Just make sure you run all your lines/hoses, wiring, tank, compressor, etc. first. Install the air bags last, in case you don't finish you won't have to down your car.

Make sure all your fittings and valves and assembled as well, and most importantly wrap the Teflon at least 4-5times, or you'll end up like me and you have to go back and redo whatever is leaking. As of now I only have the passenger side bags leaking.

And when you're all said and done:
DROP IT LIKE ITS HAWT!!!!

Use proper pro teflon tape harder to find but it is pink.
Test fit and pressurize the system over night before shock install to check for leaks .
Make sure you have a metal water trap or you are asking for trouble.
