The short answer is yes. It important to ensure your frontal protection is both air bag approved and ADR compliant. Failure to do so may void an insurance claim, cause damage to the vehicle itself, or be potentially dangerous to pedestrians and other vehicles.

Coil series (red bags) are designed for pressures between 5 and 30 psi. As a general rule, whilst unloaded keep your bags at 5 psi. This helps them hold their place in the coils without interfering with your standard ride. When the vehicle is loaded, you can go up to 30 psi, but this will vary depending on the weight of your load. Have enough pressure in them to assist the spring to hold it at your unloaded height.

Bellows (leaf sprung vehicles) are a heavy duty spring assisting air bag system. These can be run between 10 and 100 psi. We suggest keeping 10 to 20 psi in them while not carrying a load, as the bellows air bags generally replace your bump stops. When carrying substantial load, these bags can accommodate a maximum pressure of 100 psi. Once again, vary this to your travelling conditions.

*Polyair airbags and bellows will not increase your GVM or towing capacity.
