Really? 10mm? How long is your panhard rod? like 700mm? If so then 10mm means a 0.8 degree change? The dude is tripping balls. The thing probably swings though 25 degrees over full bump to full droop so we are talking about a 3% change.
I guess if it makes it more inline with the steering link then possibly the benefit is two fold?
I moved my panhard about 50mm (from memory) and that made a tangible difference (from slightly worse than factory bump steer to better than factory) and was one of the things that helped me pass my cert brake test (but this alone was not enough).
All that said, if you do move your panhard. Try to move it up at the axle rather than down at the chassis end. The reason for this is that the roll center height is at the center (vertically) of you panhard. A higher roll center means less mass and leverage above the roll center, which means a more stable truck. (This only applies to solid axle setups with a panhard, it's a whole new world with roll centers and IFS etc).
