being rich would be nice, but that snot the case. I was laid off from my job right before xmas and have been working this job for about 2 months. my wife is having health issues so been more focused on all of that. the truck will come along very soon, might be ordering my lower bars, bushings, tabs, this weekend and then working on getting them on next weekend. been thinking of going with a long panhard bar, i have ran em before and it worked great. at least for a while..

that works, i will get an unwelded panhard bar kit from suicidedoors and be set on that part. I can get the lower link bars, rod ends and tabs for cheap on rollpans.com. so hopefully within a few weeks I will be able to get to installing. as soon as i find a new bed I am going to do the bd. I will flare the bedsides out and be set.then start on shaving the lights and putting the caddies in.

If I were u I would see about trading those wheels for some that fit better... By the looks of it u will have to flair tbe shit outta ur bed to make em fit... Or just find a courier rear end or something like that... Depending on how much lift ur wanting out of ur rear suspension the panhard bar can cause a few issues... With your wheel ditment currently being so wide any side to to side movement on the axle will cause u to rub more ... That's the only downside of a panhard bar... But if ur not getting tons of lift it would be an issue... Imo I would do a trac bar... Lil easier to put on produces much less if any noticable side to side movement through articulation.. keep plugging away at it...

the wheels used to tuck without the fenders pulled out like they are currently. I seen the truck in a video and am not sure why someone pulled them out like they did. A shorter axle is an idea as well. I am setting my ride height at 5 inches off the ground, not to worried about getting big lift on the truck. the only rubbing the rear tires do is when the front is all the way up and the back all the way down so I should be ok on that part.

might look up the trac bar and see what it is about and things.

Pretty sure a track bar is the same as a panhard. Just a bar attached to the diff and frame to keep it centered, unless they have a top or bottom orientation but I doubt that.

Ordered my 2 link setup today. Should get it in 3-4 days. Mounting tabs are all on there so will be a bolt in swap. Panyard bar will be ordered in a week or 2.

been a month since posting last, got my 2 link today, took them a month to get it to me, last time i use rollpans.com. anyways I am going to try and work on the link tomorrow. I replaced the rear bags, u joint, carrier bearing a week ago. put a snugtop on it as well. Need to get new tires and should be able to get it out the driveway.
