Default PHB question
I am getting wider wheels and tires (10.5" in the rear) here in the next month or so and I was wondering if now would be a good time to install an adjustable panhard. I do plan on doing a full suspension for the car later, but I've heard that the panhard can help with larger wheels and tires. I'm wondering if anyone thinks I should do the PHB swap now or hold off.

I think it would be a good idea. You might discover that the tire rubs on the quarter panel on one side, and has plenty of clearance on the other side. An adj. phb would be your friend in that situation

Sweet that's kinda what I thought. I guess I'll need it eventually so why not get it now. Not expensive or hard to install. Thanks for the help.
