Well, You can always put the leaf springs back in it Ya gotta love a 4 link system with a panhard rod or a z bar. Its the best way to put big tires on a narrowed axle. Sometimes traction bars on a mustang with leaf springs gets to riding like a "steel wheeled spreader"

I get it. But i would never use traction bars and I'll still have a panhard, z bar and sub frames. A leaf spring done right you really won't notice and won't break the bank at $4g's. That's what my front end costs =)
