wish bone

I have a 96 chevy full size with a 2-linked rear end, the problem is when i lift it all the way up the rear shifts to the right a good bit. i know the problem is the panhard bar. will a wish bone fix the problem. and does any one have pics of a wish bone set-up. thanks alot.

if you dont want to change your link, you can make a track bar. what it will do is go from the left bar on the axle side to the right bar on the bushing side. that will keep everyting straight through the travel on a 2link and be a very easy fix it should look like this |/|

A track bar is a good idea as long as there is not too much bind. I've seen many bent heims and twisted mounts with that setup. the bar has to be mounted triangulated from link to link. but not at too much of an angle. 30-60 degrees is good. Wish bones are sweet too and have none of those problems. (as long as you mount the point of the wishbone at the center or just next to the pumpkin of the axle). they just require more fabrication thats all.

The 2-link came from ekstensive and the panhard bar has a zig-zag bind at the end that goes on the axle. Should the new panhard bar be the same or just stright?

What would be the best way to run shocks and keep on getting the lift i get?

Im with justin on this one make the pan hard bar as long as possible and you should get very little movment. And It doesnt have to have the z in it.or you could just set up the panhard bar the way its supposed to be set up. Make it long as possible (between the frame rails i usually make em 34",if you can try to put it under the frame extending to the opposite link bar so it may be longer...sometimes the axle goes too far in the notch b/c of bigger wheels for this setup though), and at half of your total travel make it parallel to the ground...then you really wont notice the pull at all.
