Advice/Ideas for a 1st Gen "Budget" Drift Build

So for right now my power is adequate for what I need, but as we all know Pickups have bad weight distribution and the leaf spring suspension is pretty much ineffective for drifting. So ideally the rear end would be four-linked, but I feel like that will be expensive and or challenging to fab up. Is there a cheaper, easier way to either make the rear end handle drifting and corners better, and not sway so much? Is it simply a matter of a sway bar and some stiffer and/or adjustable shocks, maybe? I'm not too sure. I also need to weld the diff or find an lsd that isn't too pricey, or was thinking of just swapping in a new axle, with lsd and disc brakes, which could also have the mounting for struts, but again I can't afford all this at once. Anyway, would appreciate any tips you could offer.
FYI I don't go in for the huge negative cambered wheels for drifting. I'm old school, and its a daily driver, plus I'm not so much drifting for show as I'm drifting while racing. Love racing in the rain especially, since I can't afford new tires once a week. Anyways, like I said I'd appreciate some feedback, thank you

 

There is a guy on here, whom hasn't posted in forever, that did an independent swap from a 240SX. Drifts his 2nd Gen 2TR.

Welding on a panhard bar would be the easiest method of controlling the lateral axle movement. Then sway bar to keep it planted.
