Look up “up down air” they make a bracket for arb twin compressor to mount in the bed cleat. I have mine in the forward passenger side with a 1/8 air line the the pac brake controller and a 1/2 line run to the tailgate. All wired to upfitters
I'm looking at the ARB twin compressor system as well but I want to incorporate air bags and have a chuck at the tailgate for my air hose when needed for rv or truck tires. Air tools if the need arises. I'm struggling with marrying all of this together in the best way. Most installers around here use the airlift wireless system and I want to avoid that system and it's issues if at all possible plus the redundant air compressor when I can have one set of twins do it all.
Any info, links, tips etc are welcomed.
What issues are you referring to with the AirLift wireless system? Their latest WirelessAir with EZ Mount is what I have been considering for bags.

Connectivity issues primarily as well as pump failures. Bad enough my installer stopped using them. He said literally everyone they have installed has been a headache for his guys.
Now that said I have read lots of good things about them so take that fwiw. I won’t be exploring them as an option for sure. Lord knows I need all the help I can get to avoid problems without buying known ones.

Interesting. I know they had had connectivity issues where guys were having to relocate the receiver, but I believe that was before moving to Bluetooth and the main reason they switched tech.
I will have to check around a bit more on them. Thanks bud.
F-117HWK I just posted up a thread on the system your looking at Airlift Wireless. Sloooooow to fill and I just figured out my 1 month old bags are bad. Getting replacements sent out next week from airlift. Go a different way.

Based on reading the thread you started, it looks like you found out it may be a bag issue. I would never use that compressor to fill tires either, just need it for the two bags. A separate system will run OBA requirements. Thanks for checking in, keep us posted on how the new bags work out.
Built my own setup for $450 a few years ago, its been super awesome. Fill and dump bags from my upfitters, can always see how much pressure is in the tank or the bags at any time. I use this for my bags, for light air tools and for filling my trailer/truck tires when offroading.

If only there was a good way to mod the upfitters to be a SPDT switch so you could have the fill/dump on one. I opened up their circuits when I first got my truck and didn’t look like there was...
There doesn't seem to be any easy way to make it a double throw. But thats ok, there's enough upfitters for everything I need. (Front 40" LED bar, Air Horn, Bags Inflate, Rear LED cubes, Bags deflate, and my air compressor switch.)
I just purchased a 2017 F350 that already has Firestone airbags with a 9499 compressor. I was thinking of adding an ARB dual compressor system with a tank. I know zero about air systems. Is it feasible to just add a tank and an external hose connection to the existing system? Seems like perhaps I could save lots of money...
I ran a York OBA on my jeep and loved it so much I put it on my Silverado.
Now that thats gone, I’m determined to find a way to mount it on my 19 F250 6.7L.
Not much help for you OP I guess since I don’t think there’s any brackets out there for it, but a good convo starter.
If you arent familiar with a York, it’s a belt driven air compressor (actually an old AC compressor) and they put out a ton of air. Airs up my 35s on my jeep from 6 psi to 26 in like 45 seconds.
oasis compressor. basically an electric motor driven york
I built my own system as well, this is the third system that I have built and they seem to work well. I use a Viair 100% duty compressor mounted inside of a cutdown battery box and my valves are also inside of a small cutdown battery box. to protect them from the elements. I don't drill any holes in the frame of the truck at all, I use existing holes or build brackets. Air compressor box between frame and cab side. It's a tight fit with the power running boards. Air tank and valve box between frame and bed side. Air tank and valve box Inside of valve box. Custom gauge pod installed. Air pressure gauge and inflate/deflate switches.

Nice looking system... something I guess I'll have to strive for when I do mine. Any heat issues putting the compressors in a box?
