You need to use The Pythagorean Theorem to work it out I done it to mine and it was some thing stupid like 3/4 of a inch, you need to use this theorem by measuring the existing lengths then add in the 3" lift to work out the new panhard length

The standard Panhard rods are weak, so just bug adjustable ones from Jimnybits.co.uk and adjust them till the axle is centre. For what they cost I imagine it's not worth making any.

Made mine for £30 save loads and why do they need to be adjustable if the lifts never going to change. In sure it was 21 mm longer on rear and 17 mm on front and made mine from 25 mm 2 mm walled cds. I had some slid in a hole and a scaffold bar over it and was jumping up and down on it about 6 foot away and couldn't bend it. Bent standered one in my hands lol
