Granatelli made one, it was basically a stock piece that was somewhat modified, powdercoated and didn't fit

I doubt you'd see any improvement from an aftermarket piece, you're better off welding & gusseting the bracket on the frame that the bar is supposed to support

However, that lowers the mounting points which I think will screw with roll center/roll axis.

Avoid the Granatelli piece. Here's my review:

A tubular one wouldn't fit, it would come into contact with the panhard bar itself

The stock piece is u-shaped for the PHB to fit in, during its arc movement.

It would hafta be 2 tubes, so that there was room between the 2 tubes, for the PHB to fit. So at that point, you'd be adding unneeded weight with little to no strength benefit.

I boxed my OEM piece years ago.No issues with the tubular PHB to date...Cheap upgrade.

Not sure buying an aftermarket one adds any value except if ou decide to run a dual 3" exhaust.

Buy a panhard rod and call it a day.
