Hey guys, Hellwig discontinued their air suspension line, so you won't be
able to buy their airbag kit anymore.HTH,

There was no drilling required on the Hellwig set. Other brands requiring
drilling the frame for mounting the bracket.
As for valve mounting, I mounted the two (2) air valves on my bumper, below
the license there are two nubbies, perfect for these valves.
A note to consider: These air bags require separate valves. I found that
they cannot be mounted on a single air valve, like air shocks can. What
happens, is that when the load shifts (in a turn) the air is simply
"squeezed" out of one and into the other. You could put a valve between the
two, to balance the pressure and close it off when you're using it - it
works for me. Otherwise you need to be certain that you have equal pressure
in both bags.
