well the Firestone ride rite air bags and compressor are coming
today, looking to find a place to mount the compressor.
I see one was put on the frame under the passenger
seat side just behind the tire on his Chev 2500HD truck.
Just wandering if anybody has put it somewhere else?
That spot is right behind the right front tire, I would think when
you turn right the tire would throw what ever rocks,mud,water on
the compressor and maybe damage the air lines.

My son and I fabricated a bracket to support the compressor. It is mounted to the frame and under the operators side of the cab. The spot is next to the transmission and a way from the exhaust pipe that is on the right hand side.
We also installed a 3-circuit auxiliary power source that is fused and operated form a keyed on source from the fused power module in the truck. There is also a 30 AMP relay in the circuit.
