I've had Monroe air shocks on my 945T for about 4 years -- I highly recommend them... and they are commonly available online.

I was also a little concerned about the shocks & mounts carrying weight they are not designed for, but I've had no problems. It's amazing how well they also help cornering when you're not loaded or towing. They simply eliminate roll/sway in the rear. It makes the car feel very tight.

The one thing I recommend with any kind of air assist suspension is to have separate air supply lines for the left and right. If you do not, then when you corner, the air assist system is adding roll/sway since the air from the side that's being compressed is lifting the opposite side even more.
