Yeah, Im gettin the dana 60. anywho, I have the stock ride hieght. Is the Panhard relocation brackets needed? I already have the adjustable panhard bar, but could this bracket help too? The panhard is supposed to be level at ride hight, correct? I cant go look at my car, because its so far away, but I was wondering if this is a common thing or not to buy.
Thanks
Cody

 

Ideally you want the panhard to be level. I made my own brackets from square steel tube

 

Homemade boxed brackets for drag application:

ok, so what is the point of lowering both sides? I thought you just lower the car side until the bar is perfectly horizontal?

 

Lowering the phb lowers the rear roll center, improving cornering grip. Requires stiffer springs and swaybar.

 

huh. Well that is pretty cool to know... once I get this bolted in, then Ill have to see how well she corners to see if I should improve upon the design and lower both sides.
Very good info! Thanks!

 

Welding the brackets is recommended, bolt in installation may not be adequate. Note the tube brace on my axle bracket.

 

lol yeah I would weld in the relo brackets, I meant bolt in the dana...

 

Good info here, but looking at you sig, Cody bottom end? Who is that, if you don't mind me asking?

 

im cody. I did the bottom end. 385 stroker, all forged. I did all the work myself minus the machining. then purchased the AI top end. 438rwhp strong...

 

Bud M:
Stiffer springs? Where do you get stiffer springs at stock ride height? Does it make it ride crappier on the street? I can tolerate lots of change in the name of performance, but curious where you get stiffer stock springs. Do I need to then get different front springs?
Thanks!

Here's some reading material for starters:

Never heard of that site... the link was broken so I tried to sign up, we will see if it works then...

 

no that I have an account I can read them... im gonna get to it! Thanks!

 

hey bud m, all the pics on that site are not workin... have any more detailed pics of the home made parts? I like unbalanced engineerings design, but man that is a ton of money for these things... I want to try to make them myself... well, my dad is great fabricator, so his help will be enlisted.
Is that one welded brace from the axle to the mount really needed?
