the gas tank is on the driverside that could make it ride easier

the weight of the gas tank might be it , but the A-Arms bolts being too tight might also do it .....my truck bounces evenly no shocks in the front

Do you have stock control arms?

yup stock control arms.
when would you tighten the control arms and a arms? when lifted or dropped?
it sucks cuz when i am on the freeway it'll start bobbing side to side like nuts sometimes

Doesn't GM do their trucks with lower suspension on the driver side to help prevent body lean? I believe I've run into that before... correct me if I'm wrong here

my buddies s10 did that for a while, on the highway it would go crazy, not bouncy from bumps, but it would kinda roll back and forth like crazy..it was actually fun to ride in..haha..why it did it, i dont know, it was mono-leafed at the time and had no shocks on it..so i dunno..how is your whole truck setup suspension-wise?

probably just the weight of the gas tank and the driver combined that will make it ride funny. to correct it you may have to add some weight to the passenger side or go on a diet. j/k. i would try adding weight in the form of a fuel cell or something like that. getting rid of the tank to do it. good luck man

i just ment too tight as in maybe the a-arms have been taken off for some reason and when they where reinstalled the bolts where tightend a little too much.

im gonna agree w/ the gas tank theory... see if it evens out some(the bounciness) when your gas tank is empty
