No it will not by design- You would have to disable the ride height valve- Not advisable.

Bigslim, I'm not suggesting that you do this, just stating my experience.


I don't like to admit this, but I have forgotten to flip the switch, to air up my bags, several times, and have driven several miles, before I realized "something didn't feel right". When it hit me, I said "yikes" and flipped the switch. So far, I haven't had any problems with my air bags. Does anyone think I have damaged them?

I dump my air bags to get into my garage all the time. It works great. I do not have a switch to keep mine deflated. So I just dump and then pull in before it airs up.

My Old Eagle has a fail safe in the system --- If I dump the air through the levelers which is the only way, as soon as I put it in gear the Alarms go off and it Airs up Automatically.
