Got my PCK installed at the truck shop in SD.
Fixed these issues:
centered rear axle, due to having a 3+ inch lift, my axle had shifted 1/2 inch passenger side. After install, my axle is now perfectly centered.
Fixed my rear axle bumpsteer or axle hop. I would also get a wobble or butt wiggle when going over freeway expansion joints at over 70 mph. Not very confident inspiring. This was due to having overly stiff springs / oversprung, and having a lift greater than 3 inches in the rear. Now, my vehicle tracks normally.
Driving in soft sand / powder dirt, my rear end would track sideways or fish tail even in 4hi, and i kept getting bogged. This fixed that issue.
panhard is now completely parallel with the axle/ground. Less body roll, less chance of roll over in theory.
Overall, not terribly expensive or time consuming to install. Just find a good welder.
cheers.

I didn't wait to encounter issues before installing one. The small shop that I used to install my lift also installed the PCK, lower link skids, and did a BMC at the same time. As this was my first 4Runner, I did a lot of research before settling on a lift and associated equipment, the PCK was a no brainer.

PCK makes spending hundreds on panhard bars pointless, AND has better geometry. such a great upgrade.

my panhard bar came with the kit, so it was a perfect time to complete the PCK when I upgraded my rear links

Yep, did this too and love it. OP, I like how you smoothed out the welds to make it look more OEM.

to be fair, upgrading the bushings is never a bad thing

so should I even replace my panhard bar?
i'm going to the EimKeith PCK and Treaty Oaks KDSS spacer kit... once everything is installed, would I even need to replace the stock panhard bar?

I have the icon bar and am looking at the PCK as well. Mine with just the adjustable bar is not enough to get everything centered, I know of another KDSS owner that had to do both the PCK and the adjustable bar to really get things aligned. As always, just depends on your 4runner

Wonder if I ever went back to stock ride height, would the pan hard correction bracket still clear at full compression on a 5th Gen? Thanks. Tom
