On Board Compressor

The final step in adding air springs to the truck to to install an onboard compressor.  I installed the air springs previously.

The original installation gave me air springs with an inflation port.  Basically what is shown below.


The addition of the onboard compressor and manifold assembly/controller makes the system more user friendly.


I didn't want to drill holes in the frame, so I ordered a plate that would mount the tank and compressor and would clamp to the frame.

Custom plate to clamp to the frame.



Compressor and tank mounted on the custom plate.

Pneumatic quick connect for tire inflator, etc.

Air hose allow access to all truck and trailer tires.
