Did you put new o rings in with some parker o-ring lube.

Did you replace the O-rings on the solenoids when you replaced the air shocks? Are the shocks new or used? Check the rear height sensor to make sure it's properly mounted. And check the fronts also (however, usually when the fronts come loose the front end jacks up). Does it pump up in the front? If so, when it pumps up, put your ear as close to the fender as possible on both sides (not at the same time) and listen for "hissing". If you hear hissing, get a spray bottle of dishwashing liquid and water and spray it all over the springs and air fittings to see if/where it bubbles. If it ends up being the o-rings, make sure you smear dielectric silicone grease all over them before putting the solenoid back in the housing after replacing the O-rings.

Welsome to my world! I'm on the same boat! I've had enough so more than likely I'm doing the switch until I have the money to re-do the entire air ride w/brand new parts from Arnott.
