Testing LLS compressor & corners? ?

Yes, I know - try the search function up top. Did that and couldn't find what I was looking for.

My rig sits at about 34" front and 35" rear at standstill measured to bottom of wheel well trim. Sag is minimal overnight, maybe 1/4" front and rear. On turn on, compressor kicks on and raises (what feels like) the front only. It runs for maybe 15 to 30 seconds max.

can someone tell me if this is normal? It seems to pump up everytime I turn it on, but seldom if ever while running. I'm also looking for a way to test the compressor and front air shocks.

it doesn't seem to kneel at all on turn-off though - is there something near or in the compressor that I should check to be plugged? If I get out and push down on the front quarter panel, then I can hear an air release, but nothing with no weight. And, overnight, there is still about 2" between the bumpstop and axle in the rear.

getting up there in mileage, so I'm thinking I might replace the bags and fronts shocks shortly anyway, but if I can pro-long it I will (having foot surgery next week, so it needs to be at least 4 to 6 weeks from now!)

thanks in advance.
