The beauty of air suspension is infinite adjustability — you can fine-tune pressure to match your exact load. For unladen or light daily driving, run minimal pressure (5-10 PSI) to maintain factory ride quality and allow full suspension travel. When loading up for touring or towing, increase pressure progressively — typically 20-40 PSI for moderate loads (500-800kg) and up to maximum rated pressure for heavy towing or maximum payload. Always inflate evenly side-to-side and check pressures regularly, adjusting as your load changes throughout your trip.
This kit is designed for straightforward installation and can be fitted by experienced DIY enthusiasts with basic hand tools, or professionally installed in approximately 2 hours. The airbags mount between the chassis and rear axle using supplied brackets and hardware, with air lines routed to a convenient inflation point (typically near the rear bumper or inside the rear cargo area). No cutting or welding is required for standard fitment. While this is a helper system and doesn't affect wheel alignment like lift kits, we recommend a qualified mechanic perform or check the installation to ensure proper clearances and secure mounting. After installation, test inflate to ensure no leaks, then adjust pressure to suit your load.

This Airbag Man CR5004HP kit is specifically engineered for Toyota Land Cruiser Prado 90 Series and 95 Series models manufactured between 1996-2003, particularly NZ Import variants with coil spring rear suspension. It's essential to confirm your Prado has coil springs (not leaf springs) at the rear before ordering. If you're unsure about your vehicle's suspension configuration or need fitment confirmation, our team can help verify compatibility using your VIN or vehicle details. This kit will not fit Prado 120, 150 or other series without modification.
While airbags don't technically increase your vehicle's legal GVM rating, this high pressure system provides substantial load support to help your Prado carry its rated payload more effectively. The system can support several hundred kilograms of additional load assistance, preventing rear-end sag when towing caravans up to 2500kg or carrying heavy camping equipment, toolboxes and accessories. The exact support depends on inflation pressure — you can adjust from minimal support (unladen) to maximum rated pressure for heavy towing. This helps maintain factory ride height and stability under legal loads, but always stay within your vehicle's manufacturer-specified GVM and towing limits.
This is a comprehensive installation kit including 2 x high pressure airbags designed for coil spring applications, all necessary mounting brackets and hardware specific to the Prado 90/95 Series, nylon air line tubing for routing from the airbags to your inflation point, air line fittings and connectors, and an inflation valve with mounting hardware. You'll also receive detailed step-by-step fitting instructions accessible via QR code on the packaging. The only item not included is an air compressor for inflation — you can use a portable 12V compressor, service station air, or even a bicycle pump (though that's more work). Everything else you need for a complete installation is in the box.
Absolutely — this high pressure system is specifically designed for towing applications and is one of the most popular upgrades for Prado owners who tour with caravans or camper trailers. The airbags eliminate rear-end sag caused by towball weight, dramatically improving stability, reducing body roll and sway, and maintaining proper vehicle geometry for safer towing. You'll notice improved headlight aim, better steering response, and more confident handling on corrugated roads and in crosswinds. Many Prado owners report this is the single best towing upgrade they've made, especially when combined with quality shock absorbers. The adjustability means you can deflate for solo driving and reinflate when hitching up.
No, this airbag helper kit works perfectly with your factory suspension components including control arms, shock absorbers and coil springs. It's designed as a supplementary system that assists your existing springs rather than replacing them. However, if your Prado's shocks are worn or original, you may want to consider upgrading to heavy-duty shock absorbers at the same time for optimal performance — fresh shocks paired with airbags deliver exceptional ride quality and control under load. If you're planning other suspension modifications like a lift kit, consult with us about the ideal installation sequence. The airbag system doesn't alter suspension geometry, so control arm upgrades aren't required unless you're lifting the vehicle.
No, wheel alignment is not required after installing this airbag helper kit, as it doesn't alter your vehicle's suspension geometry or ride height (when at zero pressure, the airbags simply collapse and allow factory suspension operation). This is one of the advantages of helper airbags compared to lift kits or replacement springs which do require alignment. However, it's good practice to have your alignment checked if you haven't done so recently, especially if you're adding this as part of broader suspension maintenance. If you notice uneven tyre wear or the vehicle pulling to one side, that indicates an alignment issue unrelated to the airbag installation. The system installs between chassis and axle without affecting mounting points.
Yes, adjusting pressure is simple and can be done in minutes using any air source — portable 12V compressor, service station air, or even a manual pump. The kit includes an inflation valve (typically mounted near the rear bumper for easy access) where you connect your air line, inflate to desired pressure, then disconnect. Most Prado owners adjust pressure based on load: minimal pressure (5-10 PSI) for daily unloaded driving, moderate pressure (20-35 PSI) when loaded with camping gear, and higher pressure (up to maximum rated) when towing heavy caravans. You'll quickly learn the right pressure for different scenarios. Check and adjust whenever your load changes significantly, and inspect monthly for any pressure loss or leaks.
No, this airbag helper kit is not designed to provide suspension lift or increased tyre clearance. When inflated, the airbags restore factory ride height under load (preventing sag), but they don't raise the vehicle above standard height. If you want to fit larger tyres, you'll need a proper suspension lift kit with raised coil springs and extended shock absorbers. Airbag systems are purely for load support, leveling, and stability enhancement. However, they work brilliantly in combination with a lift kit if you're planning both modifications — the lift provides ground clearance for larger tyres and off-road use, while the airbags handle variable load support for towing and touring. Many serious tourers run both systems together for ultimate capability and adjustability.
Airbag Man stands behind their products with a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period varies by component (typically 12-24 months depending on application), and full warranty details are included with your kit documentation. Airbag Man has over 25 years of experience in the Australian market and their products are renowned for reliability and longevity when properly installed and maintained. To ensure your warranty remains valid, follow the installation instructions carefully, don't exceed maximum pressure ratings, and inspect the system regularly for damage or wear. For warranty claims or technical support, contact us and we'll facilitate the process with Airbag Man.
Yes, this kit is excellent for both daily driving and off-road touring, thanks to its adjustability. For daily driving without a load, simply deflate the airbags to minimal pressure (or completely) and your Prado rides exactly as factory intended with full suspension travel and comfort. When heading off-road with a loaded vehicle, you can inflate to support your gear weight, preventing bottoming out on harsh terrain while still allowing good articulation. The high pressure design means it's particularly capable under heavy loads on corrugated outback roads. Many Australian tourers run these systems across the Simpson Desert, Canning Stock Route, and Cape York with excellent results. Just remember to adjust pressure to suit terrain and load — that's the beauty of air suspension's infinite adjustability compared to fixed-rate springs.
