I have a 00' silverado on baggs. When parked overnight or for a long period of time the tail end loses air and eventually hits the ground. My compressor isnt kicking on either. If you can help with this i'd appreciate it. Thanks.  
Now thats lower than low!!

Check for leaks.... air line, fittings, bags, valves, etc.

Compressor never kicks on??? Or just when the truck is sitting? Did you use an ignition wire to power the relay? If so the compressor won’t kick on unless the truck is running.

No theres no ignition wire to the compressor. It used to kick on when it got bellow a certain pressure wheather the truck was on or off and now it doesnt. Is there a special way to check for leaks or do i just listen for air and get the fittings wet and look for bubbles?

Here is a link to a pressure switch so you can see what it looks like...it is probably screwed into the tank

so wait, has the compressor kicked on lately? You say it kicks on below a certain pressure, but now it doesn't. You should be pretty out of air by now if it's not working, which means you'll have no leaks to check for cuz you'll have no air. hahah update us!! ;-)

No the compressor kicks on just not as often as it used to. I used to have to pull the fuses out of it when it sat overnight so it didnt drain my battery from running all night and now it only kicks on when I drop and lower my truck a couple times. And when I leave my truck sitting level over night I wake up to the ass end slammed to the ground.

is the rear controlled together? (one lift and dump)? Or are the corners separate? Do you have gauges?

MY problem isn't fixed hahaha....truck goes to 0 zip napa psi when left for a few hours...she started doing this at FFF. I'm guessing it's a check valve or quick release fitting... to lose air THAT fast from tank and all...it's something like that that just must get stuck funny. I keep waiting for her to just get over it and start holding air again...which...sometimes DOES happen. Maybe I'll bang around with a hammer tonight.
