Boss Extreme series airbags are rated at 2500lb or 1136kg per side and have been government approved tested to over 750psi.

All Boss airbags are manufactured by us and are branded Boss. Beware of unbranded airbags, usually coming from China from other companies.

Average dual cab ute will run around 15-45psi depending on load.

Boss has sold over 45,000 load assist kits in Australia, proven over time with 4WD enthusiasts, Mining companies, Tradies, 4WD Tour Operators as well as in Agricultural Vehicles, Trailers and motorhomes, limited only to your imagination.

To get the best performance from your kit inflate airbags just enough to achieve a level ride height. By doing this you are also allowing all of the suspension components to share the extra load of the vehicle and not putting any unnecessary pressure on any one individual part of your vehicles suspension.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between Load Assist and full air suspension?

Load Assist kits retain the original suspension (usually leaf springs) and simply help support the load and correct sag. Full air suspension replaces the primary springs with airbags or bag-over-strut units so the vehicle rides entirely on air. Full air systems usually include automatic height control and more complex air management.

Are there legal requirements for full air suspension systems?

Yes. In many regions, full air suspension must include automatic ride-height control and must not allow large, sudden height changes while driving. Electronic systems typically use a handbrake or speed input so major adjustments are only possible when stationary or at very low speed. Engineering approval or certification is often required.

How do I determine the correct air pressure for the airbags?

For optimal performance, inflate the airbags just enough to achieve a level ride height. Typical pressures for dual cab utes range from 15 to 45 psi, depending on the load. Always check the vehicle's stance to ensure it is level after inflation.

Are the airbags in this kit interchangeable with other brands?

No, the Boss 2500 double airbags are specifically designed for this kit and are not interchangeable with airbags from other brands. Always use the provided Boss components to ensure compatibility and performance.

Is professional installation recommended for this kit?

While the Buick 49 - 53 Load Assist Kit (Front) includes instructions for fitting, professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and performance. This is particularly important for achieving the correct air pressure and ensuring the airbags are installed safely.
