Question:

I have a 2020 f350 where would you mount the compressor to keep water and debris from the air pick up on the compressor

Our installation techs typically mount the compressor from a system like the Air Command II Compressor System w F3 Wireless Remote, Xtreme Duty Compressor, Tank, Hose - Dual # F2592 on the frame rails of the truck. These systems are designed to withstand the elements and the frame rail keeps enough debris from the vents that it won't affect the operation of it as long as you're not taking the truck through heavy mud and not cleaning it off.

A compressor kit like the Air Lift QuickShot Compressor System for Air Springs - Support Line and Reserve Tank - Dual Path # AL25572 is a great compliment to the Ride Rite # F35FV you were looking at for your 2020 F-350 and the in cab gauge and controls provide you with a convenient solution so that you'll never have to get out of the truck to inflate the bags; I also really like that it comes with the supplemental air tank and air chuck so you can air up tires and run small air tools from this system.

I've linked our installation video of this system on a 2019 F-350 so you can see where we positioned everything and can be used as a guide for installing any of our available compressor systems, since the 2019 and 2020 frames will be mostly the same.
