FS: eimkeith PCK® (Panhard Correction Kits) for 3rd gen $93.50, 4th/5th Gen $98.20

UPDATE - 5th Gen PCK®s available also

UPDATE - you guys can hit me here to order a PCK® (my PM box is getting full, lol!)

These are weld-on bracket kits (one Panhard Lift Bracket and one Panhard Drop Bracket) to correct the angle of the panhard bar on 2-4.5" lifts, designed in response to a thread on T4R.org.



The axle-end (lift) bracket is cut from 3/16" plate to match the thickness of the factory mount and contoured for easy alignment to the existing axle mount with minimal fitting:

The lift bracket raises the axle-end of the panhard bar 2 inches by itself, without interfering with the frame under full flex with factory bumpstops in place.





The drop bracket is selectable for 2, 3 and 4 inch lift heights and is cut from .120" plate to match the thickness of the factory mount.



It is contoured for slide-over alignment with the existing frame mount with minimal fitting, using the factory pivot bolt hole for proper location. The drop bracket also includes two 3mm hardened steel spacers to retain the factory mount inner diameter.

The Panhard Correction Kit returns the panhard bar to horizontal (per original design), eliminates the need for an aftermarket adjustable panhard bar to recenter the axle, and in most cases (up to 4 inches of lift) raises the roll center for improved handling (4-4.5 inch lift maintains the roll center of an adjustable panhard.)



The kit is $93.50 shipped to addresses within the continental US (PM me for shipping costs outside of CONUS, currently shipping to Canada is +$40 )

Send me a PM with your email address and shipping address if you want one - I'll send out a Paypal invoice for the kit.

Awesome idea. Will part of the kit work with a exciting drop bracket?

yes - the addition of the axle-side lift portion can help minimize some of the issues caused by your existing drop bracket by helping to raise the roll center (the roll center is lowered with a drop bracket, so you should use as little drop as possible in conjunction with a lift bracket.)

Can you purchase only the lift bracket or is this a lift and drop kit only?

The kit includes both, to accommodate lifts from 2-4.5 inches (although it certainly helps 5+ also)

Subbed. I'll need this in a couple months when it gets warm enough to work on things.

These really helped tame my body roll and improved the overall handling of my runner. Bump for a well thought out product that got my panhard level. No more beeping from the vsc!

Hmm, I wonder if these will work with my 80 panhard rods. Let me compare the pics. Looks like a great product.

Thanks!

Looks great! I may have to get this whenever I get around to lifting mine. ��

Quick question: It appears you can still mount in the factory holes, say if you ever wanted to ditch the lift and return to stock height. True?

Couldn't these work for a 4th gen? I need them for my 3rd and 4th gen rig.

not sure; I haven't had the opportunity to look at a 4th Gen in person - but if you decide to try it, please let us know!

Dude! [MENTION=120071]mtbtim[/MENTION]

These are awesome!

I don't know how I missed these. Super appreciating you getting these for us! You're a great friend dude. I can't wait to weld these on. I think this means we're in for another video & some serious props to the OP

[MENTION=28464]eimkeith[/MENTION] ... did you guys learn anything from the welding process? I.e. Did you have to remove the drivers side spring in order to appropriately weld that side?... or was there plenty of room to weld in that area?

These look like a very nice product. How do these brackets change the path of the driveshaft as the suspension articulates?

Right now I have barely any clearance between my driveshaft and Shrockworks gas tank skid plate (And this is the "redesigned" one that I had to use a grinder on to get just enough clearance...)

Next run ships in 2 weeks! - get in queue if you need a set...!

- and thanks everyone, for your support for this effort. This forum breeds smart mods for our 3rd gens.

The panhard being realigned actually pushes the axle back towards the tank. Some have mentioned they still had contact after leveling but in a different location on the skid.
