Rear suspension fell

I have a 2001 Lincolin Navigator, I heard a loud hiss noise comming from under my hood. while driving home the truck started to bounce really bad. I looked under the hood when I got home and heard air leaking, but it wasn't comming from the compressor. The truck now sits really low in the rear.

It most likely blew a line going to the rear leveling valve to leval out the truck i would start there and then check the bags and the valve it self.

Try to better describe the noise.
Is it a
scraping of metal
grinding / rubbing
high pitched shriek like a drive belt slipping

The rear end of my Lincoln Navigator will not raise.

could just be a seal on the air line itself, or possibly a whole in the line or one of th eleveling air bags. gong thru the water should'nt have any effect on it,unfortunately these are just like any other part, or seal they just eventually wear out.

2001 Navigator rear suspension sagging. While

It sounds like one of your air bags could have blown. I would check them first. I would also suggest checking into a replacement non air conversion kit from Strutmasters. I replaced the air system on my 2002 Navigator and saved a lot of time, money and headaches.The lines on my navigator had holes in them and I replaced the compressor twice before I realized it. Very costly. Avoid all the hassle and check out Strutmasters.

MY CAR IS RIDING LIKE A LOW RIDER I HEARD A LOUD GASP OF AIR AND THEN THE BACK DROPPED AND I CANT REALLY DRIVE IT NOW , I HERE THE COMPRESSOR WORKING LOUDLY AS ALWAYS BUT ITS NOT LIFTING THE REAR 2000 4WD...

If your not too familiar with air-suspension, send it in. But I can tell you that the air-compressor will not last too much longer if it runs constantly.
You need to go underneath and find out where the air is coming from while the compressor is running. It is possibly coming from a defective proportioning valve, bad air-line or defective air-bag.

Forgot toi turn the air suspension off when

Remove battery, remove windshield washer bottle, remove air compressor and disconnect both air lines from the compressor dryer. Make sure compressor electrical wiring is plugged in, install battery, turn suspension switch to ON, turn ignition switch to the ON position, close all door and the compressor should come on and completely lower the whole truck. Once the truck is completely down, turn the ignition OFF, remove battery and connect both air lines. Install battery ensure electrical wiring is plugged in, turn ignition switch to ON, the compressor should come on and raise the vehicle to the correct ride height.
