I'm considering attempting a torque arm install. If anybody has done this, or wants to, or wants to help, let me know...
I'd like to have some reference photos of your underbody so I can plan the packaging. Either 8-3/4 or D60 is ok, it needs installed exhaust and a Gear Vendor overdrive would be nice too. I need perspective from front looking back at the rear axle, center and off to the sides a bit.  :scratchchin:

Whats a torque arm, is that similar to a panhard bar.

What's a panhard bar and a torque arm?

A panhard bar helps located the rear end side to side.

A panhard bar attaches the axle on one side to the frame on the other, locating the axle side-to-side.
A torque arm attaches to the axle in the rear and the frame at some point forward. It's just like a long centered ladder bar.
