5" drops and panhards???
so I ordered a set of cpp 5" rear drop springs from summit today, and an adjustable panhard bar, but now I'm not sure if I got the right panhard bar. I ordered this one...
http://www.summitracing.com/parts/wst-316572 I was reading somewhere that if you drop x-amount of inches you have to move the panhard bar location... please advise

Re: 5" drops and panhards???
That's the correct one. You also need a shock relocator kit.

Re: 5" drops and panhards???
I have a 7" rear drop and use that exact same trac bar. You will be just fine.

Re: 5" drops and panhards???
I got the 5" rear drop kit from Early Classic, and the kit came with longer bar and separate mount for between the axle and the arm stating a 5" drop with standard length /location panhard would offset the rear. Also, as stated the shocks came with a relocating kit stating the drop will cause stock location of shocks will bind.
