It depends on your valves. Some require back pressure (my SMCs do for example). One way to find out is to fill your bags up then drain the tank. If your bags deflate as the PSI drops (usually ~30 psi on an s-10 w/v6) then you should consider using check valves. One thing to note is the diameter of the check valve's oriface is usually rather small. I have a check valve on each corner of mine and it considerably slowed down my lift speed. In fact, so much I opted to take them out (after I realized 1 wasn't working anyways). They can be a life saver if you loose tank pressure for some reason though. But some valves do not require them and will hold pressure from flowing back.
