Air Management Setup Pictures
 
Looking for some ideas and wanted to see how you set up your air management, that is the layout of your tanks, compressors, valves, etc.

Let's see what your great minds have designed.

Who was the vendor that came up with something like a drop down battery box? They aren't producing it yet, but it sure was slick.

I mounted all my Accuair components in a box. Compressor is in the same location on passenger side. Two three gallon tanks mounted on the frame rails. The supply side of the system is all 1/2" hard lines supplying both inputs to the valve block, the feed side is 3/8" plastic lines.

I don't know for sure. They are designed to be used with a 3 gallon tank... and I have mocked it up with the aluminum ridetech tanks, but not sure if the air pod would fit as a unit.

Re: Air Management Setup Pictures
 
Mine will be similar to this only mounted to the frame rather than the bridge. I am not using the Accuair mount because my tank is too big. But it will be similar.

Re: Air Management Setup Pictures
 
If you are going to run a rear fuel tank it seems real estate gets limited to hide a tank if you are going to keep a stock bed floor. Has anyone put the stuff behind the seat?? I know the tank will fit but will the compressor(s) drive you crazy? I've never had a full air suspension system so I don't have a feel for how much the compressors would run? I'm guessing the intake noise is the majority so you could duct the pickup out the floor or something. What do you think?

Re: Air Management Setup Pictures
 
I personally wouldn't recommend placing the compressor in the cab... I think you will regret it in the first few minutes. :)

Here's some pics of my old setup. Slim 5 gal tank behind the seat, compressors mounted to the frame rail with the lines coming through the cab floor.

I got one of those slick new boxes from PB. Although its designed for mounting a compressor and tank, I used it to mount the Ride Tech valves and to store the extra cable that runs to the e3 ECM that I mounted next to it. I'm going to hang a flap from the bed rail to shield it from water that might get slung from the wheel.

Any pictures of the hardline setup prior to install under the truck?

Porterbuilt tank/compressor brackets on both sides and Accuair controls will go on the added cross brace.

My system is a mess compared to these. I need something smaller to go under the truck. Any suggestions for a stepside with a rear mounted fuel tank. I would like to upgrade to dual compressors to have a faster recovery time anyway.
