The Airbag Man Full Air Suspension Kit transforms your Jeep Gladiator JT with infinitely adjustable ride height from 0-50mm raised — replacing factory coil springs with commercial-grade Firestone air springs for superior load control, levelling, and off-road clearance. Engineered specifically for the Gladiator JT platform (2018-On), this complete airbag suspension system delivers unmatched versatility for towing, touring, and daily driving across Australian conditions. Backed by Firestone's lifetime manufacturer warranty, Australian stock, and expert technical support — this is the ultimate upgrade for Gladiator owners demanding maximum flexibility and performance.
Unlike coil helper kits that offer limited support, the Airbag Man Full Air Suspension Kit completely replaces your Gladiator's rear coil springs with heavy-duty air springs — the same technology trusted in commercial trucks and buses. This provides infinitely adjustable ride height from completely lowered to 50mm raised, allowing you to drop the vehicle for easier loading, sports car handling, and urban driving, then raise it for maximum ground clearance on corrugated tracks, beach driving, or when carrying heavy camper setups and towing trailers.
The system eliminates spring sag entirely by maintaining consistent air pressure regardless of load, keeping your Gladiator level whether empty or fully loaded with camping gear, tools, or towing a caravan. This adjustability also improves departure angles on steep inclines, prevents tail dragging over speed bumps, and reduces wear on suspension components and tyres by maintaining optimal geometry under all conditions.
For Gladiator owners running modified suspensions, this kit suits factory standard height, lowered, and raised configurations up to 50mm. Whether you've installed premium lift kits or kept your JT stock, the Airbag Man system integrates seamlessly to provide the load support and adjustability your vehicle needs.
Airbag Man kits are designed for straightforward installation with all components, hardware, and detailed instructions included. This metric tubing variant features industry-standard fittings for easy integration with aftermarket air systems and compressors. The kit includes heavy-duty Firestone air springs, all mounting hardware, metric nylon air lines, quality fittings, and comprehensive step-by-step fitting instructions accessible via QR code or the Airbag Man website.
Installation typically takes around 180 minutes for experienced DIY mechanics with basic tools, though professional fitting is recommended for optimal results. The system requires on-board air controls (sold separately) for in-cab adjustment — allowing you to fine-tune ride height and pressure on the fly without leaving the driver's seat. This makes it ideal for rapidly changing conditions on tour or adjusting for varying loads throughout your workday.
The Airbag Man system delivers measurable improvements across every driving scenario. On-road, it maintains level ride height under load, improving steering response, braking efficiency, and headlight aim — preventing the dangerous nose-up stance that occurs when towing or carrying heavy rear loads. Off-road, the ability to increase ground clearance on demand protects your Gladiator's undercarriage, improves approach and departure angles, and provides confidence over ruts, rocks, and obstacles.
For towing, the system is transformational. By maintaining factory ride height and preventing squat, it keeps your trailer coupling at the correct angle, reducing sway and improving stability at highway speeds. Weight distribution remains optimal across all four tyres, extending tyre life and improving fuel economy compared to sagging factory springs. The air suspension also absorbs road shock more effectively than steel springs, reducing fatigue on long-distance towing runs and protecting fragile cargo.
Gladiator owners who carry constant heavy loads — roof racks, bull bars, rear bars, canopies, drawer systems, water tanks, and rooftop tents — will find the air suspension prevents progressive spring fatigue and maintains factory geometry. This is particularly important for vehicles with upgraded suspension components where maintaining correct castor and pinion angles under load is critical for drivetrain longevity.
Airbag Man has been engineering air suspension solutions for Australian conditions for over 25 years, with systems proven on everything from trade utes to expedition tourers crossing the Simpson Desert. Every kit is designed and tested for Australian vehicles, roads, and loads — not generic imports.

The Airbag Man system allows you to adjust air pressure based on your current load, typically ranging from 5 PSI (empty) to 100 PSI (maximum load). For optimal performance and ride comfort, adjust pressure to maintain factory ride height under your specific load conditions. Common rear loads that affect pressure requirements include: canopies, ute trays, drawer systems, dual battery setups, long-range fuel tanks, roof racks, rooftop tents, awnings, rear bars, spare wheel carriers, fridges, water tanks, tool boxes, and towing accessories. For constant heavy accessory loads, start at 30-40 PSI and adjust incrementally until level ride height is achieved.
Installation typically takes around 180 minutes and is suitable for experienced DIY mechanics with basic hand tools, though professional fitting is recommended for optimal results and warranty compliance. The system replaces your Gladiator's rear coil springs, requiring the vehicle to be safely raised and supported while the existing springs are removed and air springs installed using the supplied brackets and hardware. On-board air controls (compressor and inflation system) must be installed separately to enable in-cab adjustment — we recommend pairing this kit with quality wireless controllers for maximum convenience. While not mandatory for this rear-only air suspension kit, owners with lifted Gladiators may benefit from pairing with upgraded control arms to maintain optimal front-end geometry and maximize the benefits of adjustable rear height.

Yes, this Airbag Man Full Air Suspension Kit is specifically engineered for all Jeep Gladiator JT models from 2018 onwards (including 2020-2024 variants). The kit suits factory standard suspensions as well as lowered or raised configurations up to 50mm. It replaces the rear coil springs entirely and is compatible with all Gladiator trim levels including Sport, Overland, and Rubicon. If you've modified your Gladiator with aftermarket lift kits or accessories, please contact our team to confirm compatibility with your specific setup.
