air tank placement with dual gas tanks

I am looking into installing air bags on my '81 SWB. It has dual fuel tanks and I would like to keep both. Does anybody have airbags with this set up? If so where did you put the compressor and the tanks? Is one 5 gal tank enough? I don’t run a spare tire, will they both fit there, or will it hang to low?
Thanks HRH

I had two 5-gallon air tanks from ART mounted behind the axle. They were too low for my liking, even after cutting and raising the mounts (Last picture). I'll be installing the air tanks and compressors inside the bed soon.

I don't have dual tanks, but the set up on my 77 would work with dual tanks. My valves are mounted where the second tank would be, but my air tanks and compressor are all mounted at the rear....
