I had the same issue with my yota. the lower bars were not parralell with th top bars on mine. we redid them and had no more problems.i would post pics but all i get are these damn oops messages.

no shocks on bags on bars = bad
reverse setup = not the greatest
you = screwed

i had the same prob till i found that my four link was loose. yes its bolt on. i dunno if yours is. but i have run with no shocks and candos cantilever for about almost ayear now. not to bad.

If there are no shocks on the rear its gonna be all over the road thats for sure.But get some pics for use to check out so we can try to help.

Buddy had a Ford Exploder with reverse triangulated with bags on lower bars, and it did the same thing- like the whole rear end was just flopping side-to-side! It turned out that the link cause the axle to rotate (almost like it was steering) when one side of the suspension compressed. As these were the drive wheels, it would cause the opposite wheel to try to "catch up", so the truck would swing the opposite way, and so on until you had to stop the truck to keep it from happening! Scary stuff- switching to over the axle put a band-aid on the problem, but of course running the bars the way they should be would have been better...

1 yea reverse setups are not the greatest of all but will work if it has to. 2 u must have shocks do not comprimise there. 3 have'n the bag to one side or the other on the bar is bad in the long run cause u'll go through bushing really fast. 4 and yea like everyone has said if 2 of the pars are not triangulated enough it will move side to side and that is bad. 5 like said befor he must not be that good if he does'nt kn ow the diff between (leverage style) and (cantilever). 6 take it to someone else

are you trying to say the truck is rocking like your hitting sides? or front to back? my old hardbody used to rock side to side till the frame would smack the ground. on the interstate at 7o mph its a little scary. it was just bagged in the front and monoleafed in the back. never finished it though, didnt find out was it was. just trying to help clarify your question. good luck

hmm oh where oh where are the pics??

had a buddy w/ the same problem. he only had 2 valves for the rear. we added 2 more valves to seperate the bags & got rid of the air transfer.
