What is the Panhard drop brackets purpose?
I have never really looked to deep into what the purpose of the PHDB is. I did a search but can only find threads showing pics or members telling others to get it. But what does it do? Who makes them & for how much? Im all about buying something new if it will assist me in one way or another. Blue

When you lift, it shifts your axle to the passenger side because the Panhard rod ends up at an angle. Dropping it, levels it back out, and in so doing, recenters your axle.

Yeah, the dshaft hits the gas tank on 2nd gens too.
BBB, I'd think that with your lift kit you would already have a panhard drop or lift or adjustable panhard. I'm not sure though as I haven't looked into lift kits too much.
