That setup is better than inverted T.
However, be careful running a rod end at the pitman arm without double sear. A GM high angle TRE will handle much more axle drop out, with a rod end I single shear, you run the risk of bending or breaking that bolt.
Also, how is the bumpsteer with that panhard setup? Do you do much fast moving? I suppose it may be live able if you are running limited travel or don't go fast.
I plan on going double sheer on the pitman arm in the near future, just ran out of time before I had to head off to college. Finished the 3 link and crossover steering literally 5 hours before I loaded it up on the trailer for Colorado. Believe it or not, I have no noticeable bumpsteer. I do mostly slow crawling, but I do some occasional go fast type stuff. With bilstein 7100s out back and 5150s up front, it handles it perfect. Front is a little soft, but not bad. I have 14" Travel out back and 12" up front, with it limited to 13" and 11". The steering and 3 link is a big difference from stock on fast stuff as well as crawling. I agree the WJ steering is a great option to consider, it was just a little bit pricey after knuckles, spacer, balljoints, rotors, and calipers and misc. stuff. I have a little under $300 into my entire setup including joints, metal, and brackets. Ive heard the legality of heims debated before, but Ive never had a problem and dont anticipate ever having one. Not many cops would take the time to look, and know that what theyre seeing isnt, or is legal.
