I just ordered a compressor kit from Viair & was wondering where you guys have them mounted on you super duties. The kit comes with the compressor, 2.5 gallon tank, pressure switch, gauge, & hardware.
Tank and compressor are mounted outside the right frame rail. With a 2.5 gal tank you can mount both under the cab or under the box.
I have a 5 gal tank right side under the box, a 3 gal tank left side under the box, and twin Viair 380C's under the cab, right side. With a couple of air line quick disconnects permanently mounted to the truck, I have easy access to air for tools and airing up tires/airbags.
What I did with mine was take an old propane tank from the bar-b-que and use that as my air reservoir. It's got a 7 gallon capacity that I keep pressurized to 140 PSI
