    You should still have a switch that drops the suspension...look at the switches and see if the symbol on the switch gives you a clue. If you are at the yard seek out a driver of a similar truck and ask.

    There should be a switch on the second row of rocker switches that has dump/susp on it. At least it is on the 2011. Hope you find it.

    Some trucks don't have a suspension dump valve, is an option that may not have been added to your particular truck.

    Really?
    And the dealer doesn't have any ?(no,i'm not having a go at you,it is a serious question)
    Or is dealer service that poor in your area?
    Again,nothing bad directed at you..............just asking.

    It's a 2007. Not like a dealer is going to go out of there way on a 6 yo used truck.
