You can always just split the wishbone and attach to the frame rails
Instant anti sway bar

The apocalypse comes fast in the outback ...
My recent expensive 4wd shocks lasted 7 days.

Actually, Ford here usually has a goodly set of suspension engineers for that reason.

Suspension failures are a common source of problems with imported cars. They are just not made tough enough.
Years ago (Model A era), the English couldn't understand why we in Australia bought those horrible, roughly made American cars instead of their "fine British engineered" cars. It was because the American ones were made for long distances and held up better in the sun and the rough country roads. They never got it. Low ratio diffs and small, long stroke engines and paint and rubber seals that disintegrated in the sun were their biggest shortcomings. Some of their larger, more expensive cars were all right but the every man's car makers never caught on.

I was just looking at Snyder’s front and rear Panhard bars and wondering if they are worthwhile to have. My car drives find under normal conditions, but would these help handling if you were caught in - say, windy conditions unexpectedly? I’m looking towards the MAFCA get together in New Mexico this Juneand contemplating refinements for handling purposes.

Any thoughts or experiences out there with these add-ons?

You do not need panhard bars unless you are going racing.
