I think because if you use the search feature you'd find the topic discussed. there's also a thread for this exact question in the special interests section/vip section. you generally get good response to questions asked unless it's been discussed. you'll also find pictures

Mines were mounted to the front lower control arms but i have to relocate them due to the new arms being installed. The original arms had a bolt that would hold the speed sensor line and another line that i don't know what it is right now but the new control arms don't have that bolt. So now i need to figure out where to remount the arms.

I'm just using the stainless braided lines around the wheel well area, because i didn't want debris hitting the air line in there.

i think posting up pics is not really going to help each individual as far as how to mount them.

because each person's air strut travel is different. thus mounting it the same way it may or may not have the perfect 2.75" travel the sensor need.

plus there are other factor such as wheel clearance too. work on stock wheels may not work on aftermarket.

you really don't want those sensor to move too little where is not accurate or move too much where you can break them.

those sensor need to be clear of everything in under all conditions.

if you understand fully how they work, you don't really need pics you should be able to figure it all out on your own.
