You could get a cheaper Panhard Relo. at Founders Performance. Keep in mind that with this relocation, the panhard bar will not sit horizontal to the ground thus there will be a compromise in handling. You will have to purchase ANOTHER relocation bracket for the driver's side panhard mount to make the panhard bar horizontal again.

I've owned two Fbods with Kooks, both 1 3/4 and 1 7/8. Never had a wire touching issue but did have some nice color matched sleeves on 1 set-up for show purposes. Interested to see how your Kooks TD set-up goes. Always wanted it.
