How much tire room to leave for a panhard setup?

I'm running Porterbuilt trailing arms and panhard bar with F9000 bags on a truck that lays frame. I'm wondering how much room to leave between the tires and the side of the box to allow for the arc of the panhard. My plan is to set the bar horizontal at or near ride height. Thanks for any help.

If you are able to set the bar parallel to the ground at ride height, you will get just under half an inch of shift through 5" of travel. In other words, from ride height to full dump it will move less than half an inch to the driver side; and from ride height to full lift it will move less than half an inch to the driver side.
