If the compressor is running and the rear won't come up, you either have a leak in the lines, leak in the rear air struts or a weak compressor. Did the rearend go down overnight?....or after you got into the car to leave?

Most likely it'll be cheaper to do a coil spring conversion, as I'm not sure Ford still offers the rear struts and the aftermarket has decided to discontinue those parts as well.
