Airbag conversion kit

I have seen some astro vans and many other types of vehicles with airbag suspensions. I really like the idea. Does anyone know of a kit to convert the aerostar or any airbags that will work on the front and back. Also, am I correct in assuming that the airbag goes in place of the spring? Prices would be great too. Thanks a lot.

From what I have read here, People opt for Air shocks, because the bags "squeak" and don't hold for long on this heavy beast. I would do a search to find out more.

I have had the Air Lift 1000 kit in my 1994 Shirty since 1998 with absolutly no problems. I do have the on board compressor too. no squeks, no leaks and driven almost daily. I tow a 3500 trailer atleast once a month, that's the reason for the bags. Much nicer ride that air shocks.

Just be aware that Air Shocks will break the mounts if the springs are gone. These are not a cheap mans lift kit.
