Okay guys I need a new panhard bar. Ive been searching for a while now on here and havent found what im looking for.
Id like a bar that will get rid of the stupid balljoint at the axle end, I feel that is a horrible idea/design and a heim would be much better suited there.
Does anyone know if there is a kit out there that will do this, I realize I would have to have a new mount for the axle side also.
Any help is appreciated.

I know you are looking for something that eliminates the ball joint end, but a while ago I got a sweet deal from Farmboy Fabrication. Was running Superlift with altered radius arms instead of dropped brackets, and dropped track bar bracket. They hooked me up with parts they had laying around, dropped radius arm brackets, stock radius arms, and an Icon track bar for use with my factory bracket. It was a night and day difference. With my 4.5" Icon coils it was flawless, no bump steer or weird crap, just worked. I did replace the lower track bar ball joint, but it was perfect. Keeping the pitman bar in plane with the track bar is so important.

I went with Bulllet Proof Steerings Trac Bar, it changes both ends to heim joints. I am building my own lower mount to rid my truck of that abortion of a lower trac bar ball joint. Hoping to get it next week to install it the following weekend

Thanks for the offer but the truck is stock height, actually lowerd about 1'' so that trac bar wouldnt work for me.

So after looking at it for a while today ive decided to make my own bar and mount setup. If my design goes as planned i will be able to leave the factory balljoint mount in place aswell so if i dont like it i can cut off my brackets and go back to factory stuff but i doubt that will happen. Hopefully in the next few weeks i can get it done.
