Re: Compressor mounting location?
Compressor location isn't really critical. You just want it to stay out of direct tire spray so you aren't soaking it in road grime every time it rains. There are lots of places to mount them on their sides inside the frame rail. Or, some people mount them outside the frame rail at the very back (this could get you some tire spray on a fleetside). On my last iteration, mine (2 compressors) hung upside down from 2 welded plates such that they straddled the driveshaft. I added a small PVC elbow to the intakes so that the air inlet was facing down to reduce the chance of picking up water.
Oh... most are pretty loud, so pick a place away from the cab, and mount them with some rubber (most have rubber feet already).
