Default Swapping TO air suspension???

I've been looking through the forum to see if anyone's swapped their non air suspension to air on these ls's, but can only find from air to non. Anyway I was at the local pick n pull today and found a ls with air sus all in tact I was wondering what would I need to grab off it to make my car air equipped???? Any help would be appreciated

the reason noboy's done it is because the OEM air breaks. that car you saw likely has one or more blown bags, and if it doesnt, it will likely blow one soon after you swap it in.

plus to get it done like the factory setup you need a mile of wiring, 4-6 ECUs/valves, a compressor/drier, oem ride height senders, and more.

not remotely worth it.

Ok that's pretty much what I was wondering looks like I'll keep saving for some coil overs

It would be infinitely simpler to just buy an aftermarket airbag kit.
