Front air suspension down

I have a 2005 Eddie Bauer Expedition 4x4 and I just got a call from my wife, she accidentally hit a high curb when parking thinking it was in park and now the front suspension is way down. Is this a potential simple fix or do I need to have it towed to dealership?

Thanks

She might've popped one of the front air bags, or ruptured an air line. You're going to have to look for one or the other, or bring it to someone that can.

Thanks alloro! It appears that one of the locking tabs on the dryer that screws into the pump broke off and now it comes out under pressure. Also, it seems that the pump stopped running, is there a reset or relay I should focus on? I tried turning the suspension switch off and on which didn't do anything.

Thanks

I removed the washer fluid tank to access the dryer better and realized the bracket that supports and aligns the dryer into the pump was missing. I replaced the blown o-ring and bolt and all is good. Thanks for your feedback!
