i seen a leaf to air ride conversion a long while back in an article about budget dragcars the man lopped most of the rearpart of the leafsprings off and used the front part as tractionarms he put the airbags on top of his rearaxle , he didnt use any airride stuff just some plastic airhose and two schradervalves once set he left it as it was

the front part of the leafspring alowed for some flex and he used the stock eeeh panhart bar for the side to side stuff , the only thing i kept thinking of was : i hope the front eyes of those leafsprings are strong enough or he be leaving the rearaxle on the startingline
