Get an A/C glove box insert and mount on the flat spot. That's how my Rancho system is going to be.... Tri-Pro Automotive (vendor) is having plastic one's made like this... PM him for more info...

do you have to use the ARB switchs? does the air line go to the switch pannel or is it just wiring? If you can use a diffrent switch I would use a dimmer switch on the floor you could then step on it to turn it off and on and you wouldnt have to lean over to the glove box when you need to use it.

Deffinetly put it where you can easily/quickly reach it.

On the trail you'll be turning it on/off alot.

Any mods to you truck? Or pretty stock and staying that way?

On the pc at home I have some pics of some aviation switches. I always thought they would be really cool looking and handy.

like these? I know they call these aviation guarded switches but I only have 4 of these out of the 75+ switches in my Blackhawk. We use them to protect from zeroing our radios and jettisoning our wing stores. All you do is slap them down to flip the switch down. I was thinking about using some in my son's room for the fan and light switch. he has a corsair ceiling fan...

These would would nicely for your application though, maybe mount them in the plastic dash or mock up an ash tray for them....
