Again, adding ANYTHING that behaves like a spring (air shocks, in-coil air bladders, 4" air bellows on the radius arms, whatever) to suspension that is already considered too harsh will NOT improve your ride one bit, it will in fact worsen it. Air shocks in particular are the worst offenders, due to their relatively small air volume even a relatively small suspension up-travel when hitting a bump will dramatically raise their air pressure, which in turn stops the suspension from traveling up any further - you end up with a short-travel harsh suspesnion.
If you've ever played with air-over-oil motorcycle forks this is the same principle - your initial air pressure determines how stiff the fork will be on small bumps, and oil level (effectively changes air volume above it) determines how progressive compression will be (basically how far up she will travel on large bumps). For smooth ride you want both the static air pressure and the oil level as low as you can get them without bottoming the thing out when you run into something big. It's a balancing act of course, and larger vehicle suspension is no different.
Brad S. you can use air bellows on top of your leaves. They will go between the frame rails and plate that clamps the leaves down onto the axle, so you'll have to lose the bump stops. If the leaves end up sitting flat (no negative arch to them like they have from the factory) you will have enough clearance for 6"-7" (diameter) double-convoluted bellows without bottoming your axle. Or, if bottoming out is a concern, they do make air springs with built-in internal bump stops - which is what you really wanna run in these trucks, especially if they're not lifted. The non-bumpstop springs are very affordable, and they require very little in the ways of fabrication to install them. Still going to ride rough, but at least the ride height will be where you want it.
