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 with PX03 Compressor is designed to work effectively with airbag load assist kits that provide up to a 2-inch lift. For lifts greater than 2 inches, it is recommended to use compatible triple-bellow airbags and appropriate brackets.

This controller is specifically designed for use with BOSS airbag load assist kits. While it may be compatible with some other systems, optimal performance and functionality are guaranteed only when used with BOSS products.

The auto-programmed height adjustment feature activates when the ignition is turned ON or OFF. This allows the system to maintain your preset ride heights automatically, ensuring consistent performance regardless of load changes.

The PX03 compressor has a duty cycle of 33%, which means it can run for approximately one-third of the time before needing to cool down. This is suitable for typical load assist applications, but for continuous use or heavy-duty applications, consider a larger compressor.

The installation of the BOSS Auto Pressure Controller requires only three wires, making it straightforward. The included heavy-duty relay and wiring loom simplify the process, ensuring a clean and safe installation.

The real-time air pressure display is integrated into the LCD wired remote control. It provides instant feedback on the air pressure within the airbags, allowing you to make precise adjustments as needed for optimal performance.
