Okay, I am going to remove/replace the air compressor for the ride height. This is located UNDERNEATH DR's system. I need help and guidance on the safest way to drain it off so I can remove the box. Help greatly appreciated in advance !

Will do that tomorrow Dennis. Right now I have compressor unbolted from donor RoadPig but I cannot figure out how to unplug the backside of the unit from the air line that runs back to the airbags...:mad2:

Do you see an orange-coloured ring around the point where the air line enters the black-coloured canister (dryer) mounted to the pump? Use a flat-blade screwdriver or similar tool to push the ring in toward the dryer while pulling on the air line - that should get the line out.

Take outlet hose off of IC water pump and turn the pump on.
Let the pump pump it all out.
Refill.
Done.
