Front air shocks 2wd

Anyone know about putting a set of air shocks on the front? I know it’s not ideal. But my situation is a little different. My Toyota is a Rv and I have bags in the rear but I would love a set of air shocks for the front to smooth out the heavy ride and level it out a little more.

thought maybe someone has done it on there truck and could share a model number.

thank you

I would try adusting the torsion bars first. If it's not rusty, it's not very difficult and you can find write ups on how to do it. If they are already maxed out and saggy, I would then replace them.
As for air shocks, the front shock mounts aren't really meant to support the weight of the truck, even less so for the weight of an RV. So I wouldn't use them to put air shocks on to raise the front end. I would stick to a good replacement shock.
