If you can't stuff the tire on one side, it won't articulate down on the other. Seems like air shocks would provide a great way to lift a truck, but a poor way to lift a truck while offroading (when it's really needed, unless you are driving over some seriously high curbs at the mall). Just my 2 cents...
My application in the South Jersey Pine Barrens may be unlike what you are facing. Your point is well taken. My wife however likes the mall curbs and advised against the air shock solution as well...
Just found out both Gabriel and Monroe dont make air shocks for the H3
so I guess its time to go cut some metal plates up!
