Does anyone have air lift airbags with load controller II installed in their trucks? If so where did you put the switch/gauge?
I'll be installing both this weekend and don’t have any clue where I should put the gauge.
I have the firestone airbags w/ the compressor and it should be about the same size. I installed mine under the dash below the steering wheel and it is perfect there.

Thanks for the pictures; I think I will be putting it into the bottom of my center console. But my concern now is where to put the air compressor. According to the user manual the compressor is NOT moisture & splash resistant, but NOT WATER PROOF. I'm guessing that the first not has to be a typo, but I’m not sure. I did some searching and found this thread
I mounted mine under the rear seat behind my sub box. The firestone compressor stated that you have to be within 12 to 16 inches or something like that from the battery or power source. I used my the power line for my amps to power the compressor. I have 4 guage to my amps and this worked out well for me. Plus now the compressor is inside the cab and no worries about the elements. Plus this way I only had to put one air line through the firewall.

I have Airlift and my compressor is on the "hump" under and in back of the drivers side passenger seat.. Lift up the back seet and you will know where I mean.
As for the gage I installed this in the center console at the back with the gage and switch pod attached to the top and back of the box.
Sorry no pictures because I am in Hong Kong/ China for another week or 2.

My wife thinks I spend to much on my truck!! My Train Horn <-- Listen
I installed the ride rite system- well half of it- The compressor is in mounted behind the seat in the crew and the switch gauge I mounted in the glove box. My only problem is that I have the truck lowered 2" deaver lowering springs and I didn't know the bags wouldn't fit on a lowered application (totally my fault) so I'm leaving the compressor in - working on an alternative for the bag brackets. They are just too tall- I could mount them but they would defeat the purpose of having the truck lowered. I tow a 12x7 enclosed trailer with my bikes so I for now I'm running air shocks in the rear to overcome the squatting.
