A little progress on my suspension, 2wd bags
 
1 Attachment(s)
After a long winter of waiting for warmer weather (no garage heater) I have finally started on my suspension. Today I figured out where I am going to put my front tank and valves. We really don't have much room on these Blazers/Jimmy's to put the tanks and valves. Up front I am going to run a two gallon tank with my valves mounted to it. The tank will be mounted a couple inches behind the front bumper, but in front of the first crossmember.
Here's a picture.

The valves do not hang below the frame at all. I will probably mount a piece of aluminum under the tank and valves to try to keep some dirt and water away, but this is going to be a fair weather vehicle anyway.

In the rear I am going to run a three gallon tank, it will be just outside the frame rail on the passengers side. The front and rear tank will be tied together with 1/2 air line. Both tanks will be fed by a York compressor.

I hope to have all of this done by mid May. I only get a few hours a week in the garage, so this will be a long project.

Interseting place to put the set-up, a couple of ?'s, does it interfear with
the bumper? does it interfear with the rad deflector? who makes the tank?

It doesn't interfere with either. It's about two inches behind the bumper, and the top fitting will be about 1/2" from the radiator deflector. The tank is two gallon, do you want the physical measurements?

Very creative place to mount the set-up....
