Air pressure requirements vary based on your constant accessory load and intended use. Start with the manufacturer's recommended baseline pressure (typically 20-30 PSI unloaded), then adjust upward in 5 PSI increments as you add weight. Common rear-mounted accessories affecting air pressure include tray toolboxes, canopies, dual battery systems, long-range fuel tanks, rear bar and tyre carriers, drawer systems, water tanks, and camping equipment. For towing caravans or camper trailers, increase pressure to maintain level stance and optimal handling. Always check pressure when cold and adjust based on load for best performance and safety.
This kit is classified as an Easy Fit system with an estimated installation time of approximately 180 minutes for experienced DIY enthusiasts or professional workshops. The kit replaces factory rear coil springs with airbags and includes comprehensive step-by-step instructions accessible via QR code on the packaging. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitment, safety, and warranty compliance. A wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct steering geometry and prevent uneven tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for components to settle before final height and pressure adjustments. For optimal performance on lifted Gladiators, consider pairing this system with upgraded control arms to maintain proper suspension geometry and improve handling characteristics.

If you're running significant suspension modifications or have specific fitment concerns, contact our team to confirm compatibility with your exact setup.
This Airbag Man system delivers 0-50mm of infinitely adjustable lift height, allowing you to fine-tune your Gladiator's stance based on load and driving conditions. Unlike fixed-height lift kits, you can lower the vehicle to factory height (or below) when unloaded for better aerodynamics and access, then raise it up to 50mm when carrying heavy loads or tackling challenging off-road terrain. The adjustment is achieved by varying air pressure in the Firestone airbags, giving you complete control over ride height at any time. This flexibility makes it ideal for owners who need versatility between daily driving, towing, and off-road adventures.
This complete kit includes everything needed for installation: 2 x Firestone heavy-duty airbags (replacing rear coil springs), custom mounting brackets and all installation hardware, high-pressure nylon air line tubing, push-to-connect fittings, Schrader valve inflation points, and comprehensive step-by-step instructions with QR code access. The kit is designed as a complete bolt-in solution requiring no additional parts for basic functionality. However, for maximum convenience, an on-board air compressor system with in-cabin controls is available separately, allowing you to adjust air pressure from inside the vehicle rather than manually inflating at each airbag. All components are premium quality and backed by Firestone's lifetime warranty.
Absolutely — this kit excels in towing applications and is specifically designed to eliminate rear sag, improve stability, and enhance safety when towing caravans, camper trailers, or boat trailers. By adjusting air pressure to match your tow ball download, you maintain a level vehicle stance which improves steering response, reduces sway, optimises headlight aim, and ensures proper weight distribution for safer braking. Many Gladiator owners use this system to manage heavy tow ball loads that would otherwise cause significant rear squat and compromise handling. The ability to fine-tune pressure means you can dial in the perfect setup for your specific caravan or trailer weight, providing superior towing performance compared to fixed-rate coil or leaf spring helper kits.
For the 0-50mm lift range provided by this air suspension kit, upgraded control arms are not mandatory but are highly recommended for optimal suspension geometry and performance. Factory control arms will function adequately within this moderate lift range, but aftermarket heavy-duty control arms with adjustable geometry can significantly improve handling, reduce wear on bushings and ball joints, and correct castor and camber angles for better steering feel. If you're planning to run the maximum 50mm lift regularly or combine this kit with other suspension modifications, upgraded control arms become increasingly beneficial. Our suspension specialists can recommend compatible control arm options specific to your Gladiator setup and intended use.
Yes, a professional four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing this air suspension kit and should be performed once the vehicle is loaded to your typical operating weight. Replacing the rear coil springs with airbags alters the suspension geometry and ride height, which directly affects wheel alignment angles including toe, camber, and castor. Driving without proper alignment will result in accelerated and uneven tyre wear, reduced handling precision, and potential safety concerns. The alignment should be checked and adjusted with the airbags inflated to your regular driving pressure to ensure accurate geometry settings. Most reputable suspension workshops will include alignment as part of the installation service.
Unlike traditional coil or leaf spring systems with fixed spring rates, air suspension offers infinite adjustability through air pressure variation — this is one of its greatest advantages. You simply adjust the air pressure in the Firestone airbags to match your current load, ranging from approximately 5 PSI (minimum) when completely unloaded up to the maximum rated pressure (typically 80-100 PSI) when carrying heavy loads or towing. This means you don't need to choose spring rates at purchase — the same airbags adapt to light daily driving, moderate weekend camping loads, or maximum towing capacity. Start with the manufacturer's recommended baseline pressure and adjust in 5 PSI increments based on ride height and comfort, checking pressure when cold for accuracy.
The 0-50mm adjustable lift provided by this air suspension kit will improve clearance for moderately larger tyres compared to factory size, though the exact tyre size you can fit depends on multiple factors including wheel offset, tyre width, and whether you've made other modifications like trimming or fitting aftermarket flares. At maximum 50mm lift height, most Gladiator JT owners can comfortably fit tyres in the 33-35 inch range with appropriate wheel offset, though some minor trimming may be required for full articulation off-road. Remember that this kit only lifts the rear — if you want balanced front and rear lift for maximum tyre clearance, you'll need to pair it with a front lift solution. Contact us for specific tyre fitment advice based on your wheel and suspension setup.
This kit features Firestone airbags which are backed by an industry-leading lifetime manufacturer's warranty, providing exceptional long-term protection and peace of mind for your investment. The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for as long as you own the vehicle, subject to proper installation, maintenance, and use within rated specifications. Other kit components including mounting hardware, air lines, and fittings are covered by Airbag Man's comprehensive warranty terms. To maintain warranty coverage, the kit must be installed according to the provided instructions (professional installation recommended), and the airbags must be operated within their specified pressure and load ratings. Warranty claims are handled directly through Airbag Man's Australian support network.
Yes, this Airbag Man system is excellent for daily driving and actually provides superior on-road comfort compared to factory coil springs or traditional helper springs. Air suspension naturally absorbs bumps, road imperfections, and corrugations more effectively than steel springs, resulting in a noticeably smoother and more compliant ride for passengers. You can run lower air pressure when unloaded for a softer, more comfortable daily driving experience, then increase pressure when loading up or towing for added support without sacrificing ride quality. Many Gladiator owners report that air suspension transforms their truck's on-road manners, reducing harshness over rough surfaces while maintaining excellent body control. The system is also virtually silent in operation with no squeaks or rattles common with heavy-duty spring upgrades.
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 completely transformed how the ute handles with a loaded tray. Used to get serious sag with all my tools and materials on board, but now it sits level no matter what weight I'm carrying. The ride quality is noticeably better too, especially on corrugated tracks heading out to remote sites.(5)
Transformed Our Gladiator for Towing and Touring
Fitted this full air suspension kit before our last trip down to Wilson's Prom and the difference when towing our camper trailer is night and day. The kids actually stopped complaining about the rough ride, and being able to level the Jeep at camp makes setting up so much easier. Really impressed with how straightforward the installation was too – everything lined up perfectly with no dramas.(5)
