mounting air fitting for air bags

I made a bracket that uses the bolts from the running board. It's out of the way behind the rear door.

When on-board compressor is luxury, having valves with gauges on the side of driver seat, I could always see the pressure when entering the truck.
Than my bags would hold the air for months, so unless I load heavy, I did not have to inflate them for long time.
Than when I did need to air them, one of those $10 compressors did the job in just minute.
Get the console with gauges and you won't be sorry.

I'll have to see how much room I have in there.

Thanks for all the advise.
I'm installing them today and will post a picture of where they end up.

I ran bags for a few years without, and it kinda’ sucks. There’s never air when and where you want it and if a bag leaks down a little you can’t fix it.

Having buttons to press to adjust your suspension on the fly, any time anywhere is pretty great.

In lieu of trying to find air somewhere, or installing a compressor, we carry a high pressure bicycle pump (100-150 psi) with us. We can pump up a 5 psi bag to 30 psi in less than 30 sec. Not for everyone, but it works for us :)

I have both of mine on the bottom of the passenger side of the bed just behind the cab. I did it for two reasons. I don't ever want to be standing on the traffic side of the truck to add air. I don't trust other drivers. Secondly I routed the air lines inside the frame rails and away from the tires so that a blow out will not rip out the air lines. Yes that happened on my first set up.

My camper sticks out a ways past the bumper.

I didn't think the compressor was worth the extra $$ either.
