The Airbag Man Air Suspension Helper Kit for the Mitsubishi Triton MQ-MR (2015-on) adds adjustable air pressure inside each rear leaf spring, letting you dial up support when towing a caravan or hauling a loaded tray, then back off for the unladen drive home. The kit installs in around 2 hours and includes both airbags, mounting brackets, air lines and fittings — it works alongside your factory leaf springs rather than replacing them. It's a good match for a load-rated rear spring setup if you carry constant heavy accessories. Manufactured with over 25 years of Australian engineering behind it, in stock now with fitment support from our 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 airbag kit works alongside your Triton's rear leaf springs rather than replacing the spring rate, so the right setup depends on the constant accessory load you carry day to day. If you're running a permanent canopy, dual battery tray, long-range water tank or bullbar, talk to us about pairing this kit with a higher-rated rear leaf spring from our leaf spring range and using the airbags to handle variable towing loads on top. Common accessories that affect spring and airbag pressure choice include canopies, drawer systems, long-range fuel tanks, and caravans or camper trailers with higher ball weights.
This kit is a straightforward fit for anyone comfortable working with hand tools and typically takes around 2 hours using the factory spring mounting points. We recommend an experienced installer or workshop if you're not confident working underneath the vehicle. A wheel alignment isn't mandatory purely for fitting the airbags since they don't alter static ride height, but book one in if you're combining this kit with new leaf springs or other lift components. Consider pairing this kit with upgraded control arms if you're also lifting the front end.
Airbag Man has designed and manufactured air suspension products in Australia for over 25 years, with kits developed for local towing and touring conditions. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer's warranty and supported by our in-house fitment team, who can confirm compatibility with your specific Triton before you buy. Tradespeople and caravan owners across Australia use Airbag Man kits to keep their Triton sitting level under real-world loads — view the full Airbag Man range for other Triton-specific options.
This kit suits Triton MQ-MR owners who tow a caravan or trailer regularly, tradies running a loaded canopy or ute tray day to day, and tourers packing camping gear for remote trips. If you carry variable loads and want airbag suspension that adjusts on demand rather than a fixed heavy-duty spring, this is the more flexible option.
In stock in Australia and dispatched from local stock, this Airbag Man kit comes with fitment support from our team if you have questions about your Triton's setup. Browse our full lift kit range or get in touch to confirm compatibility before you order.

Genuine Airbag Man suspension from an authorised Australian dealer.
Yes, this Airbag Man kit (SKU RR4678) is designed specifically for the Triton MQ (2015-2018) and MR (2019-on) rear leaf spring suspension. It's built to bolt onto the factory spring mounting points on both series without cutting or drilling. If you're unsure which series you have, check your compliance plate or contact our team with your VIN and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
This is a load-levelling airbag kit, not a lift kit, so it doesn't raise your Triton's static ride height. Instead, it uses adjustable air pressure inside each airbag to correct rear sag caused by towing or a loaded tray, bringing your rear end back to its normal unladen height under load. If you want a permanent ride height increase, pair this kit with a raised leaf spring from our leaf spring range.
The kit includes 2 x Airbag Man air bags, upper and lower mounting brackets, an air line kit with push-fit fittings, twin inflation valves, mounting hardware and step-by-step fitting instructions. An air compressor and pressure gauge are sold separately, as most owners already run a portable inflator or on-board compressor for tyres.
Yes, this is exactly what the kit is designed for. It lets you inflate the airbags to counteract tow ball weight and caravan sag, keeping the Triton's rear end level and your headlights, brakes and geometry working as intended while towing. You simply deflate the airbags again once the trailer's unhooked.
No, control arm changes aren't needed for this rear leaf spring airbag kit since it doesn't alter front suspension geometry. If you're also fitting a front lift, check our upgraded control arms to correct front-end alignment angles at height.
A wheel alignment isn't mandatory for this kit alone, because the airbags don't change your Triton's static ride height or front-end geometry. If you're installing this alongside new leaf springs, a lift kit, or other suspension changes, book a wheel alignment as part of that broader job.
This airbag kit works with your existing leaf spring rate rather than replacing it, so if you carry a heavy constant load — a canopy, drawers, or a long-range tank — we'd recommend pairing it with a higher-rated rear leaf spring first. Talk to our team about matching a spring rate to your accessory load before adding the airbags for towing days.
Since this kit doesn't raise ride height, it won't create extra clearance for larger tyres on its own. If you're planning bigger rubber, look at our Airbag Man suspension range or leaf springs with a raised height option and speak with our team about tyre size compatibility for your MQ-MR.
This Airbag Man kit is covered by the manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Keep your proof of purchase and installation date, as our team can assist with any warranty claim and confirm the terms specific to this kit when you order.
Yes, the airbags can be run at a low pressure or fully deflated for unladen daily driving, so ride comfort isn't affected when you're not towing or loaded up. You simply add air pressure before a towing trip or heavy load, then release it again for the commute home.
