I’m thinking with the lower arms being parallel to each other there would still be some side to side deflection without the watts link.

The triangulation of the wishbone should take care of the side to side. I've had two 3 link(wishbone) trucks, and they were fine.

I could be wrong, but seems like since you're running a wishbone, you shouldn't need the watts link, but I'm no expert.

I wasn't sure, to me the wishbone is basically the top if a triangulation 4link, and I saw alot of thise with a panhard bar or watts link. I really don't know if I need it or not.

I'll also have my bags mounted towards the rear of the frame running cantilever arms to two more mounting points on the axle, would that be overkill for all that and a watts link?

I've only seen panhards or watts links on parallel 4 links. Having the upper and/or lower bars triangulated eliminates, or at least minimizes side to side motion.

With that said, I don't think a watts link would hurt anything, but overkill for sure.

You won't.. lol

I mean, the more I think about it the more that makes sense. I'll do some more digging around in the meantime.

Yeah, I'm not the suspension design guy at all!

Well, since you have a bit more experience with lowered duallies, I thought I would tag you on this. Maybe @modernbeat or @Onizukachan could chime in? Thanks guys!
