Adjustable Rear Panhard Rod - did you actually need it?

[Crikeymike]

Just looking for some info here from those of you running adjustable rear panhard rods.

We've noticed that even with 3.0" of lift, the rear axle still really isn't off center, so it hasn't been needed. We sell one, but pretty rarely for that reason.

So for those that are already running one, these would be my questions:
1. What lift height are you running?
2. How much load/weight are you running?
3. Did you take measurements before hand to see if the axle was off center?
4. Was the panhard rod purchased for upgraded strength?


Thanks guys. Collecting this info could also help others in the future from not-needing to spend the money on buying one.

I run metaltech 4x4 progressive LT springs (heavies) and 2.5" LT Radflos, which total about 3" of lift even with my storage drawers full of crap (~150lbs extra weight total). I did not take any before measurements, but the axle was noticeably off centre.
Previous to getting an adjustable panhard bar, I put on an adjustable 4-link to improve my pinion angle and centre the wheels in the wheel wells front to back. The panhard bar was cheap and seemed like an easy way to add strength over the stock unit, though the stock one is supposed to be plenty strong enough to do its job from what I've been told
