Show off your "Air Ride setup"

Im fixing to start the build on the 67 shortwheel & im looking for ideas for mounting the air tank, compressor, switches, ect. It has an original wood bed floor that i will raise up to componsate for the Porterbuilt setup in the rear but I would like to mount the air compressor and air tank on the frame somewhere out of sight but still look nice if someone looks underneath. If you have pics of your setup please post & since im a little new to the air ride it will help me out if you tell me what your running as well. im looking for something programable that will go to a certain ride hight when I want. I would like for something that i could maybe hide under the dash or in the glove box that all i have to do is push a button & she goes to the ground at a certain speed. (not to fast but before christmas to)

Re: Show off your "Air Ride setup"

Get Accuair eLevel. It's the best system out there for preset ride heights using sensor arms and not air pressure. Ride monitor modes and load leveling. I have their EXO mount system with dual compressors and 5 gallon tank. It's all bolted together in one unit and is mounted to the outside of my frame rail behind the cab and in front of the rear tires under the bed. The mount system also holds he ECU and air valve manifold all in one neat and tidy show quality package. I'd never do it any other way.

Re: Show off your "Air Ride setup"

From what ive been reading accuair is the only way to go, Ive been looking and I like the way mike losh has his mounted on the inside of his frame and has his exhaust going into a single. I Definatly like the EXO Mounts. what do you attach the sensor arms to?

Re: Show off your "Air Ride setup"

Here's one. 4 gallon tank, Viair 444, accuair, 3/8" line and 7 switches all under the bed (eventually there will be some wood there) and out of sight.

Re: Show off your "Air Ride setup"

Dakota Digital DHC-2102 uses 4 height sensors and 5 pressure sensors (4 bags and tank pressure) has 3 presets and auto leveling plus adjustable speed settings front and rear.
Plus it cost less than the other guys and you know what your bag & tank pressures are.
Accuair valves of course.
York EDC. Quiet & Fast. So Fast.
Top quality and lowest cost air management

So what do you figure you have tied up in this setup?
