Adam I do believe it can be done, as all that is to it, is replacing your normal springs with airbag "springs" NB they are not springs, its airbag suspension.
You will need, 4 airbag struts, preferably new as 2nd hand ones are usually always nearing the end of life, can be purchased from Neil at I believe close to 850 a piece and you need 4.
You will need an air compressor, preferably something of better quality than the current soarer compressors, to enable inflation and deflation at a quicker rate.
You will need airlines, obviously to run from the the compressor to the solenoids to the struts.
On that note you will need 4 solenoids for each airbag strut.
You will also need to acquire with the package a decent airbag suspension ECU.
All in all, I never had a brand new one installed, but judging by prices that I have seen in the market, I would say excluding labour, you're possibly looking at around 4.5K anywhere up to about 6K... maybe more.
I'm not sure if you would need to change the shockers as well, as far as I know they should remain the same, but if you do need to change them, another 1K out of pocket
Gives you a bit of a rough idea on what you're looking at.
Personally, I would just sell what you have at the moment, and invest in one with airbags already built in, just make sure the airbags are in good nick.
Even better, treat your self to a stunning UZZ32, active, with hydraulic suspension
