I'm sure this may have been addressed b4, but anywho, will a Spohn adjustable panhard bar at least help with my "chevy lean"? Currently have belltech spindles and coil springs up front, outback new redesigned belltech TB coil springs (thanks Tony), djm calmax shocks and extenders, rear djm hardware kit, airlift helper bags (60748}, plus free travel mod. Drivers side is 1/4" lower in front and 3/8" lower in rear. The truck has been lowered about 3 months now, plenty of time to settle. All suggestions are much appreciated.

I've noticed it leans the same tank full or empty. It's something I can live with, but if something as easily installed and as cheap as a panhard bar can help correct, then I would love to spend the $ on one.

Easiest fix IMO would be to route your helper bags separate so you can adjust pressure in each one to compensate for the lean

I thought about that, but I don't want 30-40 lbs in one side and none in the other. Plus the size bags I have are like 6" tall, I doubt they'll lift the truck at all. I just use em for bump cushion. Like I mentioned earlier it's not that big of a deal for me, but maybe I'll trim a 1/2" or so off the pass. rear coil. Was just hoping an adjustable panhard would do the trick.

I'm considering pulling or cutting the right rear spacer to see if that helps anything...

My lovely wife of 6 years is too damn small to affect the truck in any way. Ha ha ha! Thx mani do get a lot of compliments on the avy after I lowered it. And it rides really nice on the TB coils. I also got in an accident 2 weeks ago. Trailer hitch through the center of my bumper. Ugh! Guy cut me off, slammed on his brakes, then took off. Pissed me off! But now after my deductible, I got my truck all fixed and asked my buddy who owns the body shop to do me a couple of favors while he had it. Completely blacked out the front end, painted rear bowtie, removed all chrome emblems, brush touched some rock chips around the whole truck, then polish and buffed the entire truck. She's a real black beauty now.
