Question Suspension question

As a recent purchaser of an 08 E350 Sport I have a question. Does my car have airmatic struts? I recently had a 4 wheel alignment and the technician said I'd need struts in the future. He was able to align the vehicle and didn't see any immediate concerns. He said I would notice the vehicle starting to sag in the future if there was a problem. I will say he didn't know for sure if I had airmatic or not. The car feels firm when bounced and drives great. Should I just not worry about it? This is my only concern at the moment and I can't rest until I know if I should worry about it or not. I can provide other vehicle information if needed to answer the question. Thanks for any responses!

As an added note the vehicle has 90K on the clock.

if you have the control button next to your gear that shows 2 arrows with a suspension. then you have airmatic.

Boy in retrospect that was a pretty dumb question. I should have figured that out myself. How about the struts? If it rides well, doesn't squeak or creak, shouldn't I just wait to replace them?

Thanks.
