    I recently bought a 2 inch suspension lift for my 2011 5th gen. I recently discovered that lifting throws off suspension geometry. Is a kit to correct that necessary for a 2 inch lift? If so, what should I get? The lift I bought is a Stage 2 non KDSS Ironman foam cell pro if that's relevant.

    from my research when i did mine.............2" max, not really needed but you can correct the little angle it produces. Below that don't spend the money, there's no benefit. Above 2" definitely needed to keep the shift to a minimum.

    The common option is the DRKDSS kit. but there's others out there if you are a good welder.

    Not necessary. You might want to consider upper control arms.

    So how do you know that you may need panhard correction? Use your eyes and butt.

    By eyes I mean look at the bar, is it fairly horizontal, as it should be?

    By butt, does the rear end “hop” over speed bumps?

    These could be indicators of a need.

    Cheers
    Mike

    You don’t list list where you are located, but if near TN I actually ended up with one in my sale pile from another trade deal, Ironman adjustable panhard bar - part #panhard015hl21, new never installed, packaging tore so threw it away, if you decide you need one, site shows $300, figure $100 to get it to a good home and out of my way. Or shipped at buyer cost but the thing is a heavy chunk.
