It works but has nothing to do with the wheels being moved forward. You'll have to get the adjustable link bars from Spohn and set them at 3/4" longer eye-eye than the OEM bars.
A panhard does nothing but set it correctly from side to side.

Having problems finding someone to put this all together for me. I don't have the space or tools to do it myself. Called several shops and so far not impressed with the responses I'm getting. Damn I need my own garage

Just some options...you could purchase the tools, and even the floor jack, and jackstands, for less than the cost of what you would pay a shop to do the job, and then you own them. Then, you can do this in the parking lot of your apartments. The only time I even used the air compressor was to remove the wheels, and that's easily done with a 1/2" drive ratchet. You don't have to have an air compressor to do this job.

Or, you can pay a shop several hundred dollars ( or more), and learn nothing.

Or, you can drive to Houston and rent my shop, and tools, and do the job yourself, at your pace, and take pride in doing the job yourself.

Or, you can drive to Houston, and pay me to do the job for you. Make a weekend out of it, drop your truck off, and come back in 5 hours.

Or, keep looking for a forum member in Dallas to help you out. Iv'e seen a few on here.

No matter what you decide to do, remember you will need an alignment asap, mine was $68 w/ no appointment, and had to wait approx. 2-2.5 hrs befor I drove away.

I'm would like to do the work myself but never having done it before I'm a ill hesitant. I've worked on helicopters I'm pretty sure I can figure it out. Just not sure where to start. I got a quote for a kit installed for 1,000. I dunno I don't want somebody touching my truck without me helping. I have family in houston lol. And yeah I'm all over the alignment.

Those are the uppers, they have the lowers as well. You can save a few bucks, and buy their "kit" that includes uppers, lowers, and panhard rod. You can check in the "4th gen DIY "section on this forum for some direction to help you with this job.

Nice I see the package. Now this all does work on a 2013? Website says up to 2012. Don't wanna buy it and have a no go. Thanks for all the help I'm kinda new and it's a lot to figure out. But I'm gonna get it all together.
