No air ride here, yet.
But I just installed my compressor, tank, solenoid and regulator on the frame under the passenger side, between the running boards and the frame.
The horn is up front and the air chuck on the back, under the bumper.

I had an air horn, air tool system on my old F250 which had a long 5 gallon tank. Unfortunately, I didn't have the same space I needed to use the old air tank on my new F150 I salvaged the Viair compressor and solenoid from the old system and that's all I could transfer over to the F150.
I'm a "no drill" kinda guy when it comes attaching anything to the frame so I fabricated brackets that would support the tank, regulator, solenoid and compressor using existing holes in the box frame. I ordred a smaller 1.7 gallon tank that would fit where I wanted and had the ports on the ends.
Not wired or plumbed up yet but here is the equipment fabricated and mounted;

I cut down a piece of aluminum big enough to hold the components. Then mounted that vertically from the front box crossmember on the left side. Right behind the cab, up high and protected.
