The Airbag Man Helper Kit fits inside the factory coil spring on a Jeep Wrangler JL (2018-ON), adding a progressive-rate air bag that you inflate via a Schrader-style valve to suit the load you're carrying. It suits standard, lowered and lifted JL suspension without changing your unladen ride height, and it works alongside your existing coil springs rather than replacing them. Two air bags, locating cups and inflation valves are included, backed by Airbag Man's lifetime warranty on the bags themselves. In stock now in Australia with fast dispatch and fitment support from our team.

Because this kit adds adjustable air support rather than replacing your coil spring, you set air pressure to suit the load rather than choosing a fixed spring rate. Run less pressure for unladen daily driving and increase it when carrying a constant accessory load such as a bull bar, winch, tray canopy, dual battery system, drawers, or a roof top tent. If you're regularly towing a caravan or box trailer with tow-ball download, higher air pressure helps keep the rear sitting level under that constant weight.
Fitting the air bags inside the factory coil spring is a straightforward job for an experienced DIY installer with basic hand tools, though we recommend professional fitment if you're not confident working around suspension components. Because the bags support load rather than change static ride height, a wheel alignment isn't automatically required — but if this kit is fitted alongside a lift kit or new coil springs, get the alignment checked as part of that install. Check air line fittings and valve caps for leaks after the first few loaded trips. If you're running a lifted JL, pair this kit with upgraded control arms to keep suspension geometry correct at ride height.
Airbag Man has been designing air suspension components in Australia for over 25 years, developing helper kits specifically for local vehicles and local towing and touring conditions. The air bags in this kit are covered by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, and the brand is used by tradespeople and tourers who need consistent load support without a harsh unladen ride. You can view the full Airbag Man range to see matching shocks and coil options for your JL.
This kit suits Wrangler JL owners who regularly carry a constant load — tradies with a canopy and tool storage, tourers running drawers, fridges and roof top tents, and anyone towing a camper or caravan off the tow ball. If you want load levelling without swapping your factory coil springs, this airbag suspension helper kit gives you adjustable support on demand.
This kit is in stock in Australia and dispatched fast from local stock, with our team on hand for fitment questions specific to your JL. Browse our full lift kit range if you're also planning a height change alongside your load support upgrade.

Yes, the Airbag Man Helper Kit (SKU AIR-CR5063-CR5100) is built specifically for the Jeep Wrangler JL from 2018-ON, covering the 3.6L Pentastar V6, 2.0L Turbo and 3.0L EcoDiesel V6 variants. It's designed to fit inside the factory coil spring, and also suits JLs running lowered or lifted coil spring setups. If you're unsure about your exact model year or trim, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This is a helper kit, not a lift kit, so it doesn't add a fixed lift height. The air bags sit inside your existing coil spring and provide adjustable air support to reduce sag under load, without raising your unladen ride height. If you want an actual lift height, pair this with our Airbag Man suspension range or a dedicated coil spring lift kit.
The kit includes two Airbag Man progressive-rate air bags sized for the JL coil spring, top and bottom locating cups, two Schrader-style inflation valves, and mounting hardware. Fitting instructions specific to the Wrangler JL are supplied as well. An air compressor and any in-cab control kit are sold separately.
Yes, that's one of its main jobs. By increasing air pressure in the bags you add support for the constant tow-ball download from a caravan or trailer, which helps keep the rear of the JL level and stable while towing. You reduce pressure again for unladen driving to keep the ride comfortable when you're not hooked up.
Not for this kit on its own, since it doesn't change ride height or suspension geometry. If you're running this alongside a lifted coil spring setup, upgraded control arms help correct caster and axle alignment at the increased height. Talk to our team about your specific combination if you're unsure.
Because this helper kit doesn't alter your JL's static ride height, an alignment isn't automatically required after installation. If you're fitting it as part of a broader suspension upgrade, such as new coil springs or a lift kit, get the alignment checked at the same time. Always inspect air line fittings for leaks after the first loaded trips.
This kit works with your existing coil spring rather than replacing it, so you adjust air pressure in the bags rather than choosing a spring rate. Run lower pressure for everyday unladen driving and higher pressure when carrying constant accessory loads like a canopy, drawers, or towing gear. If you need a genuinely stiffer factory-fit spring, browse our coil springs range separately.
Since this kit doesn't raise ride height, it won't create extra tyre clearance on its own. Tyre fitment depends on your existing wheel arch clearance and any separate lift kit fitted to your JL. If you're planning larger tyres, check clearance requirements with our team alongside any lift kit selection.
The Airbag Man air bags in this helper kit are covered by the manufacturer's lifetime warranty. This reflects Airbag Man's build quality after over 25 years of designing air suspension components for Australian conditions. Keep your proof of purchase and contact our team if you ever need to make a claim.
Yes, you can run low air pressure for a comfortable daily ride and increase pressure only when you're carrying extra load or towing. This on-demand adjustability is the main advantage over a fixed heavier-rate spring, which stays stiff even when unladen. Many JL owners use this setup as their everyday commuter that's also ready for weekend towing or touring.
