Rear end locators for ladder bars/coil overs

hey.....

doin all the final stuff with my roll cage and ladder bar install with the 9". what i was wander ing was instead of getting my custom diagonal link made because i need a really long one; can i use one of those Competition Engineering panhard rods instead? ya know the one that has one end fixed to the frame rail and the other on the axle housing with adjustable rod ends on either side. thanks for any input.

I use a Herb Adams adjustable panhard bar with my ladder bars. It does the same thing as the diagonal link would do. It's just mounted differently.

There's nothing saying you need a diagonal link between the ladder bars. You just need somthing to keep the diff centered. Any sort of track bar will work fine.
