Airbag Suspension for Holden Colorado: 2026 Buying Guide
Holden Colorado and LDV T60 utes carry weight differently to a family wagon, and airbag suspension for Holden Colorado owners needs to match the vehicle's leaf spring rear end, not a generic "fits most utes" kit. This guide covers what to check before buying, what Boss Air Suspension actually has confirmed for these two utes heading into 2026, and where you still need to ask before you order.
- Airbag suspension for Holden Colorado is confirmed through the Boss LA-13 kit — Buy for a stock-height RG Colorado at A$540.
- LDV T60 has no listed Boss Air Suspension kit yet — confirm fitment before ordering, don't assume it matches the Colorado.
- Pair any load assist kit with a Boss digital inflation controller for pressure changes between empty and loaded runs.
- Skip generic multi-fit airbag kits sold without a Colorado or T60 specific bracket — mismatched brackets load one side of the leaf spring unevenly.
Why this matters
A Holden Colorado or LDV T60 sitting low at the back under a canopy, tools or a loaded caravan hitch isn't just uncomfortable to drive. Sag changes your headlight angle, reduces steering feel and makes the vehicle harder to control in a crosswind while towing. Air suspension for these utes is designed to work with the existing leaf spring rear end, not replace it, and it won't change your Colorado's legal GVM or towing capacity.
Boss Air Suspension's full range of load assist kits covers hundreds of vehicle applications across 4WDs, utes, vans and motorhomes, with Holden Colorado covered through a specific bracket and airbag combination rather than a universal fit. That distinction matters more in 2026 than it used to, because more generic "suits most dual-cab utes" kits are turning up online without proper bracket engineering behind them.
Who this is for
This guide is written for Holden Colorado RG owners and LDV T60 owners who tow a caravan, box trailer or boat regularly, or who carry tradie gear, camping equipment or a canopy load most weeks. If your Colorado or T60 sits noticeably lower at the rear once loaded, or the back end feels loose and wallowy while towing, you're the buyer this content is aimed at.
What to look for in airbag suspension for Holden Colorado and LDV T60
Vehicle-specific bracket engineering
A leaf spring ute needs airbags and brackets built for that specific spring pack and chassis rail, not a bolt that's been drilled to fit "close enough". Boss Air Suspension's Holden Colorado application uses the LA-13 bracket and bag combination confirmed for RG-series Colorado and Great Wall Cannon utes, which is a very different mounting arrangement to a coil-sprung wagon.
Load capacity matched to your actual use
Work out whether you're mostly towing, mostly carrying tray weight, or both, before choosing an airbag kit. A kit sized for occasional caravan towing behaves differently under a constant tradie load, and getting this wrong means either too little support or a ride that's too firm when the vehicle is empty.
Ride height and lift compatibility
If your Colorado or T60 already has a suspension lift fitted, that changes which kit variant applies. Boss lists separate kit variants for standard height and lifted vehicles across its ute range, and fitting the wrong height variant can leave brackets under strain or airbags sitting at an awkward angle.
Adjustable air pressure for changing loads
A load assist kit should let you drop pressure when the tray is empty and add it back in when you're loaded or towing. This is where a digital inflation controller earns its keep, letting you adjust from the driver's seat instead of crawling under the vehicle with a hand pump.
Installation and bracket fitment
Bolt-on kits that use factory mounting points install in an afternoon with basic hand tools. Kits that need drilling, cutting or custom brackets take longer and carry more risk of getting the geometry wrong, which matters on a ute you rely on for work or towing every week.
Warranty and local support
Boss Air Suspension backs its load assist kits with a five-year warranty and Australian-based technical support, which matters if a bracket needs replacing or you need help confirming fitment two or three years after the original purchase.
