:A truck arm suspension uses 2 I-beam section links that mount wide at the axle and close together at the frame.  This suspension was originally used on ____ trucks and is now used in NASCAR.  This arrangement is over constrained and relies on deflection of the links and bushings in order for the body to roll.  Because of this it acts like a build in anti-roll bar however the rate can not be adjusted without replacing the arms.  A Panhard bar is traditionally used for lateral restraint.
