Advice and Picts of 3/5 drop

Anyone got pics of a 3/5 drop spring set up? Also will a stock mounted adjustable track bar work with this configuration?.

Mine is around 3.5/5 with the factory panhard bar. The bar is close to horizontal and the rear wheels are perfectly centered in the wheel wells.

Re: Advice and Picts of 3/5 drop

Here’s my SWB stepper with a 3/5 drop and my LWB with a 2/4 drop. I put adjustable pan hard bars on mine. No issues to worry about then.
