Default Panhard Bar

Was looking into getting a MM panhard bar. I've read alot that it will help you in cornering. How hard is it to install, it didn't look to hard but I am swapping a t'c rear in soon and figured I should do it all at once

it's not all that hard....mine took a few hours and you have to measure to get it in the right spot.....but not all that bad......the biggest pain is the tight clearance you'll have for the tail pipes... I believe the only set ups that work according to the instructions are the flowmaster set up and dynomax set up..other than that it'll say in work instructions that you'll need to visit the exhaust shop....in my case I lengthened the tail pipe portion over the axle hump and that part took me nearly 5 hrs to fab it up and make it look proffessional

good god, now that is called attention to detail. that would just pi$$ me off after a few hours, and it would probably turn into a week ordeal due to procrastination

Does it make a noticable difference around turns? I know you mostly drag it. I have SLP's they are easy to remove and adjust, hopefully that will make it easier

^^^^^oh heck yeah...little or no body roll now...but I installed one cause I had about a 1/2 clearance between my fenderwell and tires= fat 275's and on the winding road I live on it'd rub cornering if I got the least bit aggressive... now after install it doesn't rub and handles great
