For mounting the Air Lift Quick Shot compressor System on your 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 4WD that has a Short Bed my recommendations would be to mount it directly to the vehicle frame. While keeping in mind that you will want to make sure that both the compressor, air tank, and lines are kept away from any hot elements (like the exhaust) and away from any moving parts.

The instructions for this kit do indicate some specifics in regards to mounting the compressor, and that is should be mounted in a dry and protected area of the vehicle. This is due to the fact that excessive moisture can damage the compressor and can cause system failure. Additionally if you choose to mount the compressor outside the vehicle, the compressor body must be shielded from direct splash and the air intake should be routed inside the cab of your truck.

It is also noted that the compressor should not be mounted under the hood, or in high heat environments, but the compressor can be mounted in any position. However please make sure to orient the compressor intake filter so that all moisture can easily drain.

I have linked the instructions for this product for your reference.
