Helper bag gauge location

70stroker · Aug 10, 2020

I put air lift helper bags on my lowered Dually. I have the compressor and gauge sitting on my bench in the shop. Trying to think of a nice place to put the gauge. Has anyone every installed the gauge in a auto meter a pillar pod? It’s the correct size. Just wasn’t sure if there would be enough room behind the pillar to run the air line and Electrical’s.

If you want to do that, you can get a 0-5VDC pressure transducer and gauge so you can just run wires to it?

Maybe something like this?

Awesome man. I wasn’t even familiar with these. So they have a “air sending unit” that the air line goes to and then converts it to electric readings?

My only two concerns

1 the air lift gauge has the buttons to air up and down.

2 the gauge you sent was 2 inch, auto meters pods I believe are 2 1/16.

There's all kinds of ones there, even ones with switches for up/down. Just scroll around that link or Google "Air Ride Gauges and Switches?

I bought a Firestone system and located the gauge on the "A" pillar and the switch next to the dash. I bought the gauge pod from autometer. There's plenty of room in the "A" pillar to run all the air lines and wiring for both the air gauge and the transmission temp gauge.
I went ahead and bought a pillar trim cover from a salvage yard so that i could have an extra one in case i ever had to put everything back to the factory look. I located the compressor on the frame rail under the passenger side door.
