Firestone Ride-Rite Air bags

I've got a set to install but am having a hard time deciding where to mount not only the air compressor but the gauge and switch in the cab. There is very little room under the hood to mount the compressor. In the cab, I have the triple pillar mount and the cubby hole is filled with the heated seat controls. I want this install to look as stock as possible. One idea I have is the steering wheel pod with the switch relocated in the dash. Anyone have any other ideas? Pod on the dash is not an option.

TIA Phil

I would pick a spot on the frame to mount the compressor, probably just under the bed behind the driver side door.

No help on the gauges. Not familar with the newer trucks interiors.

You don't want that compressor in the cab....they're way noisy. Mine is on the frame rail, under the door...and it's still noisy.

My truck came with the system on it from the previous owner. He had installed the compressor between the passenger side battery and radiator, below the battery level. Whoever installed it fabricated some flat stock and mounted it on that. The gauge was mounted on the lower lip of the dash to the right of the gas pedal. Not sure how your truck's configuration differs from a 2nd gen.
