Re: 12" lift for front of 72 blazer?
Got it. Sorry for the long, unrelated response.
If your set-up works now, don't change anything. People have been running leafs w/o panhards for years. We just now know that its better to have one. Look at 87-03 F250/F350. They have flat, stiff springs. They have a panhard. If you do install a panhard, you may see more responsive steering and less bump-steer. No, I would not spend the money to build it if you don't need it. Once you have one, you may realize that you did need one. |

Re: 12" lift for front of 72 blazer?
I just though of something dumb. Unless you have cross over steering, DO NOT put a panhard on. That will make the axle cycle completely different than the steering.

Re: 12" lift for front of 72 blazer?
Interesting. I'll bite. I believe that you can have a freakin' awesome crawler that handles on the street (handles like a race car, no). Simple as that. Run a panhard or don't, I don't care.
It is my opinion that the panhard is absolutely necessary with that much lift. Drive away? Okay, done. |
