Threaded bar, 3 suitable nuts, hacksaw, MIG, some nerve, a straight edge and 40min later you have an adjustable panhard rod.

Or you speak nice to Vince and he makes you a drop bracket.

Remove a section of the bar, weld suitable nut on each cut end, weld threaded bar into one side/nut, thread on a lock nut, screw both section together to desired length, lock with locking nut.

I have a spare bar here and will be making one for my pickup. I can post pics if you need. However it will be one of the last jobs so probably a month away.

I understand now, will give it a go tomorrow

That is an on truck adjustable rod. The flange nuts will be one right and one left hand. The wide center adjuster is part of or welded to the threaded bar. Wind in or out on the center adjuster and lock with the lock nuts.

Watch for heat soak when welding as you could damage the bush
