I have been admiring your's for a while now. I want a set when they are finished, $125 + shipping? to Albuquerque. Aren't they about 6lb each? That doesn't include the shackle right? What size do they take? I will wait for quality. Let me know when they are ready.
Is there any possibility that you will be making any more panard bar drop brackets?

$125, is just a pair of powder coated hangers, no shcakles. The shackles they use are the Warn 3/4". They weigh in at 15 pounds for a pair. There is so much steel there it is crazy. That is what people do not understand. You could lift the entire truck up with one of these. Professonaly welded by the best in AZ as well. No hack work.
9 pairs to begin with, 2 to Tellurinde, 1 to me as a keepsake. How many do you want? Call em now people.

Will I notice a difference with the brackets...I mean, are they essential for keeping problems down with my CV Boots etc...
Some people do the diff drop spacer. Do I need anything at all? Talk to me Goose...

Use the PanHard bracket kit to recenter the rear axle, have your rear spring seats correctly alligned, and more rear flex since the rear panhard bracket is level.
Your call.

Gadget, Jeff the Marmot, Darren, Sparman, Wild Bill, AZ Rain, Xtreme-OffRoad, PhilR and about 30 others run my PanHard kit.

A day at the :beach: 'eh?
Steve, if you ever make a 2nd gen panhard drop bracket, I'd probably be in the market for one.
I have tried to get Downey to just sell it by itself, but they won't offer it unless you buy the 1.5" spacer pucks too, along with the extended sway bar end links.

If you guys are serious about the PanHard brackets e-mail me. It may be a while before I make more or you can always try to make one yourself if you have a drill press and metal band saw.

All of the force is on the pin anyway.

With the other solution, it would have to shear right through that pin to get moving...so it's still the "best" option.
Just my 2-cents.

Well yes and no. The pin in receiver method puts bending force on the pin and in the very slim chance that it bends getting it out might pose a problem. With the receiver shackle setup the pin is now in shear as it was designed to be. Now the weak point moves to the shackle, which in most cases is more than strong enough.
