Re: Rear suspension

Re: Rear suspension

If you're running more than 4" drop in the rear you should be using an adjustable panhard bar. This will help you center up the rear end. There are a few vendors here that sell them.

Measure the stock bar length, measure the difference between the two rear tire/wheel well clearance. Set the new bar shorter by 1/2 that amount.

Simplified example:
stock bar = 36"
Drivers side = 1" clearance
Pass. side = 0" clearance

set new bar at 35.5"
