I can't help you with the air shocks, but the Air Compressor is directly underneath the air filter box. You need to remove the box and then there are 3 bolts that you'll need to take off from under the car in order to remove the air compressor.

With the Highjackers I used to use in my towing vehicles I had the same problem till I got good at the installation. Had to put air shocks in three different tow vehicles over the years.

The air lines cannot be fully inserted into the port on the shock or it will prevent air from passing that joint.

I can't remember if that rule applies to the "T" filler valve or not, but it wont hurt to back the lines out a bit.

Secondly, don't over-tighten the plastic nut that holds the airline to the port, it really only needs to be a bit past hand tight.

Every installation I've done, I used two of the small "O" rings on each line to make sure they dont leak, although that dosn't seem to be your problem at this stage of the game.

Inspect the lines for damage rather than just loosening them and backing them out a bit. Pull them out, check them, then put them back as described.

Overtightening can squeeze the line closed, and I can't remember why fully inserting the lines blocks the air flow.
