there is really no way to lengthen the panhard as there will be no room for mounts.... it is actually just fine now we have cycled the suspension and there is no side to side movement and no binding of any sort....

ya I am sure we could have moved it over about an inch but really thats not going to make much of a difference... the axle is in there and not moving regardless so I am not too concerned on the length... as for the steering shaft we have modified the ranger part for the time being until I can come up with something better... it seems to work now however it needs a pillow block or some sort of side to side support as there are too many u joints in there and its kinda shaky... thats on the to-do list for tonight along with the drag link and fine tuning the links...

ya were doing it in my shop... havent taken many pics of the steering as its not finished yet... I will snap some of the steering tonight when i get the drag link built and figure out what were gonna do with the shaft situation.... he has the rear driveline extended sitting in the shop ready to install tonight and I have no idea what his plans are for the front shaft

I agree about the trac bar... It may not appear to move side to side, but it does, trust me... when the axle moves up, the trac bar gets flatter and pushes the axle toward the pass. side. Droop moves the axle towards the driver side. Steering links are going to be a little complicated/goofy because the drag link needs to be parallel with the trac bar or you will have bad bump steer. Just saying... as long as you are happy with it, its all good. If you don't like how it drives, you can always cut it off and change it. BTW, you definitely NEED a BIG sway bar lol. Look into adapting one from an explorer or something. They are nice and thick.

Its impossible to have no side to side movement with a panhard.
