Any reason I cant fab up a panhard bar and just not run it most of the time? Only time the truck will ever tow is if I somehow actually get into the Diesel Power Challenge, which is highly unlikely.
The problem with a panhard bar is that it makes the diff go side to side in an arc. Whereas a wishbone or triangulated setup wants to make it go straight up and down. The two will fight each other.

I don't know what to say other than that.

My new truck will be running single leaf leaf springs to control side to side movement. It will use a torque rod of some sort to control the torque.

Build thread here, presently waiting for some new tools.
