I have just tested my rig for the first time after changing from coil front suspension and rear 1/4 eliptical to air shocks on all 4 corners. When I put it into gear the drivers side lifts a little. When I get on the gas the shocks unload all the way and stay that way. The lower links are at the center of the axle tube. Do they need to be below the center of the axle tube? Maybe I have to have a sway bar. I have never seen a suspension unload this much. Might be to much for a sway bar. HELP please.

You gotta dial the air shocks in with nitrogen and oil. Check out BillaVista's air shock article on the tech page. I also added a sway bar to the rear, with a center limit strap, and working on a front limit strap as well.

From everything I have seen and read is leading to believe that a sway bar in the rear will fix my problem. I sure hope so!!!!!! This stuff is new to me.

your leaving out a lot of info that we could use to help ya. hows your 4 link geometry? do a little searching for the 4 link calculator on here, plug all your numbers in, and post a screen shot of the first page (antisquat, roll axis, roll center....)
