Panhard bar : 33 3/4" long 2" bushings
RLTA: 22" long, 2 1/2" bushings
Both center to center or eyelets.

I extended out panhard bar with tahoe in the air, and just had to readjust to get axle center. Took 2 times to get it center with wheels on ground. jack,up, readjust, jack down. Only downfall to these bars, not "oncar" adjustable, have to remove bushing to adjust.

Good to hear you got it fixed. I had same problem before, but just busted out the grinder. Lol

I kniw some people are having noise issues too, and hopefully this all helps.
Now my noise seemed to be coming from front and rear. My wife and I would sware we culd hear it up front and woukd feel it in our feet. After repkacing all front end parts, and not fixing priblem, I moved to the back to diagnose. The axle being off center, cause panhard bar, was causing RLTAs to be pushed over at an angle causing binding, pinching aomething to "pop" on forward bracket on feame. So when it would "pop", you could feel it thru frame and under feet. After much diagnosing I was able to hear and see it was RLTAs. Now, wuld panhafd bar have fixd problem?maybe. But I got all new bars all around to gaurantee a fix. And it did. Anyone with same issues shuld diagnose first, but hopefully push u in right direction. Hope it helps

thanks gonna order mine today cause that popping noise is annoying. according to there website 2.5" is the smallest bushing they have then they go up to 3" so im just gonna get the 2.5"

2 1/2" Wont fit for panhard bar! Stock size is 2" , so unless u want to make new brackets I would order 2" bushings. You just gotta call them and let em know what u want.

My popping is exactly the same. You can feel it up front, but like you I replaced everything up front.

Do you think that we could call suicidedoors and give them your name and they would still have all the specs?

I appreciate this write up, the popping is aggravating.

ya most annoying fng thing! Have a nice lookin ride, n still be called a clunker! Lol
I talked with Ricky Fontanillis when placed order and thru out emails. So he may still remember me, probably easy that way, shuld still have dimenaions they just made em.

 

[prosts1003]

i ordered them earlier today and just sent him an email to see if they can change the bushing size . they said it was gonna be 2-3 weeks before they can get them out so i will be sitting here waiting patiently for them to get here. thanks again for the sizes and for the thread so i can put an end to that dang popping noise.

Not sure if I made sense when I replied. I lengthened out panhard before installing, with tacar on stands, lowered ride down, drove around alittle, then checked centering of axle/wheels. I had to adjust the bar to get axle centered when vehicle was on level ground. Ended up putting bar out only 1/4" from stock.
