These kits include separate airlines for each side, with valves for easy inflation and deflation.
This product gives leaf-sprung vehicles an air-adjustable rear suspension.
When carrying a load, the airbags help keep the vehicle level at the rear, helping to reduce sway and improve cornering in wet or dry conditions. Maintaining the vehicle's ride height can also assist with headlight angles and tyre wear.
The Airbag Kits simply bolt on and, when inflated under load, raise the rear of the vehicle to help bring it back to a level position.
Thor Air Suspension kits are Australian made and owned.
Using imported rubber bellows, the suspension kit is manufactured with local Australian materials and proudly built and assembled in Australia for Australian road conditions.
Thor Air Bellows are tested to ADR standards and rated to 2.2 tonnes, which is above manufacturers' and authorities' recommendations.
Important: Airbag suspension does not increase the vehicle's GVM.
Thor Air Bellows are a great option for people carrying varying loads or touring infrequently, as they provide adjustable load support without permanently changing the comfort of the vehicle.

Yes. Thor Airbag Suspension kits are designed to provide adjustable rear suspension support when towing or carrying additional loads. Correctly adjusted airbags can help bring a loaded vehicle back towards its normal ride height, reduce rear-end sag and improve stability and handling. The correct setup and pressure will depend on the vehicle, load and towing application.
No. Load-assist airbags do not automatically increase the manufacturer's GVM, GCM or towing capacity. They assist the existing suspension in managing load and maintaining ride height, but the vehicle must still remain within its applicable vehicle, axle and towing limits.
The correct pressure depends on the vehicle and the load being carried. Thor recommends starting around 30 psi and adjusting the pressure for ride comfort and vehicle levelling. Thor states a maximum pressure of 150 psi for its Load Assist airbags and recommends maintaining approximately 5 psi on rough roads to help prevent the bellows from bottoming out. Always follow the instructions supplied for the specific kit fitted to your vehicle.
The correct kit depends on your vehicle's make, model, year and suspension configuration, including whether it is standard height or has raised suspension. Thor offers airbag suspension solutions across many popular Australian 4WDs, utes and vans, so vehicle details should be confirmed before ordering.
Many Thor load-assist kits are designed as bolt-on installations and are supplied with installation guidance. Thor also provides installation information and video support. Installation requirements vary by vehicle, so the instructions for the specific kit should always be followed; professional installation is a sensible option where the customer isn't confident with suspension work.
It’s important to purchase the springs, shock absorbers or a complete kit that will actually improve your vehicle
