Panhard bar / track bar question
So at what point in a lift do you need to do some modifications to the track bar/panhard bar?
I am looking into the OME 3 inch lift kit and I dont see one with a tack bar bracket, but I see that the Sonoran kit has an adjustable bar.
I dont do that serious of offroading so I dont think I would get any benefit out of the adjustable bar.
Also, brake lines - I have no idea about that. DO they need to be extended?
Thanks

It becomes an alignment issue with the rear axle, left to right, and causes premature failure of bushings if not addressed. I would say anything over 2" needs a drop bracket or adjustable bar, regardless of how you drive it.

Go with the adjustable bar for Sonora Steel. Its very easy to install, just set the length per the amount of lift and bolt it in and it has excellent construction.
I recently had my runner aligned and the tech noticed it immediately because he sees allot of lifted runners but very few address the issues with the traction bar and stuffer from broken shocks and shock mounts.
