Best Location for Mounting an Air Lift Compressor System

Question:
Can I mount the compressor in the engine compartment instead of under the truck?

Expert Reply:
Compressor systems like the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980EZ are a decent size. Even if you had the space to mount it in the engine compartment you would not want to do so for a few reasons.
The first reason is that the compressor system needs appropriate air flow, which it would not receive being mounted in the engine compartment. There is also the additional heat put off by the engine and the fact that you would then need to run the air lines the length of the vehicle to the air bags.
The best place to mount the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980EZ is going to be on the frame, typically towards the rear of the vehicle.

My question is. What fasteners do you use for mounting the controller mount and the air tank? As you are probably aware, the frame on my 2021 Ford F350 is a box frame and not a c channel frame. I was thinking of using 5/16" thread cutting hex head bolts. Let me know what you all use please?
