Panhard bracket or adjustable rods was created by Bigjim91
I desperately need adjustable panhard rods, I have a 2" suspension lift and soon to have 2" spacers aswell, I'm a bit unsure what this panhard rod repositioner bracket is all about? Am I going to need one of these on the rear? And I also read one of these would prevent the Jimny lean that I have? True, false anyone know?
Info greatly appreciated

I've got that bracket on mine and still needed adjustable panhard rods with my 3 inch lift :)

As far as I understand it that bracket is to keep the panhard as level as possible when the suspension has been lifted.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thankyou! Do you need one at the front aswell? Though I noticed you can't buy a front one just rear

Do you need prop spacers when doing this lift?

Just get adjustable rods.

Those brackets are just a budget bodge if you ask me. You'll get the rear axle back to center after a 2" lift with a bracket, but you can't put one up front, because that would mess up the steering geometry(at least in theory...). So they do nothing else than center the axles after the lift, but the adjustable rods just do it better. Also, when you get adjustable panhards, not only you get the axles centered, but also you'll get much beefier rods over those stock "straws". :)

you know what i mean..............

the only thing i can see wrong is you are limited to the spacing on the bracket

say its 2" between the centers then no good for a 4" lift

as you would need 4" centers

dont quote me on that
