Air suspension conversion?

Air suspension conversion?
I replaced my Air suspension bags when I purchased my Blackwood and everything was running good until yesterday I heard a whistle sound. I was driving by a construction site so I chalked it up to them.
Today the check suspension came on and the rear end was only of a 1/2 inch or so. So I crawled underneath and found the passenger side popped off the bottom seat. Its not cracked so I dunno how it happened but the tire rubbed a whole in the bag. Un real!
So now instead of getting a replacement bag for 399, I was wondering if anyone had converted their Blackwood to springs?
If so, does it ride noce and also where did you get it at?
Thanks

Yes it has leaf springs in it. I took the air bags out for now since one is ruined. I just wanted to get it set up for when I haul a boat. The air suspension would adjust the ride height so it wouldnt sink when you hook a load to it.
Thought coil springs would do the job as well since I dont want to keep sinking money into air bags. If this was the first time I would just replace it but twice in a years span is not my idea of financially feasible. lol
I know the 2003 F-150 supercab has the same chassis, just wasnt sure if there was an actual kit somewhere hiding in obscurity. haha
