*ahem* It's EAS in Range Rovers.




And you can buy air shocks for any vehicle. I've seen 'em on Blazers!

I thought discos and range rovers used air bags not air shocks for the SLS and EAS systems.

The Range Rover EAS is air shocks...not a dual bag setup like you see on most load assist setups. It's a long tubular cylinder...I suppose not a true air shock though..

Im trying to find a pic of what the range rover uses but have not been able to so far. Does anybody make these air shocks/long tubular cylinders for the disco?

found some pics...they definately look more like air bags than springs..but im guessing coil springs are inside the bladders?

negative. It's all air bags. Untill you convert to coils. Then it's all coils. You can see in the following pic:


The black cylinder is the air shock.

Rovers don't run air shock, never have they use air bags.

Yea but it doesn't look like any air bag I've ever seen. It's that long tube. Not like:

Quick Q: would a camber kit be needed or not for an OME HD shocks and spring setup? (ARB Camber kit)

From my research so far, the answer is "no" for the MD kit, and "probably not" for the HD (looks like 4"+ is where you would really need to dial these back with a camber kit?), but I just want to confirm... I'm looking at about 2k in parts right now to get "Big Red" back on the road with her new upgrades and climbing...
