As XXL stated it can be done on the thrifty side but not as cheap as aftermarket drop coils. Butttttttt, w/drop coils you can't compensate for a load so they aren't as cost effective as bags. 2 bags, DOT airline, & valves can be done for less than 300$. I ran this set-up on my beater for the first 2 yrs I had it. Now that I've gotten my 18ft car trailer & lift/deflate more often I bought a tank/compressor/guage kit to make it easier to use them.
