Its sad to say but yes this truck is not for the first time fabricator. There is no bolt on kit for these trucks  and there is almost no room in the front for an air bag but any experienced suspension fabricator should be able to handle it.

Yea it's going to be hard to put airbags in that truck... you're going to need the steering wheel and dash out of a newer Mazda and all the computer controls and sensors that go along with them. Should get you a pretty good discount on your insurance though...

yeah air bags arent easy the biggest problem ive found is the front suspension itll need completely reworked if its like my 87 it has torsion bars so they have to be removed which means you now need to do serious fab work just for the bag pockets if youre lookin for somethin a bit easier i sujjest a static drop their are plenty of spindles out their and the axle is already ontop of the springs so all you need is blocks to bring the back down
