no more sagging with jerry cans, recovery gear and swags onboard. Installation was straightforward enough to do in the driveway, and the adjustability means I can dial it in perfectly whether I'm solo or fully loaded for a fortnight out bush.(5)
Perfect for Our Loaded Family Camping Trips
These Airbag Man helper kits have completely transformed how our 79 Series handles when we're loaded up with the camper trailer, kids' gear, and a week's worth of supplies. The difference in rear-end sag is night and day, and we're no longer bottoming out on corrugated tracks heading into our favourite spots. Installation was straightforward enough for a home job, and the ride quality stays comfortable even when we're running higher pressure for heavy loads.(5)
Best thing I've added to my 79
Chucked these airbag helpers on my 79 Series after constantly bottoming out with tools and materials in the tray. The difference is night and day - fully loaded now and she sits level, rides smooth on the highway and still handles the rough stuff on site without drama. Installation was pretty straightforward too, took me a Saturday morning in the shed.(5)
