Question adjustable ride hight?

hey guys,
im pretty new on here but you guys already have helped me out. so heres my next question. Im gonna do an SAS on my 86 f/s bronco, its gettin a d60 under the front and a sterling 10.25 under the back (already have the axles) and 39's. I'm planning on fabing some sort of 3 or 4 link suspension. My truck is a mostly offroad machine, with occasional short street drives.
so my question is what kind of setup could i build that would give me adjustable ride hight (preferably from inside the cab). People have told me that i could use a 4link with airbags, hydrolics, or nitrogen shocks. Im not very familiar with any of these systems, ive tryed searching this site lots but all i can come up with are a couple 4links with coilovers, are any coilovers adjustable? i like the idea of airbags because i already have an onboard air system. if there are any adjustable systems like this, would they be strong enough to handle my heavy truck (6500lbs+) and my beefy axles and tires?
thanks

If you already have air onboard I'd go with the bags. A company called Kelderman Air Ride makes systems for the newer Dodge trucks maybe they can help you out.
