car is basically a bracket car, rules are wide open as far as suspension goes, would a panhard bar really take the roll out of it?

No. .Panhard bars are for lateral location. ................Tom

Here is a picture of my shock mounted, I was wondering what it would do it I mounted another shock on the outside of each side, I would have 4 rear shocks, would this help the body roll? I think it would be pretty unique and cool if it worked just want some opinions...

I'd suggest pulling your springs out and have them checked for cracks, rearched and maybe add a leaf or two. The picture isn't the best, but the spring looks sacked out.Just my 2 cents.

Eric, if you can move the shock to the outside of the spring, I would think it would help. It will help dampen the roll. You might have to tighten the shock on that side more than you are used to. Also, if you have not taken your springs out and check the leaves and see if they have collapsed any, you might want to do that. Good luck with it.

Checked the pinion angle tonight. Tailshaft checks 2 degrees down and the pinion checks 2 degrees up. The driveshaft angle sits at 0* is this a bad thing???

Yes! ........ Move the pinion angle to at least 2 deg down . ...As mentioned moving the shocks outboard might help with the roll. .....You still might just have to replace the springs, if it appears the ones you have now may be fatigued. .........Tom
