Airbags...Suspension that is 200

Does anyone know anything about Airbag suspension and the 240? I would love to drop my 240, but am not sure I want to keep it droped all the time. I know I cna swap springs in and out, but it's a huge hassle.

I'm not sure how airbags would work with the front struts, as they normally replace just the springs.

Any suggestions would rock.

There are bags that mount like a strut. Blown240 had them on his 244 for a while (which BTW, is for sale at $2200).

Unless you're going to do some fabrication, the fronts will not drop down to the ground due to the design. The rears will not drop down that far either, but shortened torque/panhard rods and some hammering resolves that aspect.
