So im going to be installing a steeda panhard bar on my gt500 do i need an alignment? I have a eibach coilover and it made the rear tire off by 1/2"

you will need an adjustable panhard bar to correct the rear wheels.

You can search youtube for how to's and whatnot or you can lift vehicle and adjust the bar till things look right.

this may help

No you will not need an alignment.

+1, but you will need to align the rear of the car with your wheels.

another question i have prior to lifting the car is, can i raise the car on the side frame and put a jack stand on the axle? also would removing the tires necessary?

You can't do a wheel alignment on a solid rear axle but if you add lowering springs at the rear, you'd need an adjustable panhard bar to get the axle properly centered.

Not necessarily. Some cars may need it, others not. I had this confirmed w/several of the vendors & on my own 14 GT.

I had Steeda sport springs installed- a 1" drop all around- and all that was needed was an alignment. Camber bolts were installed afterwards but only because one of the offsets was off by the slightest of margins; so, to bring it back to Ford spec they were added, but no panhard bar swap was necessary. My axle is as centered now as it was from the factory.
