Set the vehicle @ ride height.
Make a 'dummy' air bag to use as a set-up tool. A piece of pipe or block of wood the correct dimension for the bag @ manufacturers recommended specs (air psi & height) will work for this.
One you have those two things done, you can get an idea of the placement required for the upper/lower brackets.
