The Airbag Man Helper Kit suits LDV T60 utes built 2017-2024 and adds Firestone air springs to your factory leaf spring suspension to control rear sag under load. Air pressure is adjustable from empty to fully loaded, letting you dial in support for a loaded tray, canopy or caravan tow ball weight without swapping spring rates. Firestone airbags carry a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, and the kit ships from Australian stock with fitment support from our suspension team.
Airbag Man helper kits use heavy-duty rubber bellows that mount between the chassis and the leaf pack – add air when the load goes on to bring the vehicle back level, then let it out and the standard springs carry on exactly as before. Because each side inflates independently, you can also correct for an off-centre load like a slide-on or water tank.
They shine when the load keeps changing – a van on the towball some weekends, a loaded tray on others. Worth being clear about what they don't do: helper airbags don't increase your GVM or payload; they manage ride height and stability within the vehicle's existing ratings. If the vehicle is always loaded, upgraded springs (with airbags for the variation on top) is the better setup.

This helper kit doesn't change your leaf spring rate - it adds adjustable air support on top of the factory springs, so you inflate to suit whatever you're carrying that day. Think about your constant accessory load before ordering: a fitted canopy, dual battery tray, bullbar, drawer system or long-range fuel tank all add weight that sits on the rear springs permanently. If you're regularly towing a caravan or loaded box trailer as well as carrying trade gear, tell our team the combined figure so we can confirm this kit will give you the support range you need.
Fitting the brackets, air springs and air line kit is a bolt-on job best handled by an experienced installer or workshop familiar with air suspension, and it typically takes a few hours per axle. Wheel alignment isn't directly affected by this kit since it doesn't alter ride height at rest, but it's still worth checking alignment if you've recently fitted other suspension components. Run the airbags in gently over the first 500km and recheck fittings and air line connections for any settling. If you're also upgrading front-end geometry, pair this kit with control arm upgrades for a more complete setup.
Airbag Man is an Australian brand that fits Firestone air springs into kits designed and tested for local vehicles and local towing conditions. The lifetime warranty on the airbags themselves gives you a clear, checkable guarantee rather than a vague promise. Tradespeople and tourers across Australia use Airbag Man helper kits to manage sag on utes running canopies, toolboxes and camper trailers - view the full Airbag Man range to compare options for your T60.
This kit suits LDV T60 owners who regularly carry trade gear, tow a van or trailer, or fit heavier canopies and end up with a sagging rear end and vague steering. If your load varies from empty to fully loaded week to week, adjustable airbag suspension gives you a way to add support only when you need it. It's not aimed at buyers chasing a permanent ride height increase - for that, look at raised leaf springs instead.
In stock in Australia and ready for fast dispatch, with our suspension specialists on hand to confirm fitment before you buy. Browse our full lift kit range if you're also planning a height increase alongside load support.

Genuine Airbag Man suspension from an authorised Australian dealer.
Yes, this Airbag Man Helper Kit is built specifically for LDV T60 models from 2017 to 2024, including the T60 Max from 2021 onward. The brackets locate to the factory leaf spring mounting points on these chassis. If you're running aftermarket leaf springs or a different ride height already, contact our team to confirm the airbags will still clear correctly.
This is a load-support kit, not a lift kit, so it doesn't raise your T60's ride height when unladen. Instead, the airbags inflate to counteract sag once you load the tray, fit a canopy or hook up a trailer, effectively levelling the rear rather than lifting it permanently. If you want an actual height increase, pair this kit with raised leaf springs or ask us about our lift kit options.
The kit includes 2 x Firestone air springs, upper and lower mounting brackets, a stainless steel air line kit, twin chrome inflation valves, mounting hardware and detailed fitting instructions. An on-board compressor is not included but is available separately if you want to inflate the bags without a portable inflator. Everything needed to fit the airbags to the T60's leaf spring suspension is in the box.
Yes, that's the main reason most T60 owners fit this kit. Adjustable air pressure lets you add support to the rear leaf springs to counter tow ball weight and trailer load, which helps keep the vehicle level, improves braking balance and keeps steering feel consistent. Tell us your typical tow ball mass and any other constant accessory load so we can confirm this kit matches your needs.
Not for this kit specifically, since it works with your factory leaf springs and doesn't change front-end geometry. If you're also fitting a front lift or upgraded coil springs elsewhere on the vehicle, upgraded control arms can help correct suspension angles at that point. For a rear-only helper kit like this one, standard control arms are fine.
This kit doesn't change your T60's static ride height or suspension geometry, so a mandatory realignment isn't required purely for this installation. That said, it's good practice to have your alignment checked if it's been a while, or if you've fitted other suspension components at the same time. Our team can advise if your specific setup needs a check.
This kit doesn't replace your leaf springs or change their rate - it adds adjustable air support on top of the factory springs. If you need a firmer leaf spring for a heavy constant load, we stock upgraded leaf springs for the T60 that can be run alongside or instead of this helper kit. Talk to us about your load and we'll recommend the right combination.
Since this kit doesn't raise ride height at rest, it won't create the extra clearance you'd get from a genuine lift kit. Tyre clearance for larger tyres on the T60 depends on your current setup, so if you're planning bigger rubber, ask our team about combining this helper kit with a front lift kit or raised leaf springs for the clearance you need.
The Firestone air springs in this kit are covered by a lifetime manufacturer's warranty, a clear and checkable guarantee on the main wearing component. Mounting hardware and air line fittings are covered under standard supplier terms. Keep your proof of purchase and contact our team if you have any warranty questions after fitting.
Yes, plenty of T60 owners run this kit daily, deflating the airbags for a softer, more comfortable ride when unladen and adding pressure only when carrying a load or towing. Because it doesn't alter your factory ride height or spring rate, everyday handling and comfort stay close to standard when the bags aren't under load. It's designed to be adjusted as your load changes trip to trip.
