The Airbag Man RR4737 Helper Kit adds adjustable air support to the rear leaf spring suspension on Next Gen Ford Ranger utes (T6, 2022-2024), correcting sag from towing and heavy loads without permanently altering unladen ride height. Two Firestone-manufactured air springs work alongside your factory leaf springs to add progressive support only when you need it, levelling the tray under a canopy, tools or a loaded caravan tow ball. Installation is a bolt-on job most workshops complete in under two hours, with brackets, tubing and inflation valves all supplied. Backed by Firestone's lifetime warranty on the air springs and dispatched from Australian stock.

Also fits the Volkswagen Amarok 2nd Generation (2022-on): it shares the Ranger T6 platform and rear leaf-spring setup, so Airbag Man specifies the same RR4737 kit for both vehicles.

This helper kit doesn't replace your leaf spring rate — it adds adjustable air support on top of it, so the right pressure setting depends on what you're carrying, not a spring rate choice. Rangers running a canopy, tool boxes, a bullbar, dual battery tray or towing a caravan will typically need more air pressure to level the rear than a tray-back running standard equipment. If your Ranger is close to GVM regularly, it's worth discussing your accessory load with our team before fitting so we can advise on the right pressure range for your setup.
The RR4737 is a bolt-on kit most experienced DIYers or workshops fit in under two hours using the supplied brackets and hardware, with no cutting or drilling on the standard leaf spring mount points. Because the kit doesn't change static ride height at rest, a wheel alignment isn't mandatory purely for fitting the airbags — but if you're also running a raised leaf spring or full lift kit, get the alignment checked as part of that job. After the first few loaded trips, check air line fittings and bracket bolts for tightness. For a fuller suspension upgrade, consider pairing this kit with control arm upgrades if you're also lifting the front end.
Airbag Man builds its helper kits around Firestone air springs, a manufacturer with a long track record supplying air suspension components for commercial and light truck use. Kits are set up specifically for popular Australian tow tugs and tourers like the Next Gen Ranger, rather than sold as a generic universal fit. Backed by a lifetime warranty on the air springs and supported by our team's fitment knowledge, it's a kit trusted by tradespeople and caravan/camper trailer tourers alike — view the full Airbag Man range.
This kit suits Next Gen Ranger owners who regularly tow a caravan, camper or box trailer and notice the rear end squatting under tow ball weight. It's equally useful for tradies running a canopy, service body or constant tool load who want to level the tray without a full spring change. If you're chasing broader airbag suspension options for heavier constant loads, our team can talk you through the range.

Yes, the RR4737 is built specifically for the Next Gen Ford Ranger (T6.2), covering 2022-2024 models. It suits both standard-height Rangers and those already running a raised rear leaf spring. If you're unsure about your exact build or engine variant, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This is a load-levelling helper kit, not a lift kit, so it doesn't raise your Ranger's unladen ride height. Instead, adjustable air pressure in the two Firestone air springs restores rear height and firms up the suspension once you're towing or carrying weight. If you want a permanent height increase, have a look at our leaf spring options instead.
The RR4737 kit includes two Firestone air springs, upper and lower mounting brackets, inflation valves, nylon air line tubing, push-lock fittings and a T-piece connector, plus all mounting hardware and instructions. An in-cab gauge or onboard compressor kit is available separately if you want easier pressure adjustment on the move. Everything needed for the base fitment is in the box.
Yes, this is one of the main reasons Ranger owners fit it. Increasing air pressure in the Firestone springs counteracts the sag caused by tow ball weight, keeping the rear of the Next Gen Ranger level and improving stability while towing a caravan or trailer. You can drop the pressure back down for unloaded driving.
No, control arm upgrades aren't required to fit this rear helper kit, since it works with your existing rear leaf springs and doesn't change front-end geometry. If you're also lifting the front of your Next Gen Ranger, upgraded control arms can help correct alignment angles at height, but that's a separate consideration to this kit.
A wheel alignment isn't mandatory purely for installing this helper kit, because it doesn't alter the vehicle's static ride height or front suspension geometry. If you're fitting it alongside a raised leaf spring or a front lift, get an alignment done as part of that broader job. Our team can advise based on your full suspension setup.
This kit doesn't include a leaf spring rate option — it adds adjustable air support on top of your existing factory or aftermarket leaf springs. The adjustability comes from air pressure rather than spring rate, so you increase or decrease pressure to match your current accessory or tow load. For a different leaf spring rate, check our leaf spring range.
Because this is a load-levelling helper kit rather than a lift kit, it doesn't change static ride height or wheel arch clearance when unladen. Tyre fitment for larger sizes should be assessed separately based on your Ranger's current suspension setup, not this kit. If you're planning bigger tyres, talk to our team about a suitable lift kit alongside this helper kit.
The Firestone air springs in the RR4737 kit are backed by Firestone's lifetime warranty, covering the core air spring components. This is one of the stronger warranty positions in the airbag helper category and reflects Firestone's position as the manufacturer of the air spring itself. Our team can talk you through the warranty terms before you buy.
Yes. Because pressure is adjustable, you can run the air springs soft for a more compliant unladen daily drive and firm them up only when towing or hauling a load. This flexibility is one of the main advantages of an air helper kit over a fixed heavy-duty leaf spring for Rangers that see mixed daily and towing use.
