for the front you would have to go ifs, no other choice really. how low are you trying to go? if you want to save money you could go mono-leaf in the rear, make a c-notch and mount the bags to the axle. this means no for link in hte rear, lift up higher than stock and drop much lower and ride like a normal air ride set-up. then theres always the s-10 chassis swap. thats what i did on mine no bags yet not enough money but that is the plan. hope i was of some help, if anymore questions let me know.

If I use my stock leafsprings and remove some to go mono will it cause any problems with the engine and rearend?I seen it done and read about useing 1 spring and putting the airbags on the axle.

You could leave the front shackles mounts in the rear springs and cut the springs completely off about 6 inches behind the axles, that is where you are going to mount the airbags. Then run a panhard bar to keep the diff in line. To get an idea look under a big rig.
