Eas valve block rebuild

Whatever you do! Take pics during dismantle steps. Their are 3 valves inside which need to be put back the right way. Its easy to forget this and place them all back in the same way because they fit either way. I highly recommend valve body rebuild to all who suffer from EAS. I ended up replacing pump after a rebuild failed when I rebuilt it and then the piston rod snapped, so new pump, a couple of servos, Also bought a roll of pneumatic line and fittings and fitted additional input/ release valves next round the pump box incase I need to manually pump the suspension back up ( which I've used a couple of times now due to a fuse issue while far from home) I bought a small air compressor machine the size of an dewalt impact, which I can just plug right into the air valves and pump up the Jam.
So new pump, valve body rebuild, added a few extra lines, some relays, wire fixes and back to new again no issues.
P.s. Air bags like to pop off the beads at the back if you lift a p38a 2.5d in the air off both back wheels. Use a Ratchet strap on both sides if your getting new tyres!

If the rear shocks are the correct length the air-bags shouldn't pop off their beads

If the air bags pop off the beads when the wheels are lifted off the ground, either you have the wrong shocks fitted or they are knackered, how do you think the vehicle would manage off road at max articulation if the air bags pop off?

As above if the front shocks have been fitted to the rear that will happen.

I guess that's what I get from ordering a 4 pack of shocks off ebay. It only happens when both back wheels are off the ground.

The shocks are new but bought as a 4 pack non specified location ( f or b) also it only pops off when both back wheels are off the ground ?

Most likely you have fitted the front shocks to the rear if you 4 with unspecified location. The fronts are longer than the rears. The bags should never pop off with both back wheels off the ground. I suggest you change the rear shocks as a matter of urgency, I don't regard it as being safe as it is.
