2nd Gen Adjustable Panhard bar
I am tired of having my passenger rear tire stick out....I have searched with very little info.
Does anyone make an adjustable panhard bar for our trucks other that Steve S. ?? I don't think he even does...
What other way can I center my rear diff??
Here is a pic of my current setup..

Do you have a drop bracket on the panhard bar (can't tell from the picture)?
If not, that is an option:

Looks like you either need a longer bracket (bar should be ~horizontal) or find someone that can cut the existing bar and weld in an extension to lengthen it or try something like this:

marc you have cruiser coils correct? i have the OME 901 coils that dont lift it as much and i do not have a drop bracket, even though i dont have 4" of lift would that bracket work for me? as i sit now if i flex the rear at all the driveshaft digs into the gas tank skid plate and makes horrednious noises. sorry if this is a highjacker.

I think everybody here has seen my views on panhard brackets and axle position, so I won't go into that.
Marc, your only solution is to lengthen the panhard.

I'd sell what you already have and switch to leaf springs... https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...8&postcount=15

I agree about switching to leaves too, but I need to plan it and get more $$$
For now I will have a buddy make my panhard bar adjustable....does anyone have pics of how it should look on a 2nd gen?? all I see is 3rd gens..

Marc, I have a custom extended panhard with a heim and stock joint at the axle. Combined with the panhard drop and 5009 shocks, it was the bee's knees.
Somehow my other links disappeared, but that would be a caddy set up.
Let me know if you want it. Need to get some cash out of it, not too much.

One more thing to add...I've got leaves in the back and my driveshaft still hits the tanks. Sheared off one of my balancing weights too. But my tank is a little bashed in that area so it might be a little wider than a normal tank.

I have always tought... If you lengthen the bar you solve the axle centering problem when the truck is level at ride height, but when you stuff the PS tire (In a 2nd Gen) you're pushing the axle to the DS more than I'd from stock or with a panhard drop/rise bracket isn't it?

I'm pretty sure you don't have more of an angle on your panhard bar than I do with the Downey coils I bought from you and finally installed. Granted, I don't do any wheeling, so I never notice any interference with my gastank or something like that. I haven't even noticed my rear diff being off center, but now I want to look and see if they are.
