I'm ready to buy an ARB dual air compressor, but am undecided on what mount to pair it with. Do any of you have any experience with, or feedback on the pros and cons of the current options on the market? Did I miss any of them?
KR Off-Road Bracket

This seems to be the first one to market, has good reviews, and is probably the "safe" option.
JCR Off-Road Bracket

Looks pretty similar to the KR bracket, though the support mount is different. Possibly better, but w/ a somewhat more involved install process?
SDHQ Bracket
https://offroadalliance.com/SDHQ-AR...w1CtPfSl60FnUZW0l-Wm8ynIIXHUfnqgaAoclEALw_wcB
Mounts vertically rather than horizontally and seems to be more tucked away. Requires relocation of the ECU. I don't know of anyone using it, nor do I know what the install process is like.
Grimm Bracket

Trail Recon speaks highly of this option, though he also sells it FWIW. Seems to be most similar to the SDHQ bracket in mounting position/orientation, but with more of a cage around it.
Desert Does It Mount
https://desertdoesit.com/products/cargo-compressor-mount-2021-2022-ford-bronco
This one mounts in the rear cargo area, which can't hurt compressor longevity. On the other hand, it would be noisy in the cabin while in use. My biggest concern is running adequate wiring to it, since I suspect I'll need to go to the battery? Is the ARB-supplied wiring harness even long enough? It's the least expensive of the ones I've found, but that's not a high priority among my selection criteria.
This will be my first experience with on-board air compressor, so I appreciate any feedback from those of you with more knowledge and experience on this subject!
