Thanks for the insight. The kit that both companies offers I think has a bracket that bolts on at the U bolt to the passenger side trailing arm. So the bar would be longer than stock and possibly at a horizontal or level angle. I'll have to give it a try and go for it.
It sounds like you still have some confusion. The panhard bar and the track bar are NOT the same.

The panhard bar that ray is talking about is for stock height - 4" drop trucks. It attaches to the rear in the stock location. From what ray said you can get the bracket that for a non-coil spring rear.

The track bar is for > 4" drop and it comes with the bracket to attach to the trailing arm with the U-bolt. If you use it on a stock height truck, it wouldn't be horizontal at all.

If you staying with the stock height you should get the panhard bar and a bracket to bolt to the rear end.