Top picks for Holden Colorado and LDV T60 owners
The Colorado-specific pick: LA-13 Colorado/Cannon load assist kit This is the confirmed fitment for Holden Colorado RG and Great Wall Cannon applications, using two BOSS Extreme Series double bellow airbags with the brackets and hardware matched to that chassis. It's currently listed as a clearance item at A$540, still carrying the same warranty as the full-price kit. Buy if you're running a stock-height RG Colorado and want a confirmed fitment rather than a guess.
The pressure control pick: Boss Auto Pressure Controller Kit with PX06 compressor This pairs a 9-litre aluminium tank, water trap and Nitto coupling with the PX06 compressor, so you can adjust airbag pressure without pulling over to hand-pump. Buy if you're switching between empty and loaded runs more than once a week, whether that's a Colorado tray or a T60 canopy.
The in-cab pick: Digital Airbag Inflation Kit PX01 3-Button A three-button digital controller lets you inflate or deflate airbags from inside the cab, which is useful before hitching a van or after dropping a load at the tip. Consider this if you tow often enough that stopping to adjust pressure manually gets old fast.
The installation essentials pick: Airbag Fitting Kit Covers the air lines, fittings and hardware needed for a clean, leak-free install alongside any load assist kit. Buy as a companion purchase regardless of which vehicle-specific airbag kit you're fitting.
What to avoid
- Generic "fits most dual-cab utes" airbag kits. Without a bracket engineered for the Colorado or T60's specific leaf spring and chassis rail, the bag can sit at an angle or load one side more than the other.
- Overinflating to compensate for tired leaf springs. Pumping extra air into the bags to mask worn factory springs makes the ride harsh when empty and doesn't fix the underlying spring fatigue.
- Kits with no confirmed fitment for your exact vehicle. If a listing can't confirm LDV T60 fitment specifically, that's a sign to call and check before you buy, not a reason to assume it'll be close enough.

FAQ
Is there a confirmed airbag suspension kit for Holden Colorado?
Yes. Boss Air Suspension lists the LA-13 kit as the confirmed fitment for Holden Colorado RG and Great Wall Cannon utes, using two double bellow airbags with matching brackets. It's currently a clearance item at A$540 with full warranty still applying.
Does LDV T60 have a specific Boss airbag kit in 2026?
Not currently listed. Contact Boss Air Suspension directly or check the vehicle application guide before ordering, rather than assuming a kit built for another ute will fit the T60's rear end correctly.
Will airbag suspension increase my Colorado's towing capacity?
No. Airbag suspension supports the existing rear leaf springs to reduce sag and keep the vehicle level under load, but it doesn't change the vehicle's legal GVM or towing capacity figures set by the manufacturer.
Can I adjust airbag pressure without tools?
Yes, if you add a digital inflation controller like the PX01 3-button kit. It lets you inflate or deflate from inside the cab, which is faster than manually connecting a hand pump at each fitting.
How much does airbag suspension cost for a Holden Colorado?
The confirmed LA-13 kit is currently priced at A$540 as a clearance item. Pricing on compressors, controllers and fitting kits varies, so check current listings for the full setup cost.
Does a suspension lift affect which airbag kit fits my ute?
Yes. Boss lists separate kit variants for standard-height vehicles and lifted vehicles across its ute range, and using the wrong height variant can leave the airbag sitting at the wrong angle.
Is airbag suspension a DIY install?
Bolt-on kits using factory mounting points are generally suited to a home installer with basic tools in an afternoon. Kits requiring drilling or custom brackets are better handled by a workshop.
What warranty comes with Boss Air Suspension load assist kits?
Boss Air Suspension backs its load assist kits with a five-year warranty and Australian-based support, covering the airbags and included hardware under normal use.
One last thing
The LA-13 kit's clearance pricing at A$540 makes it one of the more accessible confirmed fitments in the Boss Air Suspension range for 2026, but clearance stock doesn't restock the same way full-price lines do. If you're running a Holden Colorado and the fitment is confirmed, that's the one to act on before the run sells out, rather than waiting and hoping for another batch later in 2026.
