I recently had my '02 4runner sport liften with the 2 1/2" daystars spacers. I have heard that the panhard bar is too short, and the rear tires kind of shift to the right of the truck. I can tell by looking that the bar is not level, and I think I may notice a slight shift in the tires to the right. I ordered new rims, with a smaller backspacing, and I think it may be easier to tell once I put these on. I was wondering how many people have a panhard extension, and if it is really reccomended? It is only $150 but I was wondering if it is worth it to do or if it won't really matter too much? Thanks,

Thanks, I figured it was going to be needed, The truck shimmys something terrible at around 75 mph and up, thinking this was most likely the problem since it was recently aligned.

I have the whole new SS panhard bar with built in drop. I love it, so easy to install and a big difference in it's offroad ability, no more rubbing in the rear and the rear drive shaft doesn't hit the gas tank any longer. Get a hold of Steve and get yourself one.

Definitely do the drop bar/bracket.

Any ideas on a good way to paint this bar? Im thinking good old rustoleum. Powdercoat might not be such a good idea with the bushings.

Rustoleum, I have the hook up on powdercoating and it was still gonna cost a good bit, it's much simplier and quikcer to just rattle can the thing and touch up when needed, mines been on 3 trips since install and not a single scratch.

awesome, thats what I figured, the rustoleum on my rear shackle wore off the first time I towed somebody out of the mud, but this bar wont really see much action, so I should be straight. Thanks!
