Suggestions for air management mounting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**CYLFD** · 07-29-2013, 07:38 PM

I'm looking for ideas on what some of y'all have done about mounting your air management controls etc.

I have Porterbuilt stage II rear with Accuair elevel and I'm trying to find the best place to mount all manifold etc. I also have dual tanks with Porterbuilts bracket for the tanks and compressors on the side of the frame.

Any help,ideas, pics of what you've done or seen would be greatly appreciated these are really nice parts so I want to make sure and do it right the first time.

My Accuair eLevel is mounted to the outside of the frame behind the cab and in front of the rear wheel on the drivers side. I'm using the exo mount system and it fits perfect. Dual compressors and 5 gal tank.

Step or fleet?
Raised floor or hump?
All of my air equipment is hidden. Tank on a custom bracket on my raised floor, compressors on brackets along the side and up inside the bed walls. Nothing visible.

Here's what I did with my manifold. There's a bed in it now and everything is still pretty accessible. It's just mounted on one of the AVS compressor mounts, but I'm not sure if there'll be room for your ECU.

@CLYFD. I have the exo mounted so that the bottom of the mount is level with the bottom of the bedside. You can only see it if you look under the bed. You can mount it higher if you wanted.

Thanks for the input I'm still playing with different locations. I don't want it to show but want it some what accessible.
