Default airbag lift kit?

ive been wondering this for a while, so i figured for the sake of discussion i'd pop the question:

so i use my truck daily for construction, and then I use the truck to haul motorcycles around too.

So as much as i'd love to raise my truck, it would make everything a pain in the @$$. is there a way to put bags in the rear that would raise and lower when i needed to? i mean of course there is, so i guess i mean is there a decently priced kit?

They should have air ride bags, i'd like to think...

Something I've thoguht about (if i wanted to make things fun), would to do a triangulated 4 link, and make cantilever shock mounts that use hydraulic rams (or even linear actuators, depending on strength/cost/holding capacity?) to adjust the ride height. Would just need an electric hydraulic pump and holding valve. and the 4 link prevents axle wrap and keeps pinion angle correct.

But front would be of issue because changing shock mount height changes more than height.
