I tried a couple different techniques, and decided I'd spent enough time on it. Lost one of them on the highway, and threw the rest in the garbage.
Problem solved.

No real updates here... Just wanted to throw up some pictures. I've been driving my truck every day - a little over 600 miles on it since the air ride install. I love it!
I need to reinstall the windshield trim... And do the 4-link. And get some shocks on it.
But I am already thinking about selling it... I have the itch for another project. Another VW project. A bus, perhaps.

It's bouncy. Like... a truck on air bags with no shocks! LOL, I don't think there's any other way to describe it. On smooth roads, its no problem. But if the highway gets rough, things get a little squirrely at 65 MPH. Around town is no big deal.
I have all the shock mounts, just need to take some measurements and go pick up some shocks.
Not a top priority at the moment... Especially if I decide to sell the damn thing. Then again, maybe it would sell a bit quicker with the 4-link and some shocks.
