of course they work..we have done them on about 10 trucks..never had a problem at all. The axle wont articulate any, which we kinda prefer...but some people might see as a downside

well had a panhard bar on my truck and i had the panhard pull to one side at full lift. at ride hight axle was even on both sides. having done a few panhards on deriks body style and newer body style the panhard always pulled to on side AT FULL LIFT. but if set up right at ride height axle should be centered and maby shift little laid out. ANyways i redid my panhard and i did a trac-bar. the reason is the ekstensive 2-link kit with panhard i redid it for 22s. my housing on my axle was hitting the panhard so i did away with it/ me personally dont like trac-bar because i feel the rearend shift alittle in the corners. BUT going to stick with it until i do my new frame for this truck.
