Scott Russell link is now in the past. Did what I was contemplating for the longest time and used the existing points to install my panhard kit. so the rod is shorter than what 2j racing installs but the difference is HUGE!!!!!!!
Was looking around online at off road trucks/jeeps and muscle cars and was able to put together a kit with my trusty welder.
basically I took these two ides and put them together:
Lower the chassis pickup point by making something like this. Compared to this, I feel like I might of over engineered my piece but that's a good thing:
Then over on the beam I did this and a bit more:
I actually incorporated where the SRL compliant bushing mount into this piece so it is reinforced a bit more.
So basically I made a blot on kit as I did not want to weld on anything and it did not work well. Next step will be to weld the bracket to the beam.
Here is it all bolted up: btw, the bar looks like shit because I didn't give it enough time to dry.
It ends up being a bit longer than the SRL. With the 600lbs springs I feel it negates the fact that the bar is short so I don't feel much of a difference left to right but there is a huge difference. Rear grip is so nice now, where it felt like it would get loose it just keeps digging, such a weird feeling but nice at the same time. I also adjusted my rear sway bar to the softest setting so I got some adjustment left.
