diy for me = straight edge touching top and bottom of tire while extending up on fender. measure from fender to edge adjust accordingly.

Then run straight edge above fender and measure from hood edge. If on level surface , plumb bob off the frame

are they? For real though, .5" isn't going to make much of a difference.

Really? Then why bother with an adjustable panhard at all? As you lift the truck the axle pulls drivers side, but not that much. Tom will probably end up only extending the panhard .5"

I agree with the plumb bob on the outside of the frame rails.

I looked on several rover sites and there are plenty of ideas, make it same length as drag link, set on level ground and the springs will line everything up just extend the bar to fit etc.(I did this one)

Yes fish I probly only have the bar extended like 1/2" or so, no my fenders are not bent just looking for better solution then judging off sheet metal

Only did it cause price was good and I may go up an inch later, plus I got a hwy vibration in front wanted to see if this fixed it

But laying under truck I think my pinion angle is more of an issue
