air bag suspension

Has anyone ever used or heard of anybody using airbags instead of a suspension lift. If so, what hidden costs am I lookin at? Is there any advantage or disadvantage of using them instead of a suspension lift?

Yeah I would probably do the work myself. It's really just an everyday driver but it will see some action off the pavement. I don't really want to 4 wheel it all that much but I intend to sling some mud a few times a month.

I would look into a coil over setup with a 4 link. the airbags would be a drag in mud i would think.
