i don't know if it will sove your problem but i got almost the same effect using the SWRevealViewController project. In the appDelegate I've set the delegate method from this class to do this:

- (void)revealController:(SWRevealViewController *)revealController willMoveToPosition:(FrontViewPosition)position {
#ifdef DEBUG
    NSArray *teste = @[@"FrontViewPositionLeftSideMostRemoved",@"FrontViewPositionLeftSideMost",@"FrontViewPositionLeftSide",@"FrontViewPositionLeft",@"FrontViewPositionRight",@"FrontViewPositionRightMost",@"FrontViewPositionRightMostRemoved"];
    NSLog(@"%@ %d", teste[position], position);
#endif
    if (position == FrontViewPositionRight)
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:YES  withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
    UINavigationController *frontViewController = (id)revealController.frontViewController;
    frontViewController.navigationBar.centerY += (position == FrontViewPositionRight) ?  20 : 0; //  20 == statusbar heihgt
}

- (void)revealController:(SWRevealViewController *)revealController didMoveToPosition:(FrontViewPosition)position {
    if (position == FrontViewPositionLeft)
        [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setStatusBarHidden:NO  withAnimation:UIStatusBarAnimationFade];
}

centerY is a category in the UIView which sets the center.y without dealing the boring part of setting frame variables.
