Air Tank

I have a 2019 lariat long wheel base with 6.7 engine. I also have the powered steps. Where are you guys mounting air compressors and 5 gallon tanks?

Behind the step passenger side. The air tank is almost touching the bed sheet metal and the compressor is just in front of it.

Air Tank 200 psi system

I mounted my tank in front of the passenger side rear tire. Excuse the mud on the tank. The air compressor is on a "L" plate mount bolted to the frame. Works great. Also have lines run to my shocker air horns mounted behind the air dam.

I see that's a 2.5 gallon. Think a 5 gallon would fit? I need to blow out water lines, air my tires up and down, etc.

Looks like you have stationary step boards. I have the power boards that go in and out. I think I have less room along the outer frame rails

I think it is going to depend on the way it mounts as and the length/diameter.
Mine is not mounted through the bed. So it cam mount about as mothe inch higher

They are a little pricey but something like an ARB Twin compressor would probably be up to the task and not need as large of a tank, although the bigger the better I guess.

Mine is mounted on top of the spare tire. The two compressors and the 5 gallon tank all fit up there with good amount of space and also away from the elements. I made a steel plate to mount everything on then mounted the plate to the crossbars. Spare tire still fully functional.

I ran a 3gal tank and 580 compressor in the area your steps probably reside while retracted. Since you have the long bed though I would think you have plenty of room in there to mount a 3-5g tank and compressor.
