Default Looking for advice on air bag suspension

I am looking for the cheapest / easiest option to be able to lower my truck when needed for accessibility reasons for my wife and it would be nice for low clearance parkades aswell. I need a switch in the cab and there won't be any heavy loads put on them. Any advice or references or links would be much appreciated.
This is for a 2007 xlt super crew short box.

Thanks!

Why not static drop the truck? You can easily get drop the truck 2/4 or 3/5 and she could get it and out without an issue.


Bagging the truck is going to cost a good amount. I would guess if you were going to bag it you would be looking at just doing the front so it squats like a city bus? Not sure anyone makes a air strut for the front and if they do I would guess they aren't made for stock height, so you will need to drop the rear so aired up it sits level.


Where do you live? Someone local to you might be able to help you out too is why I ask.

Ridetech shock waves 100% bolt on front air strut, add to that a compressor, air tank, air lines, misc fittings, electronic valves and a switch box and installation... You're probably looking at $2k+

Hope you find something, here's a link to them
