Leaf spring tundra sas
 
I searched and couldn’t find any good info on this so maybe this forum can help. I’m almost done with a sas conversation on my 2006 tundra I’m running 63” Chevy spring on the front and I was told that I really need a pan hard bar on it. Does anyone have any experience with this, I’ve only went on a few short test drives with it so far and I haven’t noticed any issues from not having it.

Who built the steering link?

Who and why did they said you needed a panhard bar?

you are only running shackles up front correct?
no expert but it seems like a panhard is usually only used on coil spring suspensions though there are kits available to lead spring trucks.

my SAS is fine with out a panhard but my springs are only 47" long so it might be related to your long springs

you might try pirate.

I built the steering link, it’s a solid and doesn’t flex at all if that’s what you were wondering. The truck drives fine as it is but a friend of mine who has built a lot of hiboy fords says he would put a panhard bar on it.

I don't think you need, seems you don't think you need one, tundra drives fine why use one?

Thanks, I’ve never done a sas before and just want to make sure everything is safe and works well.

I decided the truck was to tall so I lowered it, added a panhard bar and had to build a new drag link. It drives great now, for the first time since I’ve owned it I can take both hands off the wheel running 75-80mph.
