any gmc airbagged with rear leafs?

I have a 72 gmc with rear leafs ,does anyone have pics of a rear setup with airbags ? I am in the process of doing a rear flip kit and notch kit ,I have three inch drop spindles and 2 inch springs, soon to install front airbags just got my 20x8.5 rims with 45 series tires. i had a hell of a time installing the mccrappies flip kit.i had to go and buy new u bolts and hardware cause the hardware was crap.the nyloc nuts suck half way in they stripped out I had to have a full set of u bolts made to finish installing my flip kit.

yes that is the plan,i finished the flip kit and the c notch but now the rear is too low .I think my problem is the rear leafs had been de arched so now the tire is about 1 1/2 inches into the wheelwell so if I take the 1 inch spacer I had on the front I will still be 1 1/2 inches too tall in the front.i have a bag set up for the front and I hope that I can fix the problem with the air set up.my front is 3 inch drop spindles and two inch drop coil springs but with the 15 inch wheels it was rubbing on the lower control arm so installed a 1 inch rubber spacer .
