The owner's manual talks about it but it isn't mentioned on the sticker. The only thing is- it comes with the HD towing package only and for 2014 it is a mechanical system ...
Expeditions have always been built with a rear strut type suspension. Not leaf spring and not true coils springs. Think "coil over shock". It works well with the independent rear suspension and provides a comfortable ride.
I don't know that air spring were ever included in HD Trailer Tow Package. It does include a large radiator, an auxiliary transmission cooler, 7 pin Pollak connector and wiring for electric brakes.
People who have the air spring suspension have a love hate relationship with it. When it works, it is great. However, the system has a high failure rate, specially as it ages. Many switch to coil spring.
If you really want have additional lift in the back, you could buy the air spring shocks and install them and skip the whole auto-level part by running a hose with a Schrader valve on the end to an accessible point and air each spring manually. This would eliminate many the most common failures: connections, compressor, sensor and computer.
