I've got my tank, compressor and valves for the rear in the fron of the bed under the false floor. Then I have the valves for the front under the cab close to the frame. I like the looks of having everything hidden. I like the idea of putting everything under the bed as well. the only thing that scared me about that is if the compressor quits and the truck is on the ground. With my raised floor I can simply remove it and get to the tank and the compressor.

i use a relay that you can get at any autoparts store for fog lights. they hold 30 amps each so i use one for each compressore to be safe. there are 4 termanals for them one ground, one switch so you can easily turn it on then a power in and one power out that goes the the compressor. realy simple and they last longer than solenoids cause relays are ment to stay on for a long time.

yes, tho's are check valves..there not a must.. but you can break an airline or blow a bag and not loose tank pressure or pressure on any other corner..
