    If thats the case measure centres and compare to the factory bar. In reality it should end up about an inch or so longer than the factory bar to re-centre everything


    Again, how did you go with your pinion angle. It still looks like it's rolled a fair way forward

    So far the mesurments say it is right but I will finish the front end first and recheck it again and if I go the lower control arms eventually it would push the back wheels back again and change the tail shaft angle also

    If the measurements say it's right, then it'll be right.

    Didn't you get adjustable uppers? Adjust them to set the angle

    Yeah I got adjustable upper control arms but the wheels are very close to the gaurd so longer lower will give me more room and better stability/flex

    Remember to leave all bushes loose enough to settle in the right position once the vehicle is on the ground. This allows you to tighten them so it doesn't put undue stress on them when flexing.

    Yeah you can clearly see in the last pic the diff is pointing down too much still.

    Just for shits and giggles. You haven't got the control arms in arse about? As the bush ends are angled so there is a left and right to them. Just thinking if they are arse about it may be stopping you from correctly adjusting the panhard... Dunno...

    Do not have a answer to your question, but the orientation of your shocks, is there a reason why you installed them the way you have?
    To me they are upside down. Maybe it does not matter.
