I have always read that panhard bars and or tracbar stop side to side motion. Sway bars are for body roll, that's all I know. It's something I need to address though.

I do not know much...OK...anything......about the 8.8 rear...sooooo...

The "sway bar" you are referring too..would be the funky thing protruding
thru the frame rail and making a 90* turn then attaching to the axle tube?

Is that an OEM piece?...

I DO like the "cage" type bridge work over the axle...nice work......

Finally got my NoLimit "FatBar" 4-Link installed and can be seen in my album. Installation did not go without some hiccups; but was not all that difficult. I ordered the unit on a Tuesday and they said it would ship out that day except for the upper shock mounts. I called back Friday and asked for a Tracking number and they said it had not shipped yet but was going to that day. A week later I almost received them from the infamous UPS.....I received package 1 of 3 and 2 of 3 ; but package 3 of 3 was lost altho the record showed it had been delivered. Great. So I called NoLimit and they contacted UPS and a couple days later they said they are just sending a new package #3. Meanwhile I installed all that I could. A week later UPS delivered my new package #3 ....to the wrong address! Fortunately it was one block over and the home owner called me. Whew! (shocks and upper mtg brkt). I finished installing everything, let it down off of the jack stands and it was 2" higher in the back than the ride height I had wanted.(I had asked the tech at NoLimit if their unit would allow my truck to set at the ride height of about 1 1/2" from bottom of frame to top of axle housing and he assured me it would) Well, it wouldn't...even at the lowest setting. Also it was very stiff.....their claim to fame says that the spring rate is only 200# allowing for a smoother ride than the normal 350# of other kits. I called and wound up Returning for Exchange some that were 2" shorter.
Test drive was rewarding. New shocks/coilovers were better quality and were softer. It handled better, rode much smoother, and the tranny with a shift kit upgrade shifted much better....no leaf spring slapping. Pretty satisfied with the results.
I can say as mentioned by others here and there that the Instruction drawings were possibly hand drawn by a 3rd grader! Not impressive for the caliber of 4-Link they created. I am presently re-drawing their illustrations on computer and re-writing their Instructions hoping to complete within a week and send it to them. Maybe I will get a T-shirt or, if I'm lucky, maybe a "thanks".
