i need to find out what can i do to fix the bounce i get from my truck.
i have a stock crossmember. ss 7 bags and cpp shocks. i did buy but havent installed the shock replacement. the only thing i can think of is that the shocks are no good? and if so i guess i need to some KYB

Does having less or more air in your bags help lessen the bounce any?What psi are u at when riding?

well a bit.. i dont complaine but the wife says that truck gives breast cancer

i dont run gauges.. but im thimnking of running some soon!

[bucannon]

gauges with air suspension is necessary, adjustable shocks may also help.

[N2TRUX]

With out gauges you can't possibly fix your issues unless you enjoy swapping parts. My guess is your bag pressure is no optimized, but we won't know till you get gauges.

Do I need a gauge for each corner

[N2TRUX]

No, but it would help. Tell us more about your system please. how many valves are you running? What does this refer to? "i did buy but havent installed the shock replacement."

[Sick5]

Ready!
i have 8 valves
running 7 gal tank
1/2 inch lines
and what i meant about the "shock replacement" are the upper shock mount.sorry!
i bought a pair of them from a buddy of mine. not sure if the will help. but i do have them

Gauges usually have dual needles, so 1 gauge will handle 2 bags, so you should get 2 gauges. You'll also need to figure out where to plumb into your lines to get the pressure reading.

You don't "need" them, but it would help knowing you're setting the ride height the same each time for both alignment and ride quality (once you find the quality spot that is). Have you tried riding around with more or less air in the bags and did it make a difference? About how high are you lifting truck from full drop? Most bags want to be between 6-9 inches tall inflated for a good ride...are you in that range?

dont shoot me for stating something obvious and judging by how modified your truck is you probably know this but...shocks have a sweet spot and if they are not running in the sweet spot they cant do their job right. the sweet spot is usually the 2 inches of travel in the middle of the stroke. pull the shock out all the way then compress it back half way and its in its sweet spot and you could re-do your upper mount
