Do I need Front and rear adjustable panhard

[jay see]

Well after the lift went in I noticed that both diffs have moved about 12mm. Is that enough to warrant adjustable panhards.
I did make my own years ago on a VL, or there's this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Nissan-Pa...item20fad1396f

Personally wouldn't mate. The forces against a 4x4 panhard is a bit more than a vl.

12mm is borderline. (guessing it was a 3" lift)

I'd but new ones, and that means you can upgrade to a heavier duty set to

Yeah x 2. General rule is up to 2 inch lift is fine 3 inch preferable 4 inch & upwards will definatly need adjustables, so guessing yours would be around 3 inch?

Haven't seen those build your own kits but personally would fork out the extra and get some good aftermarket adjustables. You get thicker tubes and will be heaps stronger. You'd want to be pretty confident with your welds too for any suspension stuff, a brocken Panhard in the desert would be a PITA, worth spending the extra on some things i reckon.

Nah, 2", but might be a little more.
Had original height measurements but misplaced the paper so can't compare

Owell 2" don't sweat it.
You can if you want but not critical.

Yeah, I know, its not because its 2" its more the fact that its 12mm.
At what stage in diff movement not lift height so you use adjustable panhards.

[Ben-e-boy]

I think you should. It's 12mm out. Panhard rods already give odd handling characteristics on big angles and when the suspension is pushed to the limit of its travel at speed. It gets worse as you get higher and not having your diffs central to the body dosn't help either.

The threaded adjusters like those break with only light wheeling

I'm going to get both front and rear bars.
Not just yet need to replace all brake pads first.
Another one for the list....
