mounting valves in front of rear tire?

do you guys think it is ok for me to mount my valves for my air suspension in front of ther rear tire? or do you think there is going to be to much debris from the road? i am trying to find the best place for them, any help would be great thanks.

I don't think it's a good idea. Make a plate and mount them under the cab.

Re: mounting valves in front of rear tire?

i mounted mine on the frame in front of the rear tires. I've had no issues so far. Been driving it in the non winter months for 2 years now.

here's a pic:

I have mine mounted to the inside of my frame rail. For the record, I don't think the idea is a good one.

Re: mounting valves in front of rear tire?

that is how i was going to mount mine, like evil did. i am actually bagging a longwheel base also. how has that carrier bearing clocked 180 over working for you. i did the same thing but is not road worthy yet. i dont think there will be a lot of road debris in this area from the tires. i also see people mounting tanks in this location also.
