Mouny the compressor under the passengers seat. Cut the brackets off the tank and mount is using long zip ties and put it right in front of the passenger seat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't put in the adjustable ride height though. I did have to raise the passenger seat about an inch for the tanks to fit though.

If I get the adjustable ride height set up I'll figure out something for a heat shield. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The valve box is under the driver’s seat. My friend made me up a nifty mount for the controller. He welded a bar that we bent to the bolt that holds the tach- this keeps it from getting sand blasted. I used 3/8 inch lines and fittings to air down and up faster- 1/4 inch works great though too. I use the Funco cooler up front to hold things - and I like the nostalgia of it. Hope this helps.

Got the ole nogging thinking... Got all my stuff to do this project on my Hustler. I do air suspension on cars on the side, so im going a little different style. Big compressor, big tank, big PSI, switched and wireless remote and an actual gauge that shows each corner bag pressure and tank pressure. Should be fun! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
