So I am looking to lock or override my air ride suspension in the top position.
Does anyone know how to do this?

No way to do this with settings. Nor would you want to if you drive on the street. The air suspension gets bouncier the higher it goes. I wouldn't expect to have a very good ride if you kept it in OR2 on the highway. You can mess with the suspension links to fool the system, but again, you'll run into the issue I described above if you go too high.

I too wish I could have a way to lock the suspension at the highest setting ... although not permanently, more of a larger window before it takes over based on speed.
There is a road I travel that starts quite rough and filled with crater sized potholes, some in succession that sets up for a bouncy-castle ride at 10 to 15 MPH for several hundred feet, then the dirt road becomes straight and smooth for about a half mile which is easy to hit 40 to 50 MPH before it turns and becomes another 10 to 15 MPH bouncy-castle ride - yet, the suspension system won't go back to the previous higher ride height on it's own.
Oddly, it will do it if it starts on the "Normal" ride height, then lowers to "Aero", but once I am back at lower speeds, it' will rise back to "Normal". I wish it would go to the "last ride height" after adjusting to Aero for speed.
I had an old Audi AllRoad that went back to last ride height after a lowering for higher speeds. Would love that for this truck.

Yeah, what you're describing is exactly how the system is designed. If you have the option enabled, it will automatically change between normal and aero ride heights based on speed. And by design it will not allow you to be in entry/exit, OR1, or OR2 all the time. I suspect there are a couple of reasons for this. One reason is what I mentioned above. This would apply to entry/exit as well because at that height you're basically on the bump stops. The other reason I suspect is because of tire wear. Raising and lowering the suspension changes camber alignment. You'd want to align the truck while in OR2 if you plan to always be at that height. Otherwise you'd have pre-mature tire wear.
