I want to lower my ORG air suspension to ride at normal air suspension levels.

Not sure if this will help you or not but if you have the 12"screen, you can go into suspension and turn aero mode off and it will let you raise the truck to normal heights. Maybe you can turn it on to lower? I didn't get ORG so I'm just throwing out an idea.
Thank you for the suggestion, but what I’m really trying to do is get my truck to ride at the same heights as yours. The ORG trucks are 1” taller in all height settings and we loose off-road 2. I’d like to have my truck ride the 1” lower in all settings and also get the off-road 2 setting back.

Sounds like he wants the settings of a non ORG truck. Same as me. If you use lowering links, then you could bottom out the shocks in entry/exit mode, or not get as much height in the highest mode either. Having one extra setting would be a more elegant fix.

I think you're not going to be able to achieve what you want without major modifications.
Your air shocks are designed for optimum comfort when your truck is set at 'normal'. Any change you make to the height of the truck away from 'normal' height is going to adversely affect ride quality. You can get away with about 1/2" up or down with no real affect, but once you lower or raise your truck more than 3/4" from 'normal' you're not going to like the ride quality.
Unfortunately your ORG truck will ride smoothest at 'normal'.

This is what I want to do. I can’t see why this would be so hard to do as all the air suspension 1500’s use the same components. It has to be just a programming change.
From a little bit of research, I believe you will have to do programming in tandem with new sensors, since there are different part number options as seen in the image below. It looks to me like you either spend the money on new Mopar sensors, or you spend money on Revel links. I do think you should call the dealer with your Vin number to verify what part number goes to your truck. Or you could be slick and get a VIN number of a non-ORG truck off the Internet and call the parts department for the ride height sensor numbers.
