air/level ride, there should be a compressor mounted on the outside of the left rear frame rail behind the rear wheel under a cover, also should have air shocks on the rear, in not someone most likely eliminated it and left the wiring .

Right now it's just extra weight since it's unplugged. Most Tys have had this disconnected due to leaking air shocks that were replaced with regular shocks or so the suspension could be lowered.

Agreed. Mine sits in a "box of original parts". Best place for it.

A quick check at the shocks will tell you if the air system
is there the shocks will have a 1/4 inch nylon tube hose at the side
if these are not there they have been replaced with just gas units !! :rotf:
