Re: Mounting and Plumbing AccuAir Elevel ideas

Sweet, Thanks! So I looked at Old Aux yesterday and I'm guessing that the bracket is intended to be used on raised bed floors. Is that correct? You both have them mounted in a similar location below your raised floor.
I'm not sure how you'd mount this under a stock height floor?

Basically have to determine where u want the controls and then find the best place for your setup....none of mine was "set-in stone" ...I do a lot of experimenting to get what I think is best bang for buck....some like ...some dont.....That's the fun though.....jim

Re: Mounting and Plumbing AccuAir Elevel ideas

I have my tank in a similar spot as dznucks' on the first page, and my compressor, manifold, and wiring mounted on the inside of the frame in front of that. It keeps it fairly tucked up. I have my compressor intake filter in the cab to keep it clean and dry. I can grab a pic next time I'm under the truck if you want, though I must warn, it's not pretty!

Re: Mounting and Plumbing AccuAir Elevel ideas

Thanks guys. I don't have the parts yet. I'm still saving $$$, but it's lower on my priority list so it will be a while. I'm just trying to get some ideas. I may change my mind by the time I actually do my air management install.

Right now I'm leaning toward the PB tank/compressor mounts with dual compressors and 3 gal tanks on either side in front of the rear tires. I'm thinking the best place for the valve and control box will be in the middle somewhere, but I'm not set on that yet.

jtp67-72, I love how you dressed up your bed mounts. That's pretty slick.

Re: Mounting and Plumbing AccuAir Elevel ideas

Subscribing as I'm trying to plan out my new build.

Is there any option to mount the tank(s) under the bed of a stepside?

I'm sure there are a million and two ways to mount the eLevel system, including the ride height sensors. There are some really trick set ups all over this forum.

Not sure if you're asking to see options for mounting the manifold/tank/eLevel or how the sensors can be installed(or both), and if you will be doing a raised bed floor or keeping it the bed floor stock. If you are looking for a basic, non-raised floor, stock frame, non dropmember installation of the AccuAir system on the C10, here is how I have mine set up with the space I have available under the bed and between the frame without any modifications. I have a few pics of the sensor mounted as well if you need to see how I ran mine.

Hope that helps.

Re: Mounting and Plumbing AccuAir Elevel ideas

I got lazy and used a pre-made compressor mount. Leaves plenty of room for e-level if I ever go that route. The bed is installed and raised a couple of inches leaving plenty of room for maintenance.
