DIY Replacing Front Air Bags/Air Springs. Tips? Tricks?

I did a search before posting, but found nothing of any help. For my fellow DIY'rs out there, has anyone replaced their front Air Bags? Getting ready to do mine, and wondering if there are any tips...

There are air suspension bags and suspension helper bags, that add to springs.
All air bags usually are hold by 4 bolts (2 on each end) and have single air connector, so replacing them is not a problem, but access to front bags might be.
The life expectancy on Firestone bags is about 20 years.
Crucial part of the job is support the weight of vehicle.
