Please excuse the "off piste😉" comment.  I had a new BX Diesel years ago.  Possibly the most comfortable suspension I've had on a car.

GS had the same suspension, oleopneumatic I think they called it, they sold a similar setup to Rolls Royce, without the self leveling if memory serves me. The suspension was superb, you could remove a wheel without a jack using the suspension and drive on 3 wheels without a problem, so long as it wasn't one of the driven wheels of course. They also did suspension which used fish oil, stunk like hell. Both systems used a pump and spheres at about a million psi, bit of a bugger if it sprung a leak.

There's a good writeup in Wiki for anyone remotely interested.
