It always changes the location of the axle when you lift it. Simple geometry lol. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> a(squared) + b(squared) = c(squared) . Change the length of a or b and c changes, too bad on our rigs c is the panhard bar and it isn't getting any longer on its own, so to compensate the axles shifts over.

I would get a local fab guy to cut the bracket on the frame off and drop it down a little. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

You could also build a new rod using a threaded section so you can make it longer or shorter.
