I'm not sure I understand the engineering either, but it seems like there shouldn't be a difference between a bent rod and a straight rod. The distance between the pivot points on the axle and on the panhard bracket should be exactly the same in either case, if the axle is centered under the vehicle. If you compared the length of a straight bar and the length between the two heims on a bent bar (in a straight line, ignoring the s-curve, they should be the same). As far as drop bracket versus a lengthened bar (S or straight), there is a difference due to the upper pivot point being lowered by three inches relative to the stock location. Does this make sense or is am I talking out my ass? I've yet to anything after the lift, but am thinking about a longer rod at the moment (huh, huh huh huh, huh, I said "rod").

The geometry is pretty straightforward about hypotenuse extension, but there seems to be more than that. There is roll axis and another thing that escapes me that also influence how the truck wheels and does or does not rub.
I would drop it to get it in the ball park and then see what added length would do.

- A Rubicon SuperFlex Joint ?
- An OEM Uper Arm ?
- An AP Upper Arm ?
- A custom upper arm ?
I'm a little slow.

Yeah, I have Spidertrax arms. I have been without reliable computer for a while.
I have an upper arm with one heim in and a bung for another heim that would be perfect for this operation. I did not use it because I needed a bent arm on one side.

I think I’m interested (pending above questions), but I am extremely tied up at work for the next 2 weeks and busy making necessary mods for a trip in 3 weeks. May be a little slow in response. What do you want for it?
Thanks all for the Interim responses

It lacks one heim to make it complete. We had to rob the heim to go in the bent arm.
The arm I was offering, looking left to right, goes as follows:
Heim, bung, tube, bung, nothing.
If you want/need it, I will dig it up and check to see if the one is right or left hand thread and advise you accordingly.
