I don't see a way to lower these short shocks 10"
I think there not strong enough to handle the rear of the truck
I don't think I can mount a rear sway bar, not enough room.. even heavy duty springs on the rear would screw up the ride.
Yes I would say the guy was clueless.

Or.... He set it up just the way he wanted it. It functioned well enough to sell after the fact.

I was told to buy a Panhard Bar and bolt it to the ford 9" and the frame and that would stop the rockin.
What do you think?

Install front sway bar
Relocate rear shocks outward
Like suggested

Panhard bar is to keep diff centered on a truck arm or camaro style setup it has no sway bar properties

This four link rear suspension is built for drag racing not for corner carving
That is why it sways

I would agree w/gmc684x4.

Panhard bar is just a side to side locator. It's not going to impact 'body-roll' significantly. A front sway-bar + the rear springs/shocks out-board of the frame (or as close to the frame as possible) will make the biggest impact.

Personally I would remove what's there for a rear Ride Tech 4-bar/coil-over set-up (or similar manufacturer). But, I get minimizing expenses & working w/what's there if possible.
