Thread: Longer panhard rod for lift

I assume so, as my axel is sitting about 30mm further over to the drivers side. When you stand in front of the vehicle, you can see that it's obvious that the front wheels are not center.

A 2" lift needs roughly an extra 15mm by my measurements.

As the chassis goes up the axle swings across and so needs to be pushed back.

My vehicles got 4"'s of lift and the axel is roughly 30mm+ over.

I run an RTE in mine, the rose joint bolts straight up.

You will be old and grey waiting on APT to do anything for you.

Looking at the RTE site they want yours back as an exchange so they are obviously a modified unit, but it looks like they have cut one end and threaded for a rod end. Is there any extension to it?

You just pay the $50 and you don't have to send yours in. The threaded end is where you gain the extra length. I have about 5" of lift and its only about 3/4" wound out

So in other words, lop the end off. Thread for a suitably sized rod end and profit.

If you look at the above picture, they have also put an S curve in the rod. My standard rod is completely straight.
