If you only came out 2 years ago.....I'd be shouting "TAAAKE MAAW MOOOOONIEESS PLLZ!!

In any case, a bolt-on option sounds like a great item for people who are squeamish about welding on their axles and/or don't want to deal with the hassle of welding it properly.

I don't know if this will be "stronger" than the weld-on kits to be honest with you; mainly because the bracket is just relying on the clamping force of the lower pan-hard bolt to hold it all together and wedge it against the axle housing. I do agree that it is as strong as the weld-on or factory bracket as it's just enveloping the existing bracket and providing good support for relocating the panhard lower mount.

I personally can't say I have seen/heard many 4th gens, 5th gens, or FJ's breaking their panhard mounts off; but I don't see why it wouldn't be possible given the way it gets strained and misaligned when we lift our vehicles. But the likely failure of the mount would be at the axle housing connection (possibly near/at the welds themselves), it's unlikely you're shearing the bolt and bending the outer tab of the mount outwards given how it's designed and attached. The weld-on kits if welded properly (that's the biggest variable inherent with any weld-on product) should tie-in to the factory mount and reinforce the axle to bracket connection a bit.

Though again, at the end of the day I think the "increases in strength" from either weld-on or bolt-on options is negligible in the grand-scheme. I am totally excited that you have a viable bolt-on option for correcting the panhard misalignment that happens with lifting our vehicles! That's a big win in my book, as you stated earlier, most people don't realize the benefits of doing this (it really should be a step/addition to any decent lift kit IMHO).



I think the best condensed version is this article I stumbled on a while back:
The Panhard Problem | Evil FJ

If you're curious what the actual differences in angles and real-world looks like, there is the thread I made a bit ago showing my install of a weld-on bracket: Panhard Correction Kit Upgrade

seriously though, in the Ford world alot of guys prefer the track bar drop brackets instead of the longer track bars. OEM geometry is desirable, but i guess thats more important on a front end with steering. i'm running a carli bar, and it feels identical to the stock bar with a cheap drop bracket.

I think I will offer a shorty option for the Guys that want to boogie.

I finally lifted my 5gen so now doing some add-ons to get it back to OEM
