I'm putting airlift airbags on my truck shortly. Got the onboard compressor with the dual gauges. Only question I got is where's a good location to mount the gauges? I'm thinking about mounting them in the side of the center console underneath the dash. Anybody got any suggestions?

Thanks,

Ryan

I have the single guage with dual (one red, one black) pointers. They are mounted under the dash, just to the right of the steering column. Works well for me!

You will really enjoy the Air Rides. They really improved my ride quality, both empty and loaded.

You might want to remove your overload springs, or the four strike pads.

What about in the block-off plate at the front of the overhead console? I put my controls there, although mine are the electric switches for solenoids, and my gauge is a Dakota Digital, so there's no air lines going inside the cab at all. Check the link in my sig for a pic (finally got some more pictures up).

Wow! What a great looking setup. I don't think my gauges will work there but thanks for showing them.

Ram,

My setup is the same as felpa41's, and is also installed under the dash right in line with the go-peddle. I can read the guage by looking through the steering wheel and it is not in the way of my right leg.

I was worried about interference with my leg if I put the gauges under the dash. But if 2 people have it there with no problems, I think I'll be okay with it. Thanks for your help.
