Boss Outback Air Pro 5, 12Volt

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 Outback Air Pro 5 is designed for high-volume air needs, making it ideal for inflating 4x4 tyres, running air lockers, and powering small air tools. It is particularly useful in off-road situations where quick adjustments are necessary.

The kit includes a Boss Aluminium Air Tank with a capacity of 5 gallons (16 litres). Its dimensions are 210mm high, 180mm in diameter, and 740mm long. The aluminium construction ensures it will not rust internally, providing longevity and reliability.

The included 110-135psi pressure switch is designed to maintain optimal air pressure within this range, ensuring consistent performance for your air tools and tyre inflation needs.

Yes, the Boss Outback Air Pro 5 can efficiently inflate tyres for multiple vehicles, making it suitable for group outings or when assisting friends. Its high-volume output allows it to handle several inflations in quick succession.

The Boss PX-07 compressor, with its 3/4 hp rating, is designed for heavy-duty use, providing a strong airflow necessary for high-demand applications. Its 12-volt operation makes it compatible with most 4x4 setups, ensuring reliable performance in the field.

To maintain the Boss Aluminium Air Tank, it is important to periodically drain any moisture that accumulates inside. This helps prevent corrosion and ensures optimal performance. Regular checks will help extend the life of the system.
