Don`t remove the rod untill you have cross over steering because with the standard push pull steering when you brake the diff rotates which inturn makes the steering turn and the lux will turn hard when braking hard. Have heard of some people getting away with it but I wouldn`t be trying it.

Once you have cross over steering it is safe to remove the trac bar, you have to remove it anyway as the rod is in the way.

Probably irrelevant, but if you run parabolic springs you don't need the torque rod, even w/out crossover steer. My truck is running this way right now.
So parabolics are good for something.
