Is my panhard bar holding me down?

[cstmg8]

I've read all the threads and plan to buy an adjustable, possibly a drop bracket to go with it. My question is I installed my superflex rear coils and Rough Country shocks from wheelers., but I did not get the lift I was expecting.
Is the stock panhard bar holding me down some in the rear?
97 limited.
I'll get pics and measurements when I get a chance

No the stock panhard bar will not lower ride height.

Instead of an adjustable panhard a member makes a weld in drop and lift that will level and realign the stock panhard bar.

Superflex coils with some rear weight will net about 3.5" unless you have a lot of weight like a rear tire carrier and bumper.

It isn't holding you down, but you should still 'reset' all the bushings in the back when you change static ride height. Loosen and re-tighten the bolts on all 5 links back there... Otherwise you are holding all of the bushings under constant tension, causing premature wear.

Thanks for this, didn't think about it, but makes sense.

I have basically no extra weight. Stock spare, two recaro child seats. I'll get pics up in the daylight tomorrow. It's just not as much as I expected superflex to bring me up from worn out 97 springs.
I'm happy with it, it just seems like my Wheelers t-1s gave me more in front.
