I was finally able to clear some time to get this stuff put on. Another shout out to Bacadiesel for the tremendous help and we even managed to get my wheels centered with the panhard bar.

Gotta inspect the parts before installation.

Some close ups of the relocation brackets. Top quality stuff for those that may not have seen these.

Due to the weather, I have not been able to do any really aggressive driving but, I can already tell the ride is more responsive and comfortable. Less jitters. I chose the top hole setting because it is already about 5-6 inches lower than the stock height of where the LCA would contact at. Thanks again Frank for coming out in this weather.

How hard is it to adjust panhard?

That ones pretty tough to adjust cuz lock nuts are on each end. Can't get a wrench to tighten lock but on passenger side, so we had to remove it like twice to adjust.

This! I honestly had no intentions of messing with it lol. Glad you were willing to tackle it again, it does look much better.

BMR panhard is on-car adjustable

This J&M one is also "on car" adjustable but, it would be a royal pain in the ass to do, just easier to bring down the passenger side and make adjustments as needed. Hindsight, it may have been an easier task to just thread the passenger side completely and make adjustments from the driver's side.

I have no issues adjusting my BMR panhard. You just need to loosen the lock nuts on both ends then adjust and re-tighten.

Not that I am aware of.

Did you go ahead and zip tie that brake line against the lca? I snugged mine up so it doesn't flop around.

Not yet. I plan on getting it done this week.

Ouch, hope nothing was destroyed. I just noticed that since the brackets are about 3-4 inches from the ground, probably not a good idea.

Alignment was done a few months ago at Five Star Ford in NRH.

I had to align my car again after the relocation brackets. It changed the thrust angle causing my steering wheel to be off.

So what all did you end up doing bro? Can't see pics on work computer. Looking at getting panhard bar asap and interested to know any additional pieces that may be beneficial while I have the car up.

Installed BMR LCAs, relocation brackets and adjusted the J&M panhard bar. Standard issue items. If your car is lowered, I would recommend the same mods. Especially if the lowering is really aggressive.

i got under there and didnt notice anything, barely even saw where it layed on the guide rail.

i was asking for them to wash my car...that's all

on a side note, that was the second time i took a car through there that didnt even make it in. first time was a dodge viper rental...rear tire was too wide to go in the guide track. third time was the charm with my wife's outback. no issues with that.
