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 struts (about $800) 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.
