While you already made your decision on what to do, I'll still make a few comments.
I really feel you should strive for a fully operational automatic leveling air system. Anything other than that is a compromise that causes minor handling problems as weight or wind direction and velocity change.
As far as only reaching 80 PSI, you need to figure out why it only makes 80 PSI. A small leak in the system can cause this. The last time that I saw one this way it was caused by a cracked air fitting. The compressor was just fine. I would temporarily seal off that compressor and attach a pressure gauge to it. Then them let it pump up and see if it can reach 100 or 120 PSI. If it can then tje air pressure switch should shut off and I would declare the compressor good. If it does shut off you can then explore your options to repair or replace it.
Right now you are jury rigging around the failure and you do not even know what the failure is that you are attempting to bypass.
