I think it's cool how 10 different guys will do something 10 different ways and everyone of them is awsome..........................Good work guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The solenoids fit between and under the 2 front cross sills.

I was thinking the same thing, even with heat shields those solenoid valves wont last.

Re: Anybody have pics of their airride install???

hey guys have a quick question about the battery mount on frame rails. On the Stepside bed applications. I have moved my gas tank between my frame rails in rear and I have put my air tanks and compressor on outside of frame rails in rear. Where would be a good place to put my battery? There is not enough room for the CPP drop out tray because the stepside beds come into much. Any help or ideas would be much appreciated. Thanks
