ok i took my truck out for the first time yesterday and it fully bagged now and the whole truck feels kinda loose... it could just b me cuz i never drove a bagged truck before but sumthing didnt feel right. im gonna recheck all my links and all that but still i dunno if that would do much, im not running any shocks front or back and theres no sway bar up front so any1? oyea its a 95 S-10
kinda loose? its gonna sway and bounce and feel like its floating with no shocks, and mad wheel hop on bumps and stuff cuz of no shocks.
so im thinkin keep it off the freeway for now cuz michigan roads suck!!! hella potholes..
did you change your four link in the back if i remember right you had the big bars up top and they wernt angled enuff or gussted that good....not try to hate just help....
.
HOW MANY VALVES DO YOU HAVE?IF YOU HAVE 4 THEN YOU NEED TO PUT THE SWAY BAR BACK IN. IF YOUR NOT GOING TO USE IT FOR HOPPING I WOULD PUT SHOCKS IN IT.
lets see..no sway bar, no shocks, possibly bad 4-link and possibly FB setup.. i wonder why it feels 'loose'. put it back into the garage and leave it there until you update your setup.

Hahahaha... LMAO.
did you get the front end aligned? What kind of shape is your tie rods, ball joints, pitman arm, idler arm, and center link in?
shocks would help too.

Welcome to the bagged life...
The dudes above are right, without shocks it will feel bouncin' and in some cases side to side movement. I would highly suggest shocks, because they help stabalize the ride, and make a HUGE difference.
Oh yeah, and more valves can help, but I personally think that the more connection, the more places for leaks. If you not try to hop and you want it to ride nice. Shocks are the key. Wish I had done it on my Zu before I sold it. I have ridden in both, and shocks are the way to go for sure.
I would also imagine from an engineering stanpoint it may help with uneeded stress on the bags. Possibly.
Peace.
