Front Air Bags for leveling

I have a 99 chev K3500 and I have Firstone Air Bags on the rear with an onboard air comp, I use the air bags to level the truck if it is slightly out of level.
I was thinking an air assist setup on the front would be nice for leveling.
I know Firestone make airshocks but they are not made for my truck.

    If you are trying to correct the nose down attitude unloaded, you can just crank up the torsion bars. You will have to have an alignment after you do. I did this on my 98GMC, it worked great.


    Then, you are off without the load.

    You might want to consider Timbren's instead. I don't think there is going to be enough room up front for airbags.
