had a look under a few yesterday and from what i cna tell it will fit..i might run mine a little different but.
i figure teh 2 upper links being so short are goin to cause alot of binding in the suspension. My plan is to jsut run both bottom links with the panhard and then a trac bar to stop the axle wrap the top 2 links stop. doesd anyoen think it will work? the trac bar will be a slip and twist type
