Here is another idea for you guys. I had mine mounted here and I will do again once I get time to put the compressor back in.

Pull the drivers side headlight and your fender vent and look in the cavity next to the fender. You will be amazed at the amount of space in there. My 450 will be a bit different cause it doesn't have the hard plastic wheel wells but mount it to the wheel well and leave clearance from the fender and your golden.

I have all of my HID ballasts in here...I may be able to get more in there, good idea!

That is exactly where I mounted mine also. On top of the spare. Works perfect.

Passenger side is not as good because of the intake system.

how did you sheal the intake filter form warter and such above the trre?

it's protected pretty well up their specially on mine with an 8 inch lift

I do remember re aiming the intake fitting so it would point down

Passenger side frame rail. 90 degree drill. 4 holes. Solid as a rock.
Larger 1/2" line and valve. Way louder and more responsive for the horns. Also put a Air Chuck inline so I can fill up tires.
Probably not the best location for running to air bags but fits perfect.

What brand of air compressor are you running?

How do these mounts handle driving through the mud a lot? I would like to get something mounted underneath, but afraid the mud and water would screw them up

The compressor in the drivers fender will not get a drop on it. Mine was there for months in the winter and still looks brand new.
