They also have the option of a small on board air compressor which could come in handy for many uses. Worked great on the air mattress.
Edit: this was the system i installed.

Prii don't have leaf springs, I'm assuming you're talking about the coil springs on the gen3 and above?
I have a full computer controlled air suspension system on my other car and it's 100% the best modification I've ever done, the comfort, adjustability and load capacity are second to none and the handling is great too!
Unfortunately the system cost twice as much as the whole car so I can't really justify doing it again any time soon, I have been tossing up slowly fitting a much less automated system to the Prius, starting with the rear struts and a basic compressor, then upgrading to a tank, valves and front struts later on but I havnt been able to find the specs on the height range and load capacity of Gen2 Prius struts. They're mostly used for lowering the car right to the ground for style points.
