Thanks for your support..

Slee - Toyota 80 Land Cruiser Series Suspension DIY Pieces -- just one option.

You can calculate how the lenght increases with 5 inches of lift by simple trigonometry and 5 inches would need approximately a 0.4 inch longer rod.

what will be the factors for a trigonometry? thanks..

The lenght of the panhard rod center to center is approx. 32.5 inches and is horizontal on stock cruisers. If your lift it 5 inches over stock, you want to know how long the rod needs to be to maintain the same axle centering. The horizontal lenght and lift form 2 sides of a right triangle, A and B. You want to know the lenght of the rod when lifted, which is the long side of the triangle, C.

The formula is A squared + B squared = C squared.

A squared = 1056.25
B squared = 25
Sum = 1081.25

To find C, you take the square root of 1081.25

The square root of 1081.15 = 32.88 or .38 inch longer than the horizontal lenght.
The square and square root functions are found on most calculators, including the one that comes in the Accessories for Windows.

Isn't it fun to finally find an application for High School Geometry ?
