There would be a nipple somewhere in the trunk, the shocks would have a line running into them with a "nut" to tighten it in.

Stand down. Let the air out. Air shocks act like regular shocks when there's no air in them.

Follow the line to it's end and let the air out of the valve.

Zero. Unless elephants were living in it. In that case you're screwed.

i have a little air valve (like a tire) in my trunk. i just push the pin in, and i am riding low. but the ride is CRAP and i bottom out on a lot of roads out here, so i keep it aired up bout half way. i have no idea when mine were installed, but they seem ok. i could grab pics if you stil want em
