No air bag kits here, but is the front of the cab to tall or is it wanting to hit just at the back by the 3rd brake light? If it is just at the back, there are a couple of 1" spacers under the leaf springs that you can take out to lower the rear to match the front. Instead of installing a leveling kit to raise the front to match the back, lots of folks just remove a spacer or two in the rear to lower the back to match the front. Easy to do.

Airbags are for supporting extra weight if your truck is sagging you increase air pressure to return to stock height for weight transfer and balance. Airbags to lower a 3/4 ton would take extensive fabrication rear end remove leafs from leafpack or scrap leafs and go with 5 link rear end front you could make a custom airbag seat and eliminate front coil but all in all your taking many thousands You might just want to build a bigger garage

Your air bag suspension kit is available, it will run you about $5,000.00. It is all bolt on stuff, give them a call.

Funny you should ask. I had the same problem and my truck didn't fit the garage door opening. but it did fit the garage opening,...get the distinction?? I measured the garage opening as if the door wasn't there and it fit. So I called the fast and friendly overhead door folks and they made an adjustment that allows my door to sit above the opening itself inside the garage and VOILA!!! My truck has a home. Try it.
