I must have missed it, but what are you trying to mount where a 2nd alternator would go? If an air compressor, you might see where Kelderman mount them for their air suspension. I'm assuming with the slammed stance you want air suspension to raise/lower her and keep things super clean. If I'm way off, well... that's nothing new!

Out of curiosity, why the engine drive compressor? It must be for more than just your air suspension, yes? Otherwise it seems like extra drag on the engine whenever you'd be driving, for only a few minutes actual usage. Are you planning to run air tools off it as well?

Its really just for air
I hate waiting for tanks to fill up and I want between 10 & 20 gallons of tanks
At 200psi that would take 2 12v comps too long

The engibe driven compressors have a electric clutch that will be activated by a pressure switch so it will only put a drag on the engine when the system needs air
