Panhard bar question

I think that's close enough for a weld-on extension...

I'm going to cost these out locally, anyone else need one while I'm at it?

So this is installed on the driver side as a lift? How about lift to frame contact?

yeah, it's just a cleaner version of AssBurns lift bracket, except it gets a full 2 inches - the corner that contacts on his bracket is at the same height as the corner on this one (so it should just touch like his does.)

the UNANSWERED question, as AB posited - is what happens at full compression on both sides (although I'm not sure when this happens, maybe climbing a perpendicular rock face?)

I'm going to go ahead and have metal cut and bent for this for myself - if I have mild contact issues at full stuff, I'll just shim my bumpstops to compensate. (I'm thinking that the roll center and axle centering benefits for 95% of my driving situations outweigh the possibility of nicking the crossmember during 1% of operation on the off-chance that it is an issue.) Since I'm looking at a minimum run cost, the more the merrier to keep this affordable!
 
Im very interested!
Would this center the axle with 3" of lift or would I also need an adjustable panhard bar?
I currently have the toytec drop on the frame side but would rather grind that off and have this on the axle side
 
Would this center the axle with 3" of lift or would I also need an adjustable panhard bar?

I'm new to this, but unless I'm missing something, this would only recenter with 2" of lift - so you'd need the adjustable bar.

(of course, I've been running OME 2" with the stock bar since 2008, so...)

can someone with more experience jump in on this question? :)

I've been meaning to fab up something like this for some time but been to busy so this could be great . Off topic but eimkeith when I see your name this is who I think of .

Damn dude! Now I wish I took the time to make mine look pretty instead of using a piece of material I had laying around. Looks like you have a whole lot of people interested in your design. I'm interested to see how it works out with clearance since it will be a real tight fit. The only times I ever fully bottom out on both bumps, is when I am overloaded and going too fast over the bigger stuff. Looks good so far, but I'd still test fit it at full bump to see where you might make contact, since the first spot it will probably make contact with would be the bushing end of the panhard itself. Also how do you feel about the strength with it only being butt welded all around? The panhard brackets take a lot of force, thats why I made mine sleeve over the existing mount and bolt in place as well as weld all around. I'm sure you can make it look really good and still add more strength where needed.
 
That looks like a really nice design. That's too high of an offset for me. If you can get one that works would you consider making one with less offset for the people with not as much of a lift?
With following the contours, there is plenty of area to weld and it will be very strong. The key is to grind the edges back before placing the weld and it will be golden.
 
Oh shit; that fits beautifully.
I'm interested in one for sure- if priced reasonably.
3-3.5" rise would be good for me.
I'm planning on notching my crossmember to allow max bump, and still keep roll center as high as possible.
