Pushes rear end over also I have the adjustable upper and lower arms which push axle back ton recenter it

Does it shift so much that it is necessary? At which drop does it get so far out of place that you need it?

When I installed my panhard bar after my 2 "- 4" drop the rear was shifted almost 2" towards the right.

There's a reason I put it as a option on all my kits with 3 or more drop. Deff needed

How is it adjusted? Is the rod threaded with a lock nut or something? Just install it, turn it until rear end is centered and then lock nut in place?

What is the ride like with the panhard and sway bar? Firm or like stock but with better handling?

The truck rides sold but nothing like back breaking. I designed my own springs that's why rides well

The panhard and sway made no difference in the ride quality from when she was just dropped.

I honestly didn't even notice a difference.

When I lowered mine the rear end only moved a half inch towards the passenger side, im curious how others are getting a movement of up to 2" when lowering? Panhard rod brought it all back in specs.

I didn't take any measurements before she was lowered, so I can't comment on how much movement was due specifically toward lowering the rear 4". When I installed the Panhard bar and took the measurements to center the axle she was shifted 1-7/8" towards the passenger side. I would assume there is a variance from the factory.

I couldn't resist it anymore and had to throw on my 22" wheels after lowering 4/6. The 20's I run for winter are killing me, plus its gonna be almost 65 on Christmas so no snow yet.

You had to do trimming and your fender well mod to not getting any rubbing on your drop.

I wanna go 4-6 but I'm afraid my 24's would rub :(

Idk what tire size your have but a 295/35/24 or even 295/30/24 would require Some minor trimming on a 4/6. Had a 04 with a 5/7 on 285/45/22 (very very similar to 295/35/24) and didn't have very much rubbing

Also OP loving the truck on those 22s!

On my 24's only thing I did was my fenderwell mod aND ran my custom alignment settings.

On 26's I had to do the rear spohn bar kit to move the axle back
