An air management system typically includes a compressor, air tank, valves or a valve block, pressure sensors or switches, airlines, a control unit or switches, and in full air setups, height sensors. Together they control how air is delivered to the airbags or struts and how the system maintains or adjusts ride height.

Yes. Any automatic ride-levelling or preset height system requires an air tank so there is enough stored air to raise the vehicle quickly without overworking the compressor. The tank buffers demand and allows smoother, more reliable height changes.

Manual systems use simple paddle valves or switches to control air pressure by feel, and are typically used for Load Assist or basic custom setups. Electronic systems use solenoid valves, height sensors and an ECU to manage presets and maintain ride height automatically. Legal full-air conversions generally require some form of automatic height control.

Regulations typically require that major ride-height changes do not occur while the vehicle is in motion. Electronic air management systems usually monitor handbrake or vehicle speed and only allow height changes when stationary or below a defined speed, to maintain safety and stability.

The AIRMAX-FBSS-Digital-1/4-Toggle is designed to work with Boss Load Assist kits that accommodate standard height and up to approximately 2 inches of lift. For lifts exceeding 2 inches, it is recommended to pair this system with triple-bellow airbags and/or taller brackets.

The digital gauge system provides real-time monitoring of air pressure, allowing for precise adjustments based on load conditions. This ensures optimal performance and ride quality, making it easier to manage varying loads effectively.

Regular maintenance includes checking the air pressure and ensuring that the digital gauges are functioning correctly. It is also advisable to periodically inspect the system for any leaks or wear, particularly at the fittings and connections.
