I've been doing more reading on this and it seems like there's some disagreement over whether or not additional parts/work is needed such as panhard bar. If there is then it may get out of cost range for what I want to spend on this mod.

Will I need anything else? If so, what?

I have just the roush rear springs andhave no issues at all! its not enough of a drop to need a panhard bar or even new shocks for that matter. those things wouldnt hurt obviously,buttheyre not needed!

Yeah if you had 20"+ rims and wide tires to match and the drop is greater than 1" you would need the adj panhard bar to re-center the rear. Riding on 17" rims and tires you can only go so wide anyway unless you have a staggered setup and the 17's I dont think come in 10"+ widths.....has to be 18"+ rims (18x10). Make sense?
