Re: How to lower my ride? Please help a newbie.

If you look at some of N2's aired out shots, his truck is low with using just a couple of leafs. So, reducing the spring pack will get you a bit lower. I'm not sure how much. But, maybe a bit lower than N2's, since you have a long bed. Like you said, the downfall of running less leafs is that it will reduce your load carrying capacity. But, that is rectified by installing the air springs. So, it's really not a issue. The biggest disadvantage is that you will have a bit of axle wrap. But, mounting the bag in front of the axle may help that issue slightly.
So, air over leaf should work out. I'd just imitate N2s setup. It looks like his setup uses the F9000s sleeve bags. Judging by your pics, it looks like you have the 9" - 9.5" space for the bag's ride height.
The compressor looks cool. Do you have the specs (duty cycle, cfms/psi) on it?
BTW, the engine sounds good.

It shoul be 100% duty cycle with 2,35 cfm and 200psi.
