Default Air Bags for a 2" Shackle Drop?

I dropped my 11 F150 rear, now I need bags for occasional towing. My understanding is holes would need to be drilled for the Air Lift system. Is there a bolt on kit that requires no frame drilling?

If the holes need to drilled due to the 2" lowering shackle I think you would be able to get away with the stock holes.

I doubt they make a bolt in kit for a 2" drop simply for the minimal demand. Plenty of us tow with our lowerd trucks but most fab our own brackets or atleat modify the of the shelf stuff to work in our aplication.

Yeah, I didn't think 2" would make a big deal. I contacted one of our sponsors about bags and he said I'd need to drill into my frame for the Air Lift. I hope there are other resources that will either bolt up or maybe small mods to the kit. Not to my frame for a lousy 2" drop. If that ends up being so, I'll have a slightly used shackle drop for sale and live with the hiked up rear.
