Bagged rear for a 68 c10

Is it possible to get air bags in the rear of a 68 lwb? I don't want anything drastic just a few inches would be fine. I think it'd be pretty neat to have air bags !

They are available.You need to determine exactly how low you want to go and how much you want to invest.You can run just airbags with a simple schrader valve or go upscale with an electronic control and onboard compressor.Once you go over 6 in,you will need a c-notch.Over 4 probably an adjustable panhard and shock relocators.

I'm not a baghead,but I'll be installing the ECE "bags in place of coils" in place of the 6" springs on there now. It's bag or c-notch so I can use the truck and those bags will allow that without bastardizing the frame. I also go back and forth about level or rake and I can have either with this set-up.
