On the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs - Rear Kit, part # F4107, the inflation valves need to be installed in a protected area that is easily accessible. You might check inside the trunk area to see if there is a place where the inflation valve can be installed. You will need to drill a 5/16 inch hole for the inflation valve. If you drill a hole in the trunk area I would recommend to use a sealer when installing the valve to keep exhaust fumes and debris from entering the trunk area.

If you wanted to control the air springs from the inside of your vehicle you could use the Firestone Level Command II - Single-Gauge w/ Standard-Duty Compressor - Single Function, part # F2158. This electric control system can inflate or deflate your air springs with a flick of the switch.

I am including links to the installation instructions on the air springs and the Air Command system.
