cheap panhard fix with 5 inch drop

my c-10 drove ok with the first 3 inchs of drop after adding the 2 inch blocks having about 5 total it didnt feel right on the road.I measured and found my rear was 3/4 of and inch off to one side.So cut the panhard or trac bar center the rear, lengthen and straightened out the severe upward angle of the bar.
Long day too tired to go for a test ride tonight Il let you all know if it works tomorrow,,jim

Re: cheap panhard fix with 5 inch drop

That's probably going to let the rear walk around because now it's on a lever..
