Air Bag Install Questions....(plus teaser pic)

Ok I have searched over and over, and I understand the big picture of the install, but I have a few specific questions as it relates to what parts I have and what I am doing.

1) Where exactly is everyone mounting their tanks under the bed. I looked today, and I want it under the bed. Is everyone putting them on the side of the frame rail by the cab? I cant put it towards the rear because my fuel tank is back there.

2) I suppose the compressor can go right next to the tank along the frame rail as well?

3) Front install: When I take the spindle and spring out from the front, how does the upper mounting plate go on the x-member? Do I just use the plate as a template and then mark and drill holes and then secure with nut/bolt? Seems pretty easy, just want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row when I get started. I am using plates on the bottom a-arm as well, Is that process the same, use the plate as a template and then mark and drill holes in the lowers as well? Also, once the plates are done and the bag installed, how and where do you run the lines to/through to get them to the paddle valve?

4) Rear install: I noticed that my rear coils are held on by two bolts, one through the trailing arm, and one through the frame. Should I have two bolts holding rear bags? And again, where do ya'll route the lines to/through?

5) Once the bags, tank and compressor are installed, how are ya'll wiring the compressor up? Direct to the battery, fuse box?

Here's a pic with the Boss 338's installed. Just waiting to bag it now.......
