That's because there was never an air bag there from new. Someone has added them.
You disconnect the airbag hose, jack up the body so the axle drops giving room to get a spanner in to the 2 bolts which hold the steel strip and therefore spring on the axle..
You then undo the shock and pull out the spring, tugging while simultaneously pushing down on the axle with one leg, or you can put a jack in between the axle and chassis , making sure not to overstretch the brake line.
You then fold the airbag so it can be removed from the spring, and ditto to replace it in the new spring. You do that by standing on it until it is flat and then quickly folding it.
Remember to put the hose back on as you offer up the spring to the top mount. It is sometimes necessary to get some new hose from Proven Products if the hose is too short, as often you have to cut the hose to undo it.

Sure can. They are an aftermarket addition anyway.
