Lowering a 4x4 Excursion

I just purchased an '05 Excursion Limited 4x4 and am interested in lowering it. Nothing extreme, just a few inches to give it some attitude. I was wondering if anybody knows of a kit? Preferrably air ride.

I am aiming for the sport-truck look, but I need the 4x4 for winter driving and pulling my snowmobile trailer. That is why I would like to go with air ride, so I can get up to roughly stock height when it is needed.

Thanks for your help, I talked to the owner there at Kelderman and it sounds like a solid system.
