Adjust air pressure based on your typical load requirements. Empty or light loads require 5-20 PSI for comfortable daily driving. Medium loads such as trade tools, camping gear, or light trailers perform best at 30-50 PSI. Heavy loads including full payload capacity, large caravans, or maximum towing require 60-100 PSI for optimal support and control. Common rear load additions that affect pressure selection include steel canopies, toolboxes, water tanks, dual battery systems, fridge slides, roof-top tents, and caravan tongue weight. Always inflate airbags before loading and adjust pressure to maintain level ride height.
This Airbag Man helper kit is designed for straightforward installation and can be fitted by experienced DIYers with basic tools in approximately 120 minutes, or professionally installed by mechanical workshops. The kit includes comprehensive step-by-step instructions with diagrams accessible via QR code on the packaging. No modifications to existing leaf spring suspension are required—airbags mount between the chassis rail and leaf spring pack using supplied brackets. After installation, adjust air pressure to achieve level ride height and test under various load conditions. For vehicles with lifted suspension, confirm adequate clearance between airbag and chassis during full compression.

Yes, this kit is specifically designed to fit all LDV T60 variants manufactured between 2017 and 2024, including the T60 Max, Pro, Luxe, and Trailrider models with the 2.8L turbo diesel engine. The kit is engineered to work with factory standard suspension as well as vehicles fitted with aftermarket lift kits. The universal mounting design accommodates the T60's leaf spring rear suspension configuration across all series. If you've made other suspension modifications or have a non-standard setup, contact our team to confirm compatibility before ordering.
This airbag helper kit doesn't increase your vehicle's rated GVM or payload capacity—those limits are set by the manufacturer for safety and legal reasons. Instead, it helps you safely utilise your existing payload capacity by preventing spring sag and maintaining correct suspension geometry when loaded to capacity. The airbags provide up to 1200kg of additional support force at maximum pressure, which eliminates rear-end squat and restores factory ride height when carrying heavy loads or towing. This improves handling, braking, and stability while operating within your T60's legal weight limits.
The complete kit includes two Firestone airbags with lifetime warranty, heavy-duty mounting brackets specifically designed for the LDV T60 leaf spring configuration, all necessary U-bolts and fasteners, nylon air line tubing, brass fittings, and in-line valve assembly for manual inflation. You'll also receive comprehensive installation instructions with QR code access to detailed online fitting guides and videos. The kit provides everything needed for a complete installation except for an optional onboard air compressor system, which can be added separately for convenient in-cab pressure adjustment. A standard tyre pump or service station air line can be used for manual inflation.
Absolutely—this is one of the primary applications for airbag helper kits on the LDV T60. The adjustable air pressure support is ideal for managing tongue weight from caravans and trailers, preventing rear-end sag that compromises steering and braking performance. Airbags maintain level ride height when towing, which keeps your headlights properly aimed, improves weight distribution across all axles, and reduces trailer sway. Many T60 owners towing caravans up to 3500kg rely on airbag helpers to restore factory handling characteristics and improve overall towing safety and confidence on long highway journeys.
The Airbag Man helper kit works effectively with your existing factory suspension components—no mandatory upgrades are required for installation or operation. However, if your T60's shocks are worn or you're experiencing poor ride quality, upgrading to heavy-duty shock absorbers at the same time will maximise the benefits of the airbag system. Worn shocks compromise the airbag's ability to control body movement and load distribution. If you've installed a lift kit or frequently carry near-maximum loads, consider inspecting bushings and mounting points to ensure they're in good condition to handle the improved load management the airbag system provides.
No, wheel alignment is not required after installing this airbag helper kit because it doesn't alter your vehicle's suspension geometry or mounting points. The airbags install between the existing leaf springs and chassis rail without changing ride height when deflated or modifying suspension geometry. Unlike lift kits that change suspension angles and require alignment correction, airbag helpers are supplementary load support devices. However, if your vehicle exhibits uneven tyre wear or pulls to one side, it's good practice to check alignment regardless—this ensures optimal handling and tyre life whether or not you install airbags.
Yes, adjustability is the key advantage of this airbag system. You can easily adjust air pressure using the included in-line valves mounted in an accessible location, typically near the rear bumper or inside the tray. Adjust pressure based on your current load—run 5-20 PSI for empty or light loads to maintain comfortable ride quality, increase to 30-50 PSI for medium loads like camping gear, and inflate to 60-100 PSI for heavy payloads or towing. The ability to fine-tune pressure means you always have optimal support and ride comfort regardless of load conditions, unlike fixed-rate springs that compromise either empty or loaded performance.
This airbag kit doesn't provide lift for fitting larger tyres—it's designed as a load support system that maintains your existing ride height under load rather than raising it. If you want to fit larger tyres on your LDV T60, you'll need a proper suspension lift kit that raises both front and rear suspension to create clearance in the wheel arches. However, airbags work perfectly alongside lift kits, and many T60 owners combine both upgrades for the best of both worlds—increased ground clearance for larger tyres plus adjustable load support for towing and hauling. The airbag system is compatible with lifted suspensions without modification.
This kit features Firestone airbags backed by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship—one of the most comprehensive warranties in the air suspension industry. This lifetime coverage demonstrates Firestone's confidence in their product durability and provides long-term peace of mind for your investment. The warranty covers the airbag bladders themselves against splitting, leaking, or failure under normal operating conditions. Mounting hardware, fittings, and air lines carry standard manufacturer warranty coverage. Warranty claims are processed through authorised dealers, and our team can assist with any warranty questions or requirements throughout the life of your airbag system.
Yes, this Airbag Man kit is excellent for daily driving and doesn't compromise ride comfort when properly adjusted for your load. When running empty or with light loads, simply reduce air pressure to 5-20 PSI for comfortable, compliant ride quality similar to factory suspension. The airbags don't create a harsh ride when deflated—they simply provide minimal support until you need it. Many tradespeople and commercial T60 operators use airbag systems daily, adjusting pressure to match their payload each morning. The system is equally suitable for urban commuting, highway touring, and everything in between, with the flexibility to adapt to changing load requirements throughout the week.
