The Airbag Man Full Air Suspension Kit replaces the factory coil springs on Nissan Patrol GQ (Y60) and GU (Y61) wagons with a fully adjustable air spring system, delivering up to 2" of on-demand ride height adjustment. Manual inflation valves let you match air pressure to load — unladen touring comfort one day, full GVM towing stability the next — without swapping fixed-rate springs. Backed by Airbag Man's manufacturer warranty and dispatched from Australian stock, this kit is supported by our airbag suspension specialists for fitment questions. Everything needed for installation is included, with step-by-step instructions supplied.

Because this kit uses adjustable air springs instead of a fixed-rate coil, you don't need to pick a spring rate up front — air pressure is tuned after fitment to match your constant accessory load. Common front-end additions that affect pressure settings include steel bullbars, winches and dual batteries, while rear-end additions include canopies, drawer systems, water tanks, caravan tow ball weight and camper trailer loads. Set the pressure for your typical loaded weight, then adjust up or down for specific trips.
This kit is best fitted by a professional installer or an experienced DIY mechanic comfortable with removing factory coil springs and running air lines to the cabin or chassis-mounted valves. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting to correct camber, caster and toe at the new ride height. Allow a 500km settling period before fine-tuning air pressure for your typical load. These vehicles use a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod rather than IFS control arms, so geometry correction at lift height comes from caster-correction radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms plus an adjustable panhard rod.
Airbag Man has been designing air spring suspension for Australian 4WDs and wagons for over two decades, with kits developed for local towing and touring conditions rather than adapted from overseas fitments. This kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supplied with full fitting instructions and Australian-based technical support. You can view the full Airbag Man range to compare load-carrying options for other 4WD platforms.
This kit suits Patrol GQ and GU wagon owners who regularly carry or tow variable loads — tradies running a canopy and gear, tourers with roof-top tents and long-range fuel, and caravan or camper trailer owners who need to correct rear sag on tow day. If your load varies from empty to near-GVM week to week, airbag suspension gives you a way to match spring rate to load without changing hardware each trip.
This kit is in stock in Australia and ships fast with fitment support from our team — browse our full lift kit range or get in touch if you need help matching it to your Patrol's setup.

Yes, this Airbag Man kit is built specifically for coil-sprung Patrol wagons — the GQ/Y60 (1988–1997) and GU/Y61 (1997–2016). It replaces the factory front and rear coil springs with adjustable air springs designed around the Y60/Y61 chassis mounting points. If you're unsure which series your Patrol is, our team can confirm fitment before you order using your build plate or rego details.
This kit provides up to 2" of adjustable ride height, controlled by air pressure rather than a fixed spring rate. You can run it closer to factory height when unladen and increase pressure for extra height and support when carrying a load or towing. This is different to a fixed raised coil spring, which only ever sits at one set lift height.
The kit includes front and rear Airbag Man air spring units, an air line kit, manual inflation valves with dust caps, mounting brackets and spring seat adaptors, and fitting hardware. Detailed step-by-step instructions are supplied for installation. A compressor and pressure gauge kit are available separately and are not bundled in this listing.
Yes, load leveling under tow is one of the main reasons Patrol owners fit this kit. As tow ball weight or trailer load increases, you increase air pressure to bring the rear back to level and maintain consistent headlight aim and handling. This keeps the vehicle sitting evenly rather than sagging under a loaded caravan or camper trailer.
This vehicle runs a solid front axle on coil springs, located by radius arms and a panhard rod, so there are no upper or lower control arms to upgrade like an IFS vehicle. At around 2" of lift most vehicles run the kit as supplied; taller lifts benefit from caster correction (offset radius arm bushes or adjustable radius arms) to restore steering self-centring, plus an adjustable panhard rod to re-centre the axle. Our team can advise what your lift height and build need.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this kit. Changing ride height alters camber, caster and toe, so an alignment should be booked in straight after fitment and again after your 500km settling period once you've set your normal running pressure.
You don't need to select a fixed spring rate with this kit, because air pressure does that job for you. Lower pressure gives a softer, factory-like unladen ride, while higher pressure firms up the spring rate to suit a loaded canopy, camper trailer or caravan. This flexibility is the main advantage over a fixed-rate raised coil spring.
The extra height from this kit can improve clearance for a modest tyre size increase, but actual clearance depends on your wheel offset, tyre width and whether you're running the kit at maximum air pressure. We recommend checking your specific tyre size with our team before ordering to confirm rubbing won't occur at full lock or full articulation.
This kit is covered by Airbag Man's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Our team can confirm the exact warranty period and process for your Patrol at the time of purchase, and we handle warranty support locally in Australia rather than requiring you to deal with an overseas supplier.
Yes, many Patrol owners run this kit as a daily driver because air pressure can be dropped to closely match the factory unladen ride quality. It's only when you add load — a canopy, tools, a caravan — that you increase pressure to level the vehicle and firm up the spring rate, then drop it back down for unladen commuting.
