The Nissan Nv200 is a light commercial and leisure activity 5 door van, produced by Nissan since 2009. It has been marketed as the Chevrolet city express, the Ewolf delta 2 shuttle, the Nissan Evalia and the nv200 Vanetta. The NV200 was awarded the professionaland light truck magazines 'VAN OF THE YEAR' 2010.
We offer 2 different types of rear kits for this van, Load support and Limo kit covering the entire range of NV200 models.
Limo Kit
What air suspension is, and why you should choose an AirRide kit
This is another rear end kit for the Nissan NV 200. This kit offers a smoother ride and is ideal for lightly laden vehicles where this particular vehicle has a very harsh ride quality.
This kit has a bolt on cradle which is a very simple install, along with lower brackets which are equally straight forward. The kit is not inflated by Schrader (tyre) valves as the air suspension is the only method of suspension after removal of the rear of the leaf spring, which must be cut away. Side location for the rear axle is created by the use of a panard rod seen in some pictures above. This kit requires an OBA option which is not included in this Bag/Bracket kit.
Load support kit
What air suspension is, and why you should choose an AirRide kit
This is a rear end load support air suspension kit for the Nissan NV200, Inflated via Schrader valves (tyre valves) and nothing extra required to get kit working. Designed for heavy vehicles this kit retains the original leaf spring in position. OBA kits below are optional extras.
What air suspension is, and why you should choose an AirRide kit
What is air suspension?
Air suspension basically involves replacing the metal suspension springs in your van with air bags, or air springs. This means you can set your van to any height you wish and constantly adjust the height of your van after installation and while on the road.
AirRide have been manufacturing and selling air suspension kits for over 20 years. We pride ourselves on supplying the very best kits available, with components chosen for reliability and safety. No-one else has our experience, knowledge of as many air suspension markets, or product range. We never compromise on safety to get costs down, and even our basic kits far exceed minimal functional requirements.
We are your go-to, one-stop-shop for all your air needs. Read on to get your van on air.
Full or rear suspension?
Kits for vans can either be full suspension or rear suspension. Full suspension kits, like most kits for cars, feature four air bags (one for each corner of the vehicle) and can be used to both raise and lower the vehicle.
Rear-end kits, otherwise known as load-support kits, are fitted to the rear of the vehicle only, in addition to the vehicle's existing metal spring. They are primarily used simply to lift the rear and bring it level with the front of the vehicle. They are ideal for vans that carry lots of load at the back and have, or are in danger of having, a sagging rear.
Safety
Specifications vary but safety never does! All our car kits:
- Are fully circuit independent, with four circuits, front, back and side to side. We do not offer two-circuit systems for cars, as they are neither safe or legal for road use
- Use the highest-quality, leak-free unions
- Include safety-pressure relief valves
- Includes an air tank gauge, if your kit includes a tank
AIR MANAGEMENT
Air works best with air management. Find out how to control your air here
Basic kits
If you’re only looking for something simple, we can still provide exactly what you’re after. If you want air suspension without all the bells and whistles, we offer single-axle bag/bracket or strut kits or basic Schrader (tyre) valve kits with no On-Board Air.
If you want a bit more but still don’t want solenoids or a computer system, you can opt for a Manual Paddle Control kit, which uses four electric-window-style paddles to control your air on each corner of the vehicle.
ON BOARD AIR KIT - LOW DUTY
For the ultimate in versatility the use of an On Board Air (OBA) supply gives the ability to lift and drop the vehicle at the touch of a button (including on the move). All basic kits come with Schrader valves (tyre valves) meaning that you can inflate the system anywhere you can inflate a tyre. This is fine for assistance kits as with big vans and motor-homes using "assistance" kits but for those using airbags as the sole suspension (Vito/T4/T5) and OBA kit allows adjustment for all variations of road, weather and load conditions.
This is the Low Duty OBA kit for irregular use. The compressor is rated at 15% duty cycle at 100 psi, and a maximum of 120 psi (bag max rating 100 psi). Appropriate pressure switch relay fittings and a small tank are included for instant adjustment.
ON BOARD AIR KIT - STANDARD DUTY
For the ultimate in versatility the use of an On Board Air (OBA) supply gives the ability to lift and drop the vehicle at the touch of a button (including on the move). All basic kits come with Schrader valves (tyre valves) meaning that you can inflate the system anywhere you can inflate a tyre. This is fine for assistance kits as with big vans and motor-homes using "assistance" kits but for those using airbags as the sole suspension (Vito/T4/T5) and OBA kit allows adjustment for all variations of road, weather and load conditions.
This is the Standard Duty OBA kit for daily use. The compressor is rated at 100% duty cycle at 100 psi, and a maximum of 200 psi (bag max rating 100 psi). Appropriate pressure switch relay fittings and a small tank are included for instant adjustment.

AIRRIDE RANGES FOR YOUR VEHICLE
The types of AirRide kit available for your van. Each one offers something different
AirRide Custom
AirRide Custom is a range of kits that we build to order.
We have lots of Custom kits already listed in our ‘Shop’ section, but if you can’t find a kit for your car we should still be able to build a Custom kit for you – just call us or send us an e-mail.
Dunlop kits are load-support kits, meaning they are fitted in addition to your vehicle's existing metal spring.
These kits are only fitted to the rear of a vehicle. They are ideal for balancing out the excessive load at the rear of a van and preventing the rear end from sagging, or lifting it again once it has already sagged.
Dunlop kits are pre-made, not made to order like a Custom kit.
Advantages
AirRide Custom kits:
✅ Can be tailor-made to your vehicle’s exact specifications, meaning they should always be a perfect fit
✅ Can be made for almost any vehicle, no matter how rare
✅ Are made by us, here at AirRide, ensuring the highest-quality standards available
✅ Are designed from the ground up to ensure they work best with your vehicle. For instance, our T5 kits have specially-designed front struts to support a heavier air bag
✅ Offer a really smooth ride and much better handling than standard suspension
Whats in the kit
It’s impossible to say exactly what’s in an AirRide Custom kit because each one is made from scratch to suit your vehicle’s needs!
If you want to know exactly what you’ll be getting, either before or after ordering the kit, call or email us and we’ll be happy to tell you once we know your vehicle and any necessary measurements.
AirRide Custom is available with air management, but can also come with a basic Schrader valve kit. Schrader valve kits cannot be used to control your air from on board the vehicle, instead requiring you to re-inflate your system every month or so at a local garage or petrol station. This works fine with load-support kits but is not recommended for full-suspension kits.
Advantages
Dunlop kits:
✅ Are bolt-on bumpstop replacement, meaning they’re so easy to install any garage should be able to fit it, and you might even be able to install it yourself
✅ Smooth out harsh rides
✅ Lift your NV200's rear to help overcome grounding issues
✅ Level the front and rear of your NV200, improving handling and decreasing the effect of side wind by stabilising it
Whats in the kit
Here’s exactly what you get in your kit:
⭐ Two bumpstop-replacement air bags
⭐ Precision-made brackets designed to fit effortlessly on your NV200
⭐ All the lines and fittings needed to fit the kit to your NV200

Schrader valve kits cannot be used to control your air from on board the vehicle, instead requiring you to re-inflate your system every month or so at a garage or petrol station. This is not recommended for full air suspension kits, but is fine for use with Dunlop kits, as all Dunlop kits are only fitted to the rear.
