eimkeith Panhard correction kit install

nope; you should have gotten the flat bracket - not the V-shaped one that is for the later FZJ (vs FJ).

HOWEVER: a couple of my prototype guys ran that one on their early axles; they made fill plates and welded them in the voids and carried on. (That would be my suggestion since you've fully welded the bumper side already.)

The voids are the only difference between the two versions, btw. And I'm glad you posted this - it's a great example of the difference between the early and late factory mounts!

Keith, I know we had this conversation before, I don't think the difference is a FZJ versus a FJ or early or late model. After looking at the axle again, I now think the difference is ABS versus non ABS model. In this picture you can see the ears hold the ABS wire.

yeah that’s what I did. Not pretty but functional.
Just send me a new set for my other FZJ80 94 and we’ll call it square.

I would bet this is a non ABS Reg.

Finally got mine in...had to use the jack handle as breaker bar extension trick to break the bolts loose but otherwise was fairly straightforward. My welding was not brilliant but seems like it will hold, and with paint on won't embarrass me too much...I think. Waiting on delivery of an adjustable panhard bar as I managed to bend mine pressing out the bushing (yeah, that was a disappointment!)

Thanks for a nice product @eimkeith
@Box Rocket if you haven't sorted out the frame side piece yet lmk, I am happy to send you mine for a six pack of IPA (and shipping.)

Thanks. I've got a frame side bracket. Just haven't had time to weld it in yet.

this is an ABS rig. I pulled all the wires off.

absolutely - I simply use FJ/FZJ as an internal order code; that's why I stress the shape difference on the order page - it takes a few seconds to verify which axle one has/what bracket is needed. I don't know what the delineation line/year/option is, so visual inspection seems to be the best way to do it.

Will one of these be available soon for the 100 series?

yessir, just need to verify fit.

yessir, just need to verify fit.

I can weld one on and send you pics.

Has anyone set this up for a 2inch lift? The instructions on the website say to use the lower hole on axle bracket and stock on the frame side. Unfortunately with the lower hole, the bolt hits the spring for me. I don't know what the solution is. I thought about using the lower hole on the frame and the stock hole on the axle as they both are 1 1/4 in lower than the recommended holes. Would that be a bad idea?

From the website

• 50mm/2″ – use the lower hole on the axle bracket, stock hole on the frame side
• 75mm/3″ – use the upper hole on the axle bracket, stock hole on the frame
• 100mm/4″ – use the lower hole on the axle bracket and the new hole in the frame side bracket"

The kit should have come with a shorter nut mine did. If necessary cut some of the bolt off.
Most 2” lifts net more the 2” again mine did I’m using the upper bolt axle side stock on the frame side.
You want the panhard level that’s what matters.

 

[Broski]

I would use the upper most hole, that’s what I’m using. And I used a full size not but some spring are thicker.
