Air Ride Install.. Questions about location of components

This is going into 65 Burban. I know I will be mounting the tanks between the rear quarter and the frame however wondering where alot of you mount the rest of the gear. I would like to be able to access it for troubleshooting etc so I was thinking about putting everything inside however wouldnt that also put the pressure relief inside the cab as well making it noisy when lowering? With it laying frame if something went wrong, near impossible to get to.

Looking for ideas, suggestions.

Re: Air Ride Install.. Questions about location of components

the closer you run the valves to the bags the less air it will take to fill them. thats about as helpful as I can be on a burb.

Re: Air Ride Install.. Questions about location of components

Have you already purchased your valves? The only reason I ask is because if you haven't, I would recommend you getting some type of manifold set up like accuair's for sheer simplicity of installation and room it takes up. I think it's well worth the additional $ when comparing it to 8 separate valves.

Re: Air Ride Install.. Questions about location of components

If you had to run the valves inside, you could laways route the dump outside in order to keep the noise down. As for compressors, I mounted mine on the back part of the frame right behind the rear bumper. I am not sure if there is room for this on a 65 burb, but might be worth checking out.
