So does the $175 include the Adjustment tool and mounting hardware?

Do you offer both the Red and Black?

Can't wait to see what you do w/ the parking brake cable on yours when you install the Spohn.

No adjustment tool is needed, just basic hand tools. Also, my OE hardware was re-used.

*edit* OP beat me to it, haha.

I'm trying to get some better solutions for mine so I'd really appreciate a couple pics. As you know, the removal of the OE panhard bar also removes all the brackets that secure the cable and I'm trying to find something besides zip ties or hose clamps.

im doing this to recenter the rear axle under the truck and give it a better feeling around corners. Im running the bars on my trailblazer ss and with the swaybar made the truck handle like on rails.

im selling the 22s as soon as the truck gets here since I have 24s. Truck has only 9 miles on it

Ok cool. Is the rear axle that far off to need recentering, and can you elaberate on "better feeling around corners"?

Well starters rear swaybar im going with djm

2nd the stock rubber bushings have give on these trucks changing to the bar i listed will just make the rear end handle that much better.

My next step is the upper/lower a arms in the rear also. Im getting a whipple 2300 for the escalade so need to be able to put power to ground.

Oh, aight. So, just to answer one more for me :) For my "stock" truck, the new panhard would not be worth it alone? I should wait till I supercharge the avy and get the whole spohn rear adjustable kit?

the rear end shifts on these trucks when you lower them. If it doesnt bother you and your happy way it feels just leave it as is.

When you supercharge the back you will want the complete spohn set up along with the rear bear. Will really dial the back in.

Is the Spohn a good idea for any level of lowering, or only needed after a certain amount (mine is an 07 Autoride Sub lowered 2/3)? I too would be interested in seeing the final install pics and how you deal with the cables attached to the OEM bar.

Hey Tony,
Are you going to sell the SPOHN upper and lower A arms for the escalade? The last time i inquired about the A arms, its not set up for vehicles with air ride. On another note i'm very satisfied with the company's adjustable pan hard bar. Also i think its about that time for me to change shock/struts, what's your recommendation for a 2008 Escalade? I'm leaning towards the ARNOTTs replacement shocks/struts.

JSCALADE, Does the new panhard really make your truck ride a lot better? Feel any different?

on the esky you cant do it ... well you can but you would need to tack weld the mount to the upper. The lower arm you can use though.

on the rear if you want to get rid of autoride use a 10 or 15k resistor and that will trick the rear sensors and you can just do the belltech shocks.

ill see how low I end up going. For now I will just do the spinldes and rear my kit and go from there. if i decide to go lower ill prob do the 3 inch djm upper/lower

Diz,
Handling wise, it works well with my current set up. I have the Belltech 2/3 kit, eibach sways and other things. It's night and day difference compared to stock. I'm impressed with how easy i can center the axles by using a wrench without lifting the truck up. The finish of the product is pretty good, very little sign of deterioration even with Germany's weather and road conditions. (the germans put a lot of salt on the ground).
Tony,
Will take take care of any lights on the dash? Can i do this on the front also? I have heard of people going this route but still gathering information on which route to take.
