Chevy 3100 -49 air suspension problem

I bought a Chevy 3100 -49, it has not arrived yet for me.
The purpose would be to install air suspension,the vehicle is currently at both ends of the leaf springs (These are apparently the original?).
The car does not have power steering, but the front is disc brakes.
Please tell me what would be the smarter the most sensible solution,I would like to in the car when the air suspension and power steering and front disc brakes at least.What would be a good front end and a rear end (I mean what you would have an "easy" to install and are affordable and where they could buy).
What would you recommend for air suspension and is it worthwhile buy a mustang 2 front end for example, which already includes air bags?
So I live in europe so here are parts may not be, so I would like to know good places where I could get parts ordered (my English is not very good so I hope you understand me...).I am grateful for all the help and all are welcome because I myself did not have any experience with pick-up!

Did not anyone able to give me tips what would be the wisest of the front end and back end?
I would like that the car would land "right in the ground",tire size I dreamed of 20 "(including the front end).
For example, the front end would allow me to work there:

And if anyone this?

Whether this was a good chassis for controlling?

Let me know whether it would be wiser in those parts of the "common sense" or whether some other better options?

It all depends on your budget and what you aim for, are you aiming for putting the frame on the ground...then you have to install a kickup in the rear of the frame
I have an -57 Panel Truck and plan to use Jaguar front IFS and rear IRS(independent front/rear suspension) and then use an airride system fitted to that...
The Jag has a lot of different widht on its axels, mine is from an XJS 6 and its 61" wide
And here in Sweden you can pickup an old Jag for close to nothing...
