Billy why dont you restore your air suspension with new air struts and later on get an air suspension controler. You can control the stiffness and the height with the controller. It may be = to or a little more expensive than a coilover setup but with a lifetime warranty it is well worth it. http://www.arnottindustries.com/part...00__yid46.html .

if u only want it lowered a little bit then coilovers are super overkill for you. coilovers are mainly for those pepople who want to do some performance driving and want a very adjustable and tunable ride. a spring and shock combo sshould be more than enough for you. but the problem is that to get oen, u STILL have to get the mounting points from a non-air susp. LS since (i think) that they have different body mounts and etc...
