www.speedwaymotors.com has good priced panhard bars, hit me up if you need any weld on bushing ends. if you still end up going the 2link route.. be sure to make the bars extra long, and get the pinion perfect at ride height. actually ride at that height too..

i really appreciate all of your inputs and can always take more. the reason for the two link and not a for is b/c of space and money. the two link is just fine for me. i am not towing and i only have a V6 in a F/S chevy. i just need ride quality. i understand two links to a decent level. i used to have it on my bagged 88'yota. but this air ride i am trying to do will be mostly stationary if that helps you guys out with what you are trying to say and understand what i mean!!!! and thanks again for all the input

2 links suck for a truck to be driven like a normal vehicle. if you welded your spider gears together so that both wheels would always spin, you might help the problem, but when you can spend 250 bux on a niiiice 4 link and a couple more hrs installing it, why not? if done right you will get improved braking and traction, all the articulation you will need for those "troublesome" driveways, and general uneven "terrain" of everyday driving. i drove on a 2 link for about 2 years, and it sucked, i would get stuck in my own driveway, because it had a decent incline and was uneven. not to mention coming at an angle to a steep driveway from the left and my drive tire squealing because the left is lifting it off the ground. and from that pic mark is showing it looks to be an ibeam, which im sure those big trucks have no problem flexing, if they had no flex at all like a normal truck, the weight and torque of a big rig would snap it. gonna ask my pops today since he knows alot about 10-18 wheelers.

im sick of all the "2-links sucks" bull shit!!! It is just like a 4 link, if you do it wrong it will suck but if it is done right then it will be great! Look at my truck, i have weighed in at 28,000 lbs before pulling with a 2-link on my dodge, a semi has 2 links that pull way more then my truck and my mazda has way over 100,000 miles on a 2 link with not one prob in the world! I have had more types of shit on my trucks and i will never again do anything but a 2-link so fuck the people that hate them if thats what you want, just do it right and be happy!
