airbag?

i've searched the best i can and have found no specific info regarding if what i want to do is even possible. i have a 1970 c-10, love the truck but its time to go lower.
i like my stock set up, 6 lug, 4 wheel non-power drum brakes, non-power steering, thats the way my grandpa bought the truck and i like that he didn't need all the bells and whistles.
so, can i get my truck low enough to lay frame without switching over to disc brakes, i.e. spindles. without a rack and pinion set up?? i just cant find anything on what im trying to do.
any help would be appriciated

Re: airbag?

I have good and bad news the good the rear will be easy a few kits out there will take care of it.The bad news the front will only lay a arms not frame with out a raised crossmember or a ton of work like pancaking the crossmember or zing the front half of the frame.I think you can keep the drum spindles if you don't use big wheels.With big wheels you will need drop spindles which are disc only i believe.
