make sure there is a control for each corner and a gauge for each corner, this will ensure the front or rear is not T'd together which allows the air to travel from one side to another when cornering.....that sucks.

Make sure they used DOT lines.

Check the bags for any rub marks from suspension pieces, If there are any you will have to redo mounts and that sucks too.

Last......ask how many days the bags will stay full without leaking down. My Buick will lose about 10psi in a weeks time. You probably already guessed it.....Leaks suck too.
