Rear Lift Question-Panhard bar

[TNRunner99]

I've got a '99 with Toytec Superflex coils and Toyota LC Black Tokico shocks as my rear setup. No other mods to the rear end other than that. My driver's side sits at 3.5 in of lift and is right where I want it. The passenger's side is sitting at 3.25 in of lift.
By not having the adj panhard bar or a drop bracket be causing the passenger's side to pull downwards and sit lower?
I've been thinking of getting the Toytec adj panhard bar. Good choice? Easy install and easy to adjust?
Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yeah I know about the spacers and have considered them, I just don't want to fight the rear coil springs again. I'm just wondering if the panhard bar could be the issue and a new one a possible fix. The coil springs should sit even without spacers, as thats how toytec designed them to. Plus if it helps the rear axle tracking, I guess that would be great (I don't know how bad mine is off because I haven't/not sure how to measure it).

Did you measure with a full tank of gasoline. You should have some one sitting in the drivers seat too. With weight on that side, it will level out.

Pan hard bar might have a little bit of resistance(pulling it down, but highly unlikely) but that can be reseted by loosening the mounting bolts and tightening back up while the truck is sitting on the ground.

I would go with the drop bracket first, unless there is something wrong with you panhard bar. Although it isn't needed, and some people never straighten out the bar, I would recommend getting at least the bracket.

A quarter inch off isn't much if you measured without a driver and a full tank. What is your front set up, I adjusted my coilovers to make my rear as level as possible.

The front is Toytec adj coilovers (Bilsteins with 600lb springs). The front was 35" ground to fender when stock. They are set at 38" now and the front sits even.

I agree with the spacer suggestion.... I'd like to do this with mine as well....

You can raise your passenger side coilover to get the truck to sit more even, or slip in one of those spacers. I would still recommend the panhard bar drop, but it shouldn't be your problem. Let us know what works for you.

Thanks for the input. I'm looking at an adjustable bar from Toytec. May put that in and play with it from there. Then I will see about the spacer.

Spacer would be a lot cheaper option and its really not that hard to get the coil back out.

The panhard bar is not effecting the ride height, the idea is to have the panhard bar straight to keep the axle centered. Having a long uneven bar will put the axle in the middle of the truck, but will throw off the geometries while flexing.
