Adjustable Panhard Bar Options

[drdave81]

I'm planning on a 2/4 drop this spring, starting to collect parts now. I know Spohn has an adjustable panhard bar, but saw that Rocket Man said there is hardly any clearance for the diff cover. He installed a QA1 bar, but I wasn't able to tell if it was adjustable or not. Their site doesn't even show one available. Are there any other companies or is Spohn about it? I haven't had any issues with their stuff on my old F body, just like knowing what my options are.

You should be fine with the spohn panhard bar. I lowered my rear with the TB springs and have the spohn bars on mine and haven’t had an issue.

If you plan to keep the stock diff cover then the Spohn bar works good. If you want a bigger cover or a different axle like a 14bolt I suggest the QA1 bar however its not adjustable.

That's right, I forgot the QA1 panhard bar was because of the TA girdle.

Correct. If you are going to use the stock dif cover. You'll have no issues. I am lowered 1.5 / 4. No issues. Love the panhard bar.

Just realized, I don't have a good shot of the panhard bar. The spare tire needs to go too. just added that to the things to do list.

Thanks, I ordered the Spohn adjustable bar.

What sway bar links are those? Are they shorter than stock? I'm trying to find some shorter ones that aren't the DJM offset ones.

They are Hotchkis sway bar end links. They are shorter for the lowered applications

Hellwig makes an adjustable rear end links too; that's what I have.

Yessir. If you want a girdle and still need an adjustable bar I heard Spohn will make you one with the bend like the QA1, they have a form to fill out for a custom one. Not sure what it costs.
I’m lowered 4” in the rear but my tires are centered side to ride within 1/4” so it wasn’t worth it to me to move things 1/8” over.
