I'm not sure ... but I think the Cal-Tracs are like ladder bars.

What do you mean by side to side movement?

What kind of mods were made to drop the truck?If your truck has a stiffened ride to avoid bottoming it won't matter what kind of traction bars you run as the only suspension travel is from the flex in the tires.

Below is a quote from travis at caltracs when I emailed them to ask if they have any set-up instructions for their bars.
