If you mean Air adjustable shocks you might try Gabriel [Gabreil?] they make or at least made air shocks at one time. Rancho RS9000s come with an optional in cab adjuster to choose between 6 settings.

If you mean air bags there are kits available but I don't know any particular mfgs. [old man emu maybe?]

Other then that if you are looking for one of those lowrider hop-ing type set-ups you might want to search the lowrider websites I'm sure there is a kit that will work.
Hope this helped Aviator

Is it for a 4x4 with a suspension lift or no lift? Front or rear?

Here's one thread about air shocks, the posts I made in there are on my 93 4x4 ext-cab with a 4" lift kit. A stock truck will take a shorter shock than mine. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/air-shocks-27671/

Probably different lenghts between 2wd and 4wd, but I'm just guessing. What I did was measure my (then current) shock, extended and compressed lenght. Then look in the back of the Monroe shock catalog at Sears for the specs of an air shock that matchs what you have now. Some will have loop ends on both ends and some will have a post end or 2 so look at that too. I'd give you the model number of mine but they would be too long for a stock truck. My shocks were actually sold for a 89 Dodge Ramcharger 4x4 pickup IIRC.
