Air chuck placement

[Darkone]

As the title states I’ve been staring at this problem and not coming up with anything I like, so what’s some ideas. I have the rear kinda where I want it, located by the receiver hitch. The front Is where having problems with. For reference I have a factory front bumper and would like to stay away from mounting under the hood. Running lines isn’t an issue and the Compressor is mounted under the bed.

I do want front and rear ports or at least side to side, that way I can reach around my vehicle and others if necessary. I’ve mocked up mounts in the rear wheel wells but I’m just not completely sold on the idea. I live in the north east so salt, road spray, rust are problems I deal with. Any and all ideas would be great and pictures are a plus.

Not exactly stock but hope this helps.

3/8” push connect lines (1/4” ID) ARB quick connects because they have nice dust caps. Brass bulkhead connectors.

I haven't mounted my chucks on the Ram yet, but on my previous Jeeps I just used standard brass quick connects with a rubber gas-fitting cap on them. Worked great and kept the crap off.

I have the arb quick connects with the dust caps. I am hoping they will keep them free from debris and what not
@Rockcrawlindude i like your front mount and if I was running an AEV bumper that would be what I would do. Having the stick bumper though seems to be a limitation. I’ve seen mounts by power wagon guys with stock bumper but I don’t think they will work for a diesel.

I know you mentioned stock bumper but I was just sharing ideas of line routing and the bulkhead mounting.

If you don’t want to drill a hole you can certainly just have the quick connect hiding behind the bumper somewhere on a little bracket.

Where did you mount the Compressor under? I’m tired of having one take up bed space and this looks beautiful.

Mines up under the truck on the frame

I just mounted mine on the rear bumper and I just drilled a hole under the factory air ride blank plate. Cleaned up some of the bracing on the back of the bumper. And mounted mine right there works great so far. I got rid of the bulkhead fitting continuously leaked and just used the 90 into the quick connect.
