The high pressure design of this kit allows you to dial in the exact support level based on your specific load requirements. For light towing (small camper trailers, jet skis), start with 20-30 PSI and adjust as needed. Medium loads (family caravans 2000-2500kg, fully loaded cargo) typically require 40-60 PSI, while maximum loads (large caravans, heavy work equipment) may utilise the full pressure capacity. Always inflate gradually and check left-right balance, adjusting each airbag independently for level stance. Common accessories that affect required pressure include bull bars, long-range fuel tanks, roof racks with rooftop tents, rear drawer systems, water tanks, recovery equipment, and spare wheels.
This Airbag Man kit is designed as an "Easy Fit" system with an estimated installation time of approximately 120 minutes for experienced DIY mechanics with proper tools and workspace. Professional installation is recommended for those without mechanical experience or access to suitable lifting equipment. The airbags mount within the coil spring area using vehicle-specific brackets included in the kit, with air lines routed to convenient inflation points (typically near the rear bumper). No cutting or permanent modifications to the vehicle are required. After installation, pressure should be adjusted based on load and checked regularly. For Everest owners planning comprehensive suspension upgrades, consider pairing airbags with upgraded shock absorbers for optimised damping control under varying load conditions.
With over 25 years of Australian engineering excellence, Airbag Man has earned its reputation as one of Australia's most trusted air suspension brands among touring families, grey nomads, and professional tradespeople.

Yes, the Airbag Man CR5138HP is specifically engineered for Ford Everest UA models manufactured between July 2015 and 2022 with coil spring rear suspension. This kit fits all engine variants including 2.0L Bi-Turbo, 3.2L Duratorq, and 2.0L Single Turbo models. The vehicle-specific mounting brackets are designed to integrate seamlessly with your Everest's factory suspension components without modifications. If you have a different year or model Everest, please check our parts finder or contact us to confirm the correct kit for your vehicle.
The CR5138HP High Pressure kit can provide up to 500-800kg of additional load support depending on pressure settings and vehicle configuration, significantly enhancing your Everest's rear axle capacity. The high pressure design allows up to 10 PSI greater capacity than standard airbag systems, making it ideal for heavy caravans and fully loaded touring setups. Actual load capacity improvement varies based on your vehicle's existing suspension condition, GVM, and how you distribute weight. This kit is designed to restore level ride height under load rather than exceed manufacturer GVM ratings, so always stay within your vehicle's legal weight limits.
The CR5138HP kit includes everything needed for installation: two high-pressure airbags designed for coil spring applications, vehicle-specific mounting brackets and hardware, nylon air line tubing, fittings and connectors, manual inflation valves, and comprehensive installation instructions accessible via QR code. All bolts, washers, and fasteners required for fitment are included. The only item not included is an air compressor for inflation, which can be a simple portable unit or an onboard system if you prefer in-cab adjustment. The kit is designed to be complete and ready to install without sourcing additional components.
Absolutely — towing is one of the primary applications for this high pressure air suspension helper kit. The adjustable airbags eliminate rear-end sag caused by towball weight, maintaining proper suspension geometry and headlight aim for safer towing. By keeping your Everest level, the kit reduces porpoising, sway, and body roll when towing, significantly improving stability and control on highways and unsealed roads. The high pressure capacity makes this kit particularly well-suited for larger caravans in the 2000-3000kg range. Many Australian caravan owners consider airbags essential equipment for safe, controlled towing across our vast distances.
No, this airbag helper kit works with your existing factory suspension components including control arms, coil springs, and shock absorbers. The airbags provide supplementary load support rather than replacing existing components. However, if you're planning a comprehensive suspension upgrade or your Everest has high kilometres with worn components, this is an excellent opportunity to inspect and potentially upgrade worn parts. Many owners choose to install upgraded shock absorbers at the same time for improved damping control under varying loads. Control arm upgrades are typically only necessary if you're adding significant lift height, which isn't the case with this load-assist kit.
A wheel alignment is generally not required after installing this airbag helper kit, as the installation doesn't alter suspension geometry or steering angles significantly. The airbags mount within the existing coil spring area and work in conjunction with factory components. However, it's good practice to check your alignment if your Everest hasn't had one recently, especially if you're planning heavy towing or touring. If you notice uneven tyre wear or steering pull after installation, have the alignment checked. Any time you perform suspension work or notice handling changes, a professional alignment inspection is worthwhile for safety and tyre longevity.
The CR5138HP kit includes manual inflation valves that are easily accessible (typically mounted near the rear bumper), allowing you to adjust pressure yourself using any standard air compressor, service station air hose, or portable tyre inflator. Simply connect your air source to the valve, inflate to desired pressure using a gauge, and disconnect. Each side adjusts independently, allowing you to compensate for uneven loads. Many Everest owners keep a portable compressor onboard for adjusting tyre pressures off-road anyway, which works perfectly for airbag adjustment. For ultimate convenience, you can upgrade to an onboard compressor system with in-cab controls, but the manual system included in this kit works perfectly well for most users.
No — one of the key advantages of air suspension helpers is that you can deflate them when unloaded to restore factory ride quality. When you're not towing or carrying heavy loads, simply reduce airbag pressure to minimum (around 5-10 PSI to maintain bag shape) and your Everest will ride exactly as it did from the factory. This adjustability is what makes airbags superior to stiffer springs or constant-rate load-assist devices. You get the load support when you need it and comfortable daily-driving characteristics when you don't. This versatility makes the kit perfect for vehicles that serve dual purposes — family transport during the week and touring workhorse on weekends.
Airbag Man stands behind their products with comprehensive manufacturer warranty coverage, reflecting over 25 years of engineering confidence and quality control. Specific warranty terms vary by component, with airbags typically covered for manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty details are included in your kit documentation and require installation according to provided instructions and normal usage within vehicle specifications. The warranty covers Australian customers with support through our national distributor network. For specific warranty duration and terms, refer to the documentation included with your kit or contact us for detailed warranty information before purchase.
Yes, this kit is specifically designed for daily driving, highway touring, and everything in between — it's not just for off-road use. The ability to adjust pressure means you can optimise ride quality for any situation: firm for loaded highway cruising with a caravan, or soft for comfortable empty commuting. Thousands of Airbag Man systems are fitted to daily-driven vehicles across Australia, from city SUVs to rural work trucks. The high-quality construction ensures reliable performance over hundreds of thousands of kilometres. Unlike some suspension modifications that compromise comfort or safety, properly adjusted airbags actually improve your Everest's dynamics under load, making highway driving safer and more comfortable when towing or loaded.
