Default Ways to tell if LS400/430 has air suspension by VIN?

Hey guys, this is my first post and I'm sure it's one you've heard before, but I searched "how to air suspension" and then just "air suspension", both turning up no results.

Weird...

Anyways, I'm in the market for a 400/430 and since most dealers don't seem to know or care if it has the factory sir suspension I was just wondering if there were any way of telling without seeing the car in person? Maybe a distinctive character in the VIN or something?

Please help.

one easy way is to look next to the shifter and see if theres the height button.
