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,
Jason

 

do it, get the one from sonoran steel, you wont regret it

 

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.

Thanks, greatly appreciated, Im gonna order the front shackle hangers, and the drop bar today. Thanks again

 

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!
