Retrofit OEM rear air suspension

Hello all

I was wondering if anyone retrofitted the Oem rear air suspension to their spring(all 4 corners).
I've heard of people going from the air suspension setup to the spring setup but can't find anything on the other way around.

If so, besides the air bellows, compressor, tubing, module , what else would be needed?
Has anyone done this?
Thank you in advance

All 4 corners was regarding the spring setup
Regardless if I wrote it incorrectly for anyone I apologize, I was under the impression everyone knew it was only the rear for airbags.

The bag hardware is pretty easy. I’d be checking to see if the compressor is pre-wired. If it isn’t it’s prolly going to be a bear. Even swapping seats on this chassis is a pain from a wiring/coding standpoint

not worth the hassle. Agree with tlow98, Coding/wiring would be a royal pita.
