as Dave pointed out:  Air Lift 60789 (AirLift 1000 units)

If you follow http://www.airliftcompany.com/online_catalog.html and
look up by vehicle (Volkswagen-year 1988-vanagon) you can also find a
setup for an onboard "leveling compressor kit" (if I recall it some
people at the time of the group purchase (spring 2001) went with this
setup) and "suspension load leveling kit".
