I've spoken with some guys near me running the panhard and said they wouldn't do it again. They are running 35s and 6" or so, they swapped from aftermarket watts to the panhard and to them they felt the truck was less stable on off camber stuff and the gains were minimal. Both guys are planning on going to a 4-link setup next...which is much more involved than most are willing to go and don't believe there is adequate room to do so with the amount of lift most of us run..

 

Interesting. I could see that....I wonder if custom, extra long sway bar links in the rear would help that? I don't understand suspension geometry enough to know .

 

I think the extended watts or a custom extended watts is the way to go unless 4 linking it. No way a panhard with longer sway links is going to outperform an extended watts or be worth the money to do so as the gain would be minimal.

 

I agree, My father's discovery build has a 6" lift on 33"s. He went with a Panhard at first, then replaced it with rovertyms watts linkage. Driving his disco feels a bit excessive and most likely would result in a disco pancake for what I'm doing nor do I have the amount of expendable cash to copy it.

 

I’ve thought the same with the rover and it seems outside of the standard spring/spacer lifts your best bet will be custom fabrication. the aftermarket on these discos isn’t quite what it is for jeeps. I think that a cantilever system would allow you to run long travel shocks without have to cut holes in the cargo area. I am no expert have no experience with this and it looks expensive. Here’s a Jeep with a cantilever setup on the rear axle, looks awesome!
