Air Tank Mounting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Can I get some pics of where you guys are mouting your air tanks with a Porterbuilt Trailing Arm suspension? I have the one from RideTech but it's a tad to big for where I want to put it. I'd also appreciate some info(what brand and where you got them) on some smaller diameter tanks, that might make my original location work again. I believe the one I have now is like 7" diameter without the feet. I'd probably need a 5" diameter without the feet or figure out a different location. Thanks for the help in advance.

I assume you want it under the bed?

I was going to attempt to put it on the frame rails under the cab. My current tank hits the supports making it hang below the frame. I'm raising my bed floor so under that is always an option just wanted to do it the other way if possible. If not, under the bed floor they go.

I just about finished putting a tank compressor and valve on the driver's side. I plan on doing the same on the passenger side. I did not put it under the bed because of I have a step side bed, which limits the room under it. I put them under the cab.

Hope it helps.

Well, here's mine if you have fleetside, I like it so far... I have since moved the compressor further forward to accomodate my hidden hitch and bumper brackets.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking now I maybe move them back on the side of my gas tank if I can't find any smaller diameter tanks
