I believe the RAM system is a closed system, no way to drain it. Moisture should never be in the system unless a seal is broken somewhere.
Well did not do my due diligence before getting my Limited. I looked at the system and it sure enough is a closed system. So if you do develop a slow leak, it is not as easy to capture vs. air. I would rather have a true air ride system with a moisture evacuation valve and not have to take it to the dealer for slight N2 leaks! When you lower the truck where does the N2 go?

I dont know for sure but I believe there are two tanks located under the bed but above the spare tire and the system moves the nitrogen back and forth as needed for the particular level you are using. I am sure someone with more knowledge will chime in. I googled it and came up with a generic older picture, could be completely different. Active-Level Four-Corner Air Suspension System.JPG

the compressor move the nitro back into the tanks when you lower
thats why you can hear the compressor no matter if it goes up or down vs a open system you would here air purging
