Their was an S class at a shop I hang out at. They manage to bypass the valve block and pump and put separate equipment in. In the Ash tray console they had manual switches for each wheel to raise and lower. It was.... Interesting to see but it did have the original airmatic struts...

That being said, once the air lines are disconnected from each strut, you can then go with any type of air management system, such as, AirRide brand etc...
The stock airmatic struts have a huge amount of range, they can compress very short and be extended (probably over extented) to 4 inches higher than the stock height. But they were not designed to be inflated and deflated over this large range continuously.
That being said, you can see my solution if want:

Mine is not perfect either, but allows me to adjust the height on the fly.

I so wish someone would come out with a manual control
System that lets us use all the factory equipment and manual switches for the full range of adjustment to slam the car
