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

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
