Airride Install Help (pic request)

[Big hec]

Hello all, I'm installing my first air ride kit on my 70 c10 fleetside shortbed. Got my kit from EZ airride. I was wondering if you guys could maybe post some pics of where you mounted compressors and tanks. My kit came with a 7 gallon tank. Its says it's supposed to fit between the frame rails, but it looks a bit to big. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't be scared to fabricate a tank mount that centrally locates the tank in the middle of the frame and gives equi-distant line from tank to bag. Probably a good idea. My tank is in the middle of mine, but I am probably a bit more extreme than you are going.

Lower mounts are the original mounts cut off the rear end, the excess trimmed away, & then welded to the lower 4-bar mount. The upper mount is a standard C10/20/30 upper shock stud mounted to the upper bridge beam. I did have to machine the shaft to a smaller diameter to fit inside the sleeve on the Bilsteins since the sleeves are almost impossible to press out.

This arrangement allowed the slight side shift that resulted from using a Panhard bar.....
