I ordered a panhard drop a long while back. The issue isn't with the actual drop itself though. After installing, I welded the drop bracket to the oem bracket like so many before me have suggested. After a while I noticed the weld broke. Nothing wrong with the welds as the part that broke was above the welds where it met the factory bracket. After inspecting it a little further it would appear that I over tightened the top bolt which caused the drop bracket to pinch the oem bracket. Easy to do with an impact and not noticing. Being that the oem bracket is so thin, after a while of offroad usage, it appeared to crack. That being said, I don't feel there is anything wrong with your product, however I feel as if there was a bolt spacer to go in between the oem bracket over tightening would not be a problem.
Again, this problem was user created and not yalls fault. I'm just trying to bring awareness to those to either not over tighten the top bolt or for yall that maybe there could be a bolt spacer in the kit to eliminate any risk for that.
Thanks,
J
