Default Air Bag Suspension

Hi, I have a 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 that i am doing a 12 valve cummins swap on. Its mainly a show build but at the same time im looking to get some serious power out of it but does anyone know of air lift suspension i could fit on the truck. It has been done i just cant find a kit to do it. I see these kits thats meant for loads but thats not what im looking for. Im looking for bags to really lower and seriously lift the truck when i want. Ive seen it done just dont know how, if theres a kit for it or what.

The problem is the rear, Have to convert to a 4 link and get rid of the leaf springs.

Depending on how low you want to go you will have to do frame mods. There used to be a guy on another forum with one that would squat down to the ground.

Look for a good lift kit then. You can't just change the springs in front for that much lift.

Yeah, start going beyond 2 to 3 inches, and the price rises dramatically.
