Re: Firestone airbag gauge location

If you have the standard guages for your truck, you could get a larger pod and put in with those. I ordered a new guage to match all of the others. Put the switch in the dash next to the 4x4 switch.

Re: Firestone airbag gauge location

I had mine installed on the bottom of the dash as close to the center as they could get. Right up next to the hump. I thought maybe it would be too close to my leg when using the accelerator. But it really is completly out of the way, and it looks very good there.

Re: Firestone airbag gauge location

I have not finished the install yet but I have a three gauge under dash pod with left bag, tank and right bag gauges. The flipper switches to adjust bag pressure are located in the dash. Look here.

Re: Firestone airbag gauge location

I wonder would it fit between the emergence brake pedal and the hood release
