ohh sweet. hey could you photograph where you mount the sensors?
or we can try to work together to figure out best location. i myself am a bit scared of where to mount these things. So i can actually go ahead and install the bags and run the airlines and be able to air up fine without the sensors at all just so the car can move around the garage?

you can mount them to the LCA but be sure that you don't over extend the arms. The other thing is that you will need to weld the end of the sensor arm the LCA to be safe. You can air and diving the car without the sensors install, you just have to do everything manually.

Welcomes

I can see why you said you hear a lot of vibrations from the compressors. You are using two brackets to the top deck. I was thinking of doing that as well and thought maybe just a single center mount would be enough to be an assist bracket so that the vibration doesnt transfer over as much.

The vibration is pretty much gone now since I dynamat the support bar and I replaced the rubber isolator on the compressors since they were kinda worn out
