Really? That's interesting. How much interference was there? Was it even close?

Ya, but is it the regular or low pro cover?

Even the lo-pro girdle would not clear the panhard on my AV.

Don't ask me what happened to my earlier post; I have no idea.

I was looking into custom panhard bars when I finally gave up. I was going to drive to Utah where a guy would make one for me on the spot, but at that point I decided to sell the AV.

By there's, u mean Moser won't fit? See next pic( AKlow). Or a T/A won't fit? Cause those are in the other 2 pics. If u want to run 1 that bad, couldn't u slightly relocate the panhard? Or would that create another problem, since they engineered it( panhard) in that particular location.

Spoke to some industrial outfit and they told me Helwig made a panhard to adapt, but Helwig had no idea what I was talking about. I gotta believe that u can upgrade the panhard with some chromemoly tubing and make something a little more stout. I'll let it lie and do some research.
Moser says they dont have an app;
T/A says the lo-pro wont clear the panhard;
called 2-3 others and got same response and its apperently casue its more thana simple bolt on...hopefully someone who has actually done this will chime in!
