I installed a 7 pin round harness so I drilled a hole in the mounting bracket for that and stuck the valve through, just like in the photo below.

However I used a T for the hoses so I've only got one valve.

Any particular reason why you guys are all using a 2 valve set-up? Is it just so if one bag starts leaking you know which one it is?

It allows each bag to have their own air pressure. That way when you are in a turn and the weight of the vehicle is on one side or the other, it does not push all the air into the higher side bag creating uneven air pressure.

Clean install. Thanks for the pic.
