Re: How to Adjust Panhard Bar?

Easy peasy! Install it when you install your other lowering components. Measure from the back of your hub to a common spot on your frame for each side and do your best to center it. Depends on what type of panhard bar you have. Mine has to be removed from the axel side to adjust it which.makes it kind of a pain. I had to use tow straps to "position" the rear end and then reinstall the bar. Other panhard bars just adjust at a coupling like your tie rods. Your fresh new coils will settle, so you'll want to check your measurements after 6 weeks or so. Hope this helps!

Re: How to Adjust Panhard Bar?

Put your new springs and shocks in first and set the truck back on its feet (or on jack stands under the trailing arms) to see where your at. Either way, you'll need to jack it back up to pull your u bolts to install the bracket for the bar. There'll be some trial and error, so hang in there.

pull the u-bolts for the bracket? i didnt think there was a bracket with the bar. thought it was just a beefed up bar.

I didnt get the "Super trac bar" just the standard one.

Re: How to Adjust Panhard Bar?

My mistake. Thought you got the "super track bar". Same process...minus the u bolt part.
