Question 1951 Front air bag system question

Greetings,
I am a new member here and new to the F1 family. I recently purchased a 1951 F1 and want to begin doing some work on it. I would like to add an air bag system to the truck and found the rear to be a pretty simple setup but the front is a different story. Has anyone added an air bag system to the front and can help out with some directions? Or is there a system out on the market that I can purchase and install?

You would have to change to independent front suspension. As far as I know there is no way to bag a straight axle front end. You can get pretty low with the stock suspension, just no bags... Check my gallery, my truck sits at about 5 1/2 inches off the ground with a modified front straight axle.
