Can a 72 be bagged?

Can a 72 blazer 4x4 be converted to 2wd and then bagged? I think the rear would have to be leafs or is it possible to put trailing arms on it? Can a leaf setup be bagged?

wow, going from up to down! totally opposites. but anyways, I would think that just a couple of brakets would be all that would have to be messed around with for the leaf springs. not exactly sure on anything else, I kinda wondered the same a few weeks ago intell I wondered why I was thinking so hard about it, when i realized that my truck is coiled.
On a positive note, anything is possible with the correct designing and imagination.

Yep you could do it I have been thinking of lowering my k-5 but am gonna wait to see if I can find a 2wd... Once you get the 2wd crossmember bolted in all you would have to do is get a air ride kit for a truck with coil's front and leaf rear should not be too hard...
