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 remember seeing this. I dont recall it being a vendors though. It was pretty slick though.

ChopperCity, is your accuair installed? I have the accuair system on my DD.

This one is Nacho's that Delmo built. I saved the pic because I really like the way it was done.

PM me with the info if you would, please.

Accuair all hidden under the cab and i have a drop down battery box on the other side.

dznucks · 11-02-2012, 07:07 AM

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.

SBC · 11-02-2012, 11:42 AM

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.

jimmydean · 11-02-2012, 11:58 AM

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.

Rochlow · 11-08-2012, 09:54 PM

Less than $10 to mount all this

joel.e · 11-11-2012, 04:14 PM

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?

72BlckButy · 11-11-2012, 04:41 PM

I personally wouldn't recommend placing the compressor in the cab... I think you will regret it in the first few minutes.

big_al_71 · 11-11-2012, 05:35 PM

mine is on the passenger side in front of the tire...Raul built an aluminum plate and bolted it all in...it's been there for a year..

Thanks dude.... Here are a couple more pics of our brackets. Can be mounted a few different ways and we even have Accuair valve mounts for these.

AVS_JASON · 11-12-2012, 06:42 PM

Here is one more with a pic of the Accuair manifold mounted to the top.
