The Airbag Man Full Air Suspension Kit (Metric Tubing) suits the Nissan Patrol GQ/Y60 Wagon (1987-1997) and replaces both front and rear coil springs with adjustable air springs. Air pressure control lets you dial in ride height and load support for touring gear, camper trailers or caravans, giving up to a 2" lift when aired up. The kit uses 6mm metric air line and push-lock fittings, and pairs well with quality shock absorbers for matched damping. In stock in Australia with manufacturer warranty and fitment support from our suspension team.

Unlike a fixed-rate coil spring, this airbag kit lets you set the effective spring rate on the fly by adjusting air pressure to suit what's fitted to your Patrol. Front-end accessories such as a steel bullbar, winch and driving lights add constant weight you can compensate for by increasing front air pressure. At the rear, a canopy, dual battery setup, water tanks, drawers or a caravan tow ball load are the main factors — air the rear bags up before hitching and back off again once you unload.
Fitting this kit means removing the factory coil springs and running new air line to a valve location, so it suits an experienced DIY installer with air-line fitting experience, or a workshop familiar with air suspension. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitment, particularly if ride height changes from the factory setting. Allow a short settling period and recheck all fittings and air line connections for leaks over the first few hundred kilometres. 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 suspension for Australian 4WDs for more than 25 years, with kits developed for local roads, tow setups and load types. Each kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our team's fitment knowledge for GQ/Y60 Patrol owners. Tradespeople hauling gear and tourers towing caravans both rely on Airbag Man kits to keep ride height consistent under load — view the full Airbag Man range for other Patrol-compatible options.
This kit suits GQ/Y60 Patrol wagon owners who regularly tow a caravan or camper trailer and need to control rear sag without swapping spring rates for every trip. It also suits tradies and tourers carrying constant heavy gear — tool boxes, dual batteries, water and fuel — who want airbag suspension that adjusts to the load rather than a fixed-rate spring.
This Airbag Man Full Air Suspension Kit is in stock in Australia and ships from local stock with fast dispatch. Our team can confirm fitment for your specific GQ/Y60 Patrol wagon before you order — browse our full lift kit range or get in touch for tailored advice.

Yes, this Airbag Man Full Air Suspension Kit is built for the GQ/Y60 Patrol Wagon produced from 1987 to 1997, covering TB42 petrol, TD42 diesel and RD28 diesel variants. It replaces both front and rear factory coil springs with air springs. If you're on a cab chassis or ute version rather than the wagon, check with our team first, as spring mounts can differ. Use our parts finder for the Patrol or contact us to confirm before ordering.
This kit gives up to a 2" lift when the airbags are aired up to their higher working pressure. Because it's air suspension rather than a fixed coil, ride height is adjustable rather than a single fixed figure — you can run it closer to stock height unloaded and increase pressure for load or towing. This flexibility is the main difference from a standard raised-coil lift kit.
The kit includes 2 front and 2 rear Airbag Man air springs, mounting brackets top and bottom, metric 6mm air line tubing, push-lock fittings, 4 inflation valves and the hardware needed for installation. Shock absorbers and an air compressor are not included and are sold separately. Fitting instructions are supplied with the kit.
Yes, load levelling for towing is the core purpose of this kit. Increasing rear air pressure before hitching a caravan or camper counteracts sag and squat, keeping the Patrol's ride height and handling more consistent under tow ball load. Many GQ/Y60 owners fit this kit specifically to manage variable touring and towing loads that a fixed-rate coil spring can't adjust for.
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, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this air suspension kit. Any change in ride height affects camber, caster and toe settings, so an alignment check protects tyre wear and keeps the Patrol tracking straight. Book the alignment once you've settled on your usual aired-up or aired-down running height.
This is an air suspension kit rather than a fixed-rate coil, so there's no separate spring rate to select — you adjust support by changing air pressure via the supplied valves instead. This means one kit covers a range of loads, from an empty tourer through to a loaded caravan setup, without swapping springs. If you need a fixed-rate raised coil instead, browse our coil springs range.
The up to 2" lift from this kit can improve clearance for a slightly larger tyre on a GQ/Y60 Patrol, but actual fitment depends on your wheel offset, tyre width and any guard trimming already done. We recommend confirming your intended tyre size with our team before ordering so we can flag any clearance issues specific to your setup.
This kit is covered by Airbag Man's manufacturer warranty against defects in the air springs and hardware. Our team also provides fitment support before and after purchase, so you can check compatibility and installation questions directly with Australian-based specialists. Keep your proof of purchase for warranty claims.
Yes, once aired to a comfortable unladen pressure the kit gives a similar ride to the factory coil setup, making it fine for daily driving. The advantage is you can then increase pressure only when carrying touring gear or towing, rather than living with a stiffer ride all the time. Many GQ/Y60 owners run it this way — soft for the commute, firmer for the trip.
