Is it okay to drive my vehicle with the air suspension off?

Unfortunately no it will slowly leak out and the ride height of the car will become very low. What problem are you having?

Yep this is common, what happens most of the time is the rear shocks leak. Here are guides to help you change them out. You can get new shocks on Amazon or RockAuto.com

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken

No, this has to do with the rear shocks only. If you have different problems please start a new question and please resolve this one.
