My other bagged truck was an 00' exteme with a two-link and it was just bagged front to back with only 2 switches... but the truck I recently got has a four link and two switches... I know how to work the front and back but for some reason I ant figure out how to get it to hit sides... do I have to hit more than one switch at a time? Or is it possible that my switch-box isnt wired right?

If it only has 2 switches chances are they control the front and back only as you say. If you only have 4 valves you won't be able to hit the sides If you have 8 valves then wire up a 10 switch box or two more switches to the existing setup that control left and right. e-mail me at Jacob@TheCustomConnectionOnline.com and I will send you my wiring diagram.

It does have a 10-switchbox already... I messed up on my post, I meant just my last truck had two switches... But it does only have 4 valves, I was pretty sure it had to have 8.. I will probably have to re-do the air plumbing too, and run line to each inividual bag... because right now its just T'd off..

Right, with only 4 valves you wont be able to hit sides. Get yourself four more valves and you will be set bro.

tucn22's has got it right. as a bonus to adding four more valves and not having the bags teed together, your truck wont lean nearly as much when you go around a corner because the air wont be able to transfer from one bag to the next.

hell ya... I was also wondering if there was any way to smooth out the ride... because its real bouncy and it hates bumps... I think a lot of it may be because it doesnt have any shock absorbers up front...

Only runnig a front/back setup (4 valves) will not affect the bumpy ride a wholelot but mainly when you go around curves. Like STMike said, the bags will transfer air resulting in big time body roll. To smooth the ride out, you could add shocks, or replace the bags with stiffer ones like Contitech 4 ply or Slam Specialties XS. and mount the rear bags on the 4 link bars if they are strong enough to hold the wieght of the truck w/o bending the bars. If you have any more questions you can e-mail me anytime. Jacob@TheCustomConnectionOnline.com

Yes, shock are deff the way to go for the best ride possible. I mentioned stiffer bags becuase some times you dont have rome to mount shocks. Like in my case I have a S-10 that is body dropped on 22" x 10" so as you can imagine there is no room to mount a shock & relocating bracket. I run Contitech 4 ply bags and it rides pretty smooth. If you have plenty of room shocks would deff be better. Sorry I should have explained a little better in my last post.

i haven't looked at an s10 in awhile but i'll be if you were running an electric fan there would be enough room between the radiator and motor to lay a set of shocks down perpindicular to the frame and fabricate a cantilever arrangement to attach them to the lower control arm. having shocks would be nice.

Yeah, great idea. Post some pics of you engine compartment maybe we can get an idea of what you have room to do. shock placement really just depends on where you have relocated everything else.
