Like I've always said, the panhard bracket does almost nothing when the truck is just sitting there. Do the geometry math, a 2 inch difference in height does practically nothing. Hell, a 5 inch difference still does almost nothing.

I've got a thread somewhere which shows the math and what is physically happening, even with pictures. In short, your axle came like that from the factory.

Anyway, the panhard drop doesn't completely cure the driveshaft hitting the gas tank with the 5009s. I still rub a little, I don't really care.
