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 Boss Auto Pressure Controller Kit is designed to work with Boss Load Assist airbags, which typically support a lift range of up to 2 inches with standard 2500 or 2600 bags. For lifts greater than 2 inches, it is recommended to use triple-bellow bags (2503 or 2603) along with appropriate brackets or spacers.

Yes, the Boss Auto Pressure Controller Kit includes a PX06 Heavy-Duty Compressor and a 9L aluminium tank, making it suitable for inflating tyres and powering small air tools. The remote Nitto coupling allows for easy access to air supply for these applications.

The Auto Pressure Controller allows for independent adjustment of left and right airbags, enabling you to level your vehicle under varying loads. This feature is particularly useful for towing or carrying heavy gear, ensuring maximum stability and comfort.

The three memory presets in the Auto Pressure Controller allow you to save and quickly recall your preferred air pressures for different driving scenarios, such as daily driving, towing a caravan, or carrying heavy loads. This convenience enhances user experience and optimises vehicle performance.

The water trap included in the kit protects the air system from moisture build-up, which can lead to corrosion and reduced performance of the airbags and compressor. Regular maintenance of the water trap will help extend the life of your system.

The PX06 compressor is designed for heavy-duty applications and has a longer duty cycle compared to smaller compressors. It is suitable for regular use in inflating airbags, tyres, and powering air tools, making it a reliable choice for demanding conditions.
