I Have an 07 New body style 1500 silverado with 100,000 miles that I have just recently purchased last year. Right after I bought the truck I installed a leveling lift and bigger tires. I have been doing a lot of towing and hauling lately and I am convinced the leaf springs are somewhat warn out because I put hardly any weight in it and its been sagging to much. So I Just bought some firestone airbags and an air compressor system w/o a tank and just wondering if anybody has ever installed an air bag system with a compressor. there is a perfect spot under the hood where there is a 2nd battery tray option for my truck that is empty but I am concerned about weather the engine heat would effect the life of the compressor. Any idea would be very helpful thanks!

If anyone would like to check out the air bag system I bought here are the links

and the compressor system

I think under the hood would be just fine for the compressor, my father inlaw had a exhaust brake system put on his 05 3500 duramax and they mounted the compressor under the hood and it works just fine and it has been installed for 4 years, he also tied into this compressor for the supply air to his airbags with the control valve/switch/gauge mounted inside the center console between the two front seats. Hopefully this helps you.
