I kinda had a hunch that was so. Still, can't hurt, eh?
One more bed brace to blast, and I think I'll be doing the final light blasting of the bed for primer.
In between the previous sandblasting episodes (waiting for the air compressor to cool, for example), I started placing the Air Ride components.
While I initially planned to tuck an air tank or two inside bulbous rear fenders, I ended up placing the kit's air tank on the left side leg of the "X". This frame makes it tricky to place a tank, though it is easier with the bed floor raised. You need to take into account room for the driveshaft, room to plumb the lines, tank servicability, access to tank drain, operation of rear sway bar, serviceability of differential, etc..... The compressor will likely go right where I have it in the picture. I'll be running single exhaust down the passenger side, so no room over there.
