So I’m looking too add an onboard air system to my 2017 F250. Was wondering what setups others have run. I’ve looked at Via air and Hornblasters. Anyone know of a cheaper tire delete kit? $220 for the bracket seems steep. Any info, photos, and/or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Curious what all you plan to run.

I used a $70 China Ebay compressor on by first f150 for air bags and tires. Worked great till i sold truck a few years later. I bought a 2nd for my f250, fenders are clean enough with gas engine it will mount under hood, and ran airline to a chuck in bed. Looking at a 450 and would probably setup but put below cab.

they dont move alot of air, works great on bags or air hitch, little slower on tires. But if it's not used every day I would recommend it.

 

This looks good

 

This is the second truck I've run a Viar 200 psi air source. It's the one with the compressor mounted on the tank all in one, and I just mount it in ​​​the front passenger corner of the bed. I run an air line down to a distributer block at he tailgate and have a coupler and pressure release valve there. In a previous truck, I did a separate compressor and tank mounted on the frame rail, but this one is just easier and works the same for my purposes (trailer and truck tire adjustment and Goosebox air bag fill).

Viair compressors work great and are plenty strong and trouble free on my experience.

I use a viair constant duty setup. If you are airing tires over 35 inches I highly recommend dual compressors. One will do it but it will take some time.

 

I had the Kleinn system installed. Works great. I wish it had more volume. I'd like to add another tank.

I’d use an ARB dual compressor. We run those on the Jeeps and you can take a 37” tire from 8psi to 35psi in about 2-3 minutes.

 

I am running a dual 380C Viair compressors (200psi) with a 2.5 gallon tank. My install did not interfere with the spare tire. I made my own brackets. I have the compressors mounted above and to the left and right of the spare tire. The tank is above and in front of the spare. I spent about 30 bucks on all the materials to make the brackets. I had to drill only one hole in the plate over the spare tire.

You can see the photos of the install on this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post18808232

 

Looks great.

 

I'm using twin viair 480 compressors, 200 psi 100% duty cycle. Should note that 100% is not at 200 psi though.

Compressors are mounted under the bed in front of the right rear tires, a 3 gallon tank is under the passenger rear door. A 5 gallon tank is mounted above the driveshaft, lot of room up there. I don't use that tank much as it has a bad weld and leaks down overnight.

I use two pressure switches, a 150 and a 200 psi switch. Most of the time I only use the 150. I'll use the 200 when inflating my RV tires.

 

I used a continuous duty Airmaxxx 580 compressor and a higher volume/flow Klutch HD compressor (Northern tool).

-- Airmaixxx 580 200psi ..... 150/120 psi switch - 3.5cfm
-- Klutch HD 150psi ..... 120/90 psi switch - 5.3cfm
(anywhere below 90psi they are both running, only the Airmaxxx runs from 120-150psi)

Also, switchs were used to keep both compressors below their max rated psi to limit stress.

I was trying to build a system with as much air flow as possible. Almost all of these compressors spec cfm at 0 psi. But, this does make them somewhat comparible.

Anyway...... here's my system is you want to take a look: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post18046867

 

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.

 

And duty cycle at half rated PSI

 

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.

 

I use my onboard air for my air bags, rv tires, rv winterization and anything other reason i can find to pull out the air hose. For air bag integration, I use the Pacbrake AMP Air management wireless air spring controller. The model I got was the HP10325. It was an easy install with no gauges or switches in the cab but I did wire mine to an upfitter. It is controlled by my iphone. The app allows control of each airbag individually or together and shows the current pressure in each bag. I have been using it for about 6 months and I am happy with it. The best price I found online was at Stage 3 Motorsports.
