Does any one know if this kit can be used as a rear bag kit? I don’t have any bags in the rear and want to bag the rear so I was wondering if I could use these since I don’t want to add a C notch or any link suspension, the reason is I’m kinda on the younger side and don’t have a lot of money to buy a link setup either bolt on or welded, and also don’t have a welder. My truck has lowering blocks and it might be on lowering leaf springs, I don’t really know about the rear since I bought it lowered already and will be on 17 in wheels since the 22s on it aren’t my style. any advice on having these is very much appreciated,

Yes, you can use it, it's a very old way of doing it, basically just a step above using air shocks. You will need to take the leaf spring apart so you have a monoleaf and blocks, which will lower the truck as much as possible, then the air kit will raise it back up for driving. Airlift may have 2 different kits, one for stock and one for lowered trucks, so be sure to get the one for a lowered truck. Also be aware that over time, the leaf spring is known to crack in the middle due to stress, one thing to keep an eye on.

Are you perhaps talking about the slam air kit? On the air lift website it says it won’t fit the s10 but I could be wrong because a couple of years ago it did say it would fit but I could be wrong

You're right, it looks like they don't offer the lowered truck kit any more. And it doesn't look like Firestone has it either. Not a big deal, you can make the other kit work the same.

There is one on the airlift website SlamAir that says it’s for half ton trucks that are lowered so would that work for an s10? There is also Air Lift Slam Air | For 5-6 inch Lowered Trucks which is the same product I think
