Yes.
The Imperial and New Yorker (1990-1993) had it as an optional feature. I'm
not sure the Dynasty could be had with it though. The air ride system is
different from the load leveling system. The latter setup had simply air
shocks on the rear to compensaet for heavier loads in the back seat or
trunk. The automatic load leveling air ride system has "air springs".
These air bladders or air bags replace the conventional springs front AND
rear for not only automatic leveling on all wheels but also an improved
smooth ride due to the air ride.
The system with the air shocks is fairly simple but still more complex than
it needs to be IMO. This usually results in the whole system being scrapped
when it goes wrong. The air ride system is also too complex and often gets
scrapped. I'm not sure why every bus and truck manufacturer in Canada and
the USA makes reliable air ride suspension systems and yet automobile
manufacturers can't seem to get it right. IMO, they over-engineer the
systems and make them impossible to service because of either their
complexity or simply the cost of repair.

Phil, I know that the after market hot rod part community has the 4-wheel
air bag system, which I think is mainly for lowering the car when the car is
parked, in other words, for looks. Has Chrysler ever had a 4 wheel air bag
system? jay jones, garland, TX
