Just for anyone reading this, and perhaps this is answer in the next 50 pages I haven't read, no, sumo springs or air bags do not perform the same function as a trac bar.
A trac bar is an axle location device. The springs on the rear of the F53 chassis are all that locates the rear axle. By design they can allow the rear axle to move a little side to side. The trac bar (another name, panhard bar) restricts this side to side motion.
The sumo springs are basically supplemental springs. They are more comparable to airbags.
