The original air shockers in the 70's and 80's was munroe. I have pedders airbags in my trike. I had boss airbag but they leaked. Pedders ones, as used in Landcruisers have the rubber bag all round and udner. Boss have a sandwich plate at the bottom and leaked there. consider airbags. can pump up to 100psi if desired.

I played with airshocks years ago and would not recommend them.
They were noisy.
they often leak.
When you corner, the increased pressure on the outside shock is transferred to the inside shock, causing the body to roll out on the corner.
Not good, especially on something like a kombi!
I have had little to do with airbags, but have heard good things about them.
I would pursue this avenue.
