Air Tank Mounting Question

This is what I should have done to begin with. I don't really need the extra speed or play time, probably at first once I'm done building it but when the excitement wears off I will be ok. I'm a old guy and just like to keep up with the kids these days.

I didn’t even think of playtime, probably because I want to install limiters so my truck raises and lowers more slowly and smoothly. Not into the bounce or cycling the suspension very much, but to each their own.

That was the goal with quoting the spec and my experience with tanks of similar construction. I had to resist the urge to give anything resembling a recommendation and just provide info. As you said they are potentially dangerous and you’re better off err’ing on the side of caution.
