A 2 link w/ a panhard bar will work side to side. Just dont link the 2 together in the rear like some do.

no, no it wont. The "side to side" you get is from the flex of the bushings, or your frame.



wrong, the 2 link will hit mad sides yo.

A friend of mine ran 3 valves in the rear just to fix that problem of uneven filling. I believe he had one for both up and then a dump for each bag. As for side to side...you get a little but nothin crazy.

yes you can hit sides with a two link its just not good for it. like Russ-D said the side action you are getting is either the flex in your bushings or the frame. yo

sounds like a stupid setup because it would require alot of plumbing, the fill valve would have to be separate of the dump, then T'd into 2 check valves, then ran to the bags which would need a street T to attach the dump to it.

might sound dumb but its functional and you don't ride unlevel. nobody said a setup thats never seen has to be pretty.

Don't hit side on a 2-link thats all there is to it, yes it will do it but it will bend the frame like a MF just think when one bar goes up the other stays one will move forward and the other don't (if you notice the wheel is further forward or backward from when the truck is up, to when it is down)something has to give. wether it be frame axle mounting, or bushings wich normally bushings will not give that much maybe if the bags were behind the axle on a std 2 link setup. I would buy a 4 link or build one

I actually used two 2 links in the back of my truck but they have bushings at both ends of the bars. It works quite well.
