Well, if she's that close to 40... I'm sure its going to sag.

Maybe a gym membership and cut out the bon-bons...

Alright, that was a bad joke...

Anyway... air shocks are alright, they do get pretty bumpy though if you inflate them more than 40lbs or so. I'm sure inflating them more than that probably isn't the best thing for your suspension and nor your floor where your shocks mount, either.. I've seen my 72 Maverick develop a crack around the shock mount, I'm sure this had to be helped along by the air shock.

You could also take the route of sticking a set of shackles on it that would pick it up a bit, or just swap to a new set of leaf springs altogether...
