panhard bar with a watts link ?

if I run a watts link will I need a panhard bar ( or panhard rod or track bar or whatever you call it)

I plan on running bags in Stock locations (2500s all around) with a bolt in notch and 2" lowering blocks, flipped trailing arm brackets and shock relocators and raised bed

not looking to be laying frame just going to lower the altitude

You need one or the other but not both.

Yeah like said you need one they both do the same job,But to me the watts link does the job a little better then a panhard bar.

Can you post a picture of them? I would imagine it would bind as the Panhard bar forces the axle to move laterally but the Watts wouldn't allow the same amount of movement. Plus packaging all that together would be interesting.

I can't see anyone running both because one would end up binding and maybe breaking.
