Are you running a CMS? If not, the panhard bar is only going to look shiny and add weight. If so, it will help keep proper location of the axle and reduce bump steer. |

Are you referring to angling your shocks forwards/inwards? The pro is that you will get more wheel travel per given distance of shock travel. The con is that if you are happy with the amount of travel you have now, you will need a shorter shock or bumpstops and some fine tuning to keep that same amount after angling them. Changing this ratio of wheel travel/shock travel also effects the spring rate. If you are happy with the stiffness you have now, an angled shock will require a bit higher spring rate to maintain the same stiffness.

I am going to a CMS it's part of the kit I found , and as far as the shocks I believe is ckrccrawlers that now has a shock relocation kit that moves the top shock mount to the inside of the frame . Near center. What I have now is ok . But was wanting to know if it had more of a performance benefit than a looks kinda thing.
