Everyone that has one of my kits does not have an adjustable pan hard rod (as far as I know). I did a 4" lift to my 2wd 2 door. and drilled a different hole in the passenger side pan hard rod location. It has worked great so far (about 15k miles) with no side effects. If you are having rubbing issues, I can send you a template of what worked for me, NO GUARANTEE it will work for you, but it is the cost of 2 holes.

I have ran my 4" lift for 12 years and over 160,000 miles and have never installed an addjustible panhard bar. I have never had a problem with allignmens, the rear axle is offseet a little but my tires have allways wore even.

Running 3" UPYOURKIA.
No issues with lift, panhard rod or uneven wear.
Tire width, hight and backspacing are the only issue I noticed.

Same here, I've got a 4" lift, no adjustable panhard bar, never had it aligned after the lift and have close to 40,000 miles on a set of tires with no unusual wear.

I have the TJ rear coils and I get rubbing on my shocks only on the left side when articulating the axle. I have the stock wheels, but 31x10.5 tires. The stock wheels pull the tires in where an aftermarket wheel with less back spacing will push it out just a touch to keep it from rubbing.
