Air Shocks Are Like 1988.
'nuff Said, But I Will Explain. Air Shocks Still Need A Spring To Set Ride "quality". Pretty Much These Are What You Would Find On An Old School Caddy. Very Old Tech, Either Way They Will Not Work On The Maxima Suspension.
Air Bag Bellows Will Also Not Work, You Need A Shock To Fit In Place To Stabilize The Supension, No Room On The Maxima To Fit Both Seppt.
Air Struts Are A Stock Strrut With A Hollow( Read Expensive) Air Bag Bellow In Place Of The Spring. These Work, But You Cant Make It Any Lower Than The Lowest Point On The Strut.
Air Cylinders Are Also An Option, More Custom Work, Wont Just Bolt Up, But Can Go Lower.
Then You Have Hydraulics, Not For The Faint Hearted, Must Be Over 52 Inches To Ride And No Pregnant Women. Seriously, You Need Some Experience Before Going Here.
Btw, My Baby Is Inca Gold Pearl.
