While I am no authority, I do have a fair amount of experience w/air ride and air spring suspensions.
It seems to me that going to an aftermarket air-ride system on a deuce would severely limit the articulation of the rear axles. Keep in mind that air-ride systems use leveling valves to determine the amount of air pressure that is applied to each axle (though it is typically 1 valve per tandem). You could, in theory, install 1 leveling valve for each airbag, but then you would have to have a baseline for them to somehow know whether to inflate or deflate.
I'm not saying it's impossible, or even unreasonable, just that unless you want to sacrifice 6X6 action for a smooth highway ride, it may not be worth it.
BTW- I've been working for >5yrs in an 18-wheeler trailer repair facility.
