Can you send me a pic of your setup? Would be very easy at this point.....just not sure Panhards and 4 trailing links go together.

I do know you want the panhard as long as absolutely possible, to create the largest arc possible.
Ok, I got a chance to put the car on jack stands and take some pics of the Panhard bar setup. The Panhard bar on my car is 33.5" center to center from pivot points. I've got a 9" in my car but the same setup should work on an 8.8". There's a tube running from the opposite side frame rail to the frame side mount to keep it from moving/flexing. The Panhard bar has about 3/8" clearance with the back of rear end housing and extends just short of the shock absorber. The side connected to the rear end runs under the frame rail.













I hope this helps
