Firestone air bag compressor location

I bought a firstone ride rite air bag kit and a compressor with it. If anyone could give me a suggestion of where to mount the compressor, I would appreciate it. Thanks! Oh, I just got a 2002 7.3. My last tow vehicle was a 1998 E350 V10 conversion van.

Mines been mounted on the underbody, just outside the DS seat mounts/frame for five years now, without any problems.. If you live where salted roads are common in the winter, you may want to offer it more protection..

Regardless of where you mount it, make sure the little cylinder head looking piece is oriented upward so moisture doesn't collect inside..

Congrats on the new X!!
