    No there is not company that makes a "merc kit," but I wish there were such a thing. It does have leafs, it has 4 so far, and the front has cut coils with gas shocks but not low enough, or no smooth enough yet so time for an air system. I should be ok with one compressor right, I don't mind the 3-5 second delay.

    i have air ride on my 66 coupe deville and im runing 1 viair 450 comp. and a 5 gallon tank and i get full lift when the tank is full. but it takes about 2 to 3 min to re fill the tank. there are companies out that make an engine drivin comp. that will fill 5 gallons of air from 0 to 145 psi in 1 to 2 min. and after you lift your car refill time is 30 sec to a min hope this info helps
