HOw to center the rear axle ?

Im slowly putting in a 2/4 drop on my 68 c10 lwb. I was wondering how you center the rear axle back up with an adjustable panhard bar. I do have to bed off right now would, do i have to have that on in order to have to the correct amount of weight ?

Re: HOw to center the rear axle ?

no need for bed really just have it sitting static measure the difference how far tires r away from frame rails and adjust bar to make tires equidistant from frame rails// a pretty much common sence type of adjustment

i use tyedown ratchet straps to pull rear in desired direction to center it

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
