I built my watts link for the same reason. I wanted to run a 275 tire in the back of my falcon. A panhard bar gave too much lateral travel. The watts link is great. With roller bearing like Fays offers you should have no problem running that as a daily driver. I would do everything possible to keep the bearing clean and prevent dirt/water getting into them. If you use rodends on the links I would use 'seals it' dust covers.

Good luck with your build and post up some pictures.

Just giving this more thought.....is your rear suspension a triangulated 4-link? If so you will have two roll centers fighting against eachother. Which would cause bind.
