Air bag suspension is very easy to do on trailing arm and a arm suspension.just take your coil sprigs out of the back and bolt your cups and bags in.front you will need to bolt a upper plate in and a lower cup and presto.

if your talking about laying frame there is a lot to consider.here is a pic of my truck on bags with 2" drop spindles and no notch.

Re: Anyone know any shops in the NO/Gulf Coast area that does bags?
Most pro shops are going to charge you a similar amount to allow your frame to lay. Baby steps.... Do the bags & mild drop now (yourself) & maybe the DM later.

no offense, but if you can't afford doing it the drop member / raised cross member way then you're not gonna be able to afford to pay a custom shop to do it their way.

Re: Anyone know any shops in the NO/Gulf Coast area that does bags?
shane is correct, buy the porter stuff once and be done with it. i used several shops here in houston and spent top dollar and still was not happy. you are going pay about the same amount of money on porter parts and then you can brag to your buddys that you built it.
