I used that hole that's in that relay and mounted it using an allen bolt that's accessible with the mud guard off. It's hard to explain, but it's kind of high up inside the fender, pretty much the opposite side of the fender of what you took a pic of. I guess it'll be kind of a pain to get to if there's a fuse in that relay though.

DO NOT TWIST :0P

Leave enough slack in the air line to drop the shocks to drain the tranny

The shoulder bolts act as an axle. The bolts won't tighten all the way to the eyelets. It's to allow for movement.

I didn't cut the airline at all. Just make sure there is no interference.
