Can you Air-Ride an all-leaf suspension? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What I mean is, can you replace an all-leaf suspension with air ride for 4wd applications? maybe by using a 4-link or something? and the air could make the ride height adjustable? say from stock up to a 4" lift or so? without leaf springs?

i guess it could seriously jack with steering, so would it be possible if it wasn't variable height? say, if it was just a static 4" lift?
