I am pretty sure the shop I had do the work drilled into the frame to mount the brackets. I can verify ...?

This is the one I bought: https://www.truckid.com/viair/400-se...ml?view=175803
I have never had the 480 but it said "next gen" on the 485s so I figured what the heck. Seems to fill up a 37" tire from 15 to 45 psi in 2-3 mins.

The 480 is a 100% duty cycle rated at 100 psi

https://www.viaircorp.com/dual-packs/dual480c
vs this:
https://www.viaircorp.com/new/485c-gen2-dual-value-pack
They both appear to be 200psi, just one has language about how it's "next gen" and supposedly better

I don't have air bags or air horn, etc, but for the truck and camper tires, I use this portable DeWalt inflator.

If it does what you need, it's much more inexpensive and simpler.

That's great for inflating pool toys and basketballs. For anything else, like tires, do not get those crappy portable compressors that plug into 12V (cigarette lighter). Get one that properly attaches directly to the battery. You can get inexpensive portable compressors for less than $100 that have proper, direct-to-battery connections. VIair 88P is one such example, but there are others. If your compressor features the 12V plug, keep shopping.

Thanks Tricon! I just got another gauge pod delivered yesterday and plan on doing a 2.0 version where the gauges sit deeper into the pod. I plan on taking pictures through all of the steps and do a write up on how to go about building one. It will probably be a month or two.

Thanks to Anthony Ramos (AR Fabrication) for getting the dual compressor mounting unit to me! Here's a few shots of my pre-assembly yesterday in my garage.
AR's mount and the Viair combination are really high quality. I can't wait to get it all in and working - I'll post progress here periodically.
One thing I have to say is that everything fits perfectly on the mounts. The compressor holes and the tank mount are spot on which makes this trial assembly a cinch.