This is a full air suspension system offering 0-50mm of infinitely adjustable ride height — not a fixed lift kit. You can lower the vehicle completely for easier loading and urban driving, raise it to factory height under load, or increase ground clearance up to 50mm for off-road clearance and improved departure angles. The adjustability is the key advantage: you control the exact ride height based on your current load and driving conditions by simply adjusting air pressure. This makes it far more versatile than traditional fixed-height lift kits or helper springs.
The complete kit includes 2 x Firestone heavy-duty air springs (which replace your rear coil springs), all mounting brackets and hardware, metric nylon air line tubing, metric fittings and connectors, air valve mounting hardware, and detailed step-by-step fitting instructions accessible via QR code. Everything needed to install the air springs themselves is included. However, you will need to purchase on-board air controls separately (compressor and inflation system with in-cab controls) to adjust the air pressure — these are available separately and we can recommend compatible systems for your needs.
Absolutely — this is one of the most popular upgrades for Gladiator owners who tow regularly. The air suspension eliminates rear squat and maintains level ride height when towing, which keeps your trailer coupling at the correct angle and significantly reduces sway. This improves stability, braking efficiency, steering response, and overall safety at highway speeds. The system also maintains optimal weight distribution across all four tyres, extending tyre life and improving fuel economy. Many caravan towers consider air suspension essential for safe, comfortable long-distance towing across Australian highways.
No, control arm upgrades are not mandatory with this rear air suspension kit, as it replaces the rear coil springs only and doesn't affect front-end geometry. However, if you've installed or plan to install a significant front lift, upgrading to heavy-duty or adjustable control arms can help maintain optimal castor angles and improve steering geometry. For Gladiators used primarily for towing and touring at near-stock height, the factory control arms will work perfectly with this air suspension system. If you're running larger tyres or aggressive lifts, contact our team to discuss whether control arm upgrades would benefit your specific setup.
While a full four-wheel alignment isn't always mandatory for a rear-only air suspension installation, it's highly recommended as best practice — especially if you're adjusting ride height significantly or carrying constant heavy loads. Proper alignment ensures even tyre wear, optimal handling, and prevents premature component wear. If you're installing this kit alongside front suspension modifications or lift components, wheel alignment becomes essential. Most professional installers will include alignment in their service, and it's a small investment that protects your tyres and suspension components long-term.
Yes, you can easily adjust air pressure yourself — that's the entire point of the system! However, you'll need to install on-board air controls (sold separately) which typically include an air compressor, inflation lines, and either manual valves or in-cab electronic controls. Once installed, adjusting pressure is as simple as pressing a button or turning a valve. Many Gladiator owners install wireless smartphone-controlled systems for ultimate convenience. You can also use portable air compressors or service station air to adjust pressure via the external air valves included in the kit, though this requires getting out of the vehicle.
The Firestone airbags included in this kit are backed by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, which covers defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle. This industry-leading warranty reflects the commercial-grade quality and proven reliability of Firestone air springs, which are used in trucks, buses, and motorhomes worldwide. The other components (brackets, fittings, hardware) carry standard manufacturer warranties. Airbag Man has been supporting Australian customers for over 25 years with comprehensive technical support and warranty service through their national dealer network.
This air suspension kit provides up to 50mm of adjustable rear lift, which can accommodate slightly larger tyres — however, it's a rear-only system, so your total lift and tyre clearance will still be limited by your front suspension setup. For Gladiators at stock height, you can typically run up to 33" tyres with minor trimming. If you want to run 35" tyres or larger, you'll need a complete front and rear lift kit in addition to this air suspension system. The beauty of air suspension is that you can raise the rear to match your front lift height and maintain level stance regardless of load. Contact us to discuss your specific tyre size goals and we'll recommend the complete suspension package you need.
Yes, absolutely — in fact, many owners find that air suspension improves daily driving comfort compared to factory coil springs, especially when carrying varying loads. When running empty or lightly loaded, you can reduce air pressure for a softer, more compliant ride that absorbs bumps and road imperfections beautifully. When loaded or towing, you increase pressure to maintain factory ride height and optimal handling. This adjustability means you get the best of both worlds: comfortable daily driving and serious load-carrying capability when needed. The system is completely reliable for daily use and requires no special maintenance beyond occasional pressure checks.
Best upgrade I've done to the Gladiator
Been running this air suspension kit on my JT for about 6 months now and it's been absolutely brilliant. Load it up with tools and materials during the week, then head out to the high country on weekends - the adjustability makes such a difference. The metric tubing setup was straightforward to fit and hasn't given me any dramas yet. Well worth the investment if you're actually using your ute properly.(5)
Perfect Solution for Our Loaded Camping Trips
Fitted this air suspension kit to our Gladiator before our Easter trip down the coast and what a difference it made. With the camper trailer, kids' bikes, and all the camping gear loaded up, the rear used to sag terribly but now it sits level and handles beautifully. The ride quality has improved dramatically, especially on corrugated tracks, and the family actually commented on how much smoother everything feels. Well worth the investment for anyone who regularly loads up their rig for family adventures.(5)
Best Upgrade for the Work Gladiator
Had this air suspension kit fitted to my JT about three months back and it's completely transformed how she handles with a loaded tray. Been running tools and materials daily plus the odd weekend beach trip, and the adjustability means I can level her out perfectly whether I'm empty or carrying a tonne. Installation was pretty straightforward for anyone handy with spanners, and the ride quality is noticeably smoother even on rubbish gravel roads.(5)
Perfect Solution for Our Loaded Gladiator
Been running this air suspension kit on our JT for about six months now and it's completely transformed how the Gladiator handles when we're loaded up for our monthly camping trips down the coast. The metric tubing setup was straightforward to install and the ride quality improvement is really noticeable, especially when towing the camper trailer. Kids reckon the long drives are way more comfortable now and the missus is happy she's not getting bounced around anymore.(5)
