C20 panhard bar

Who makes an adjustable panhard bar for a stock height c20 on coil springs? The truck has an eaton currently, and in the futur i plan to lower the truck about 2 inches in ths rear, but i just need something for right now so i can drive the truck. Are the c20/c10 panhard bars interchangeable?

Re: C20 panhard bar

I have very limited knowledge but no, they are not the same. I believe c10 goes from the pumpkin to the driver's side frame, while the c20 goes from a bracket coming backward off of the axle (on the far side of the pumpkin) to a mount on the driver's side frame.

Have you tried calling Early Classics or someone that sells lowering parts for your truck?

Re: C20 panhard bar

My dealer told me that they are different and he can only get C10 panhard bars.

With that said, I know that GMC Pauls sells C20 springs and my Canadian dealer does not, but GMC Pauls will not ship nor sell to Canada.

Re: C20 panhard bar

Don't need a bar if your just lowering 2 inches Do you? I thought it was when you went like 4 inches that is when that panhard bar need to be adjusted. What about having a welding shop cut it in two then install a big turnbuckle in the middle. Or have one made in the fashion of the adjustable ones for the 1/2 ton. Our welding shop here does that sort of thing all the time just that they are building stuff for farmers.
