Intrest in Buying Pan Hard Drop 2nd Gen.

so my dad recently made a pan hard drop bracket for my lift that i used cruiser coils for. i was able to borrow WSU4Runner's downey drop bracket and based it straight off of that. Some people have expressed intrest in buying one. We might even be able to make them for 1.5" offsets for those people who have just the downey coils. Right now we're thinking of about $50 each, including the hardware. i would just like to see how many people would buy one, this would most likely only be a 1 time deal, so let me know. i have a few pics of the one that he made me for those who would like to see it....

the only thing that we are really worried about right now is just legality stuff as in disclamers or wavers.

You guys might want to think about this one. I had to do quite a bit of grinding to get my downey one to fit. I don't think Kevin had these problems with the one he made.

Yep - just the coils - no spacers. Is this a problem?

Nice, Make sure you contact users: CB and Corey, they have been looking for just the bracket for years. Downey will not sell just the bracket.

See if Cebby wants one as well.

Pro-Comp makes and sells a separate bracket.

Seems lots want this, I have argued the merits at that height before.

If you can get it done for $50, that is close to Pro-Comp.

Hey Kevin,

Sorry I am just now replying, but I don't get on the internet as much as I'd like to here at home, as dial-up is just plaing murder sometimes!

Thanks for the offer to make these for us, but after further wheeling and stuff like that, I don't think I'm going to bother with the panhard drop for now. My lift isn't nearly as big as many of y'all on here, and with all my wheeling, I haven't had any problem with my driveshaft hitting the gas tank skid or anything like that. So, it seems that my rear-end lift hasn't caused me any problems or negative side effects yet.

Thanks for thinking of us. And Steve...great memory!

Take care fellas-

Cody
