I was wondering if anyone has found a drive shaft that is adjustable, or a drive shaft that pushes the rear diff back in order to center the axle in the fender wells after a lift.

Drive shaft has a slip slip yoke which allows for suspension travel. If the drive shaft was pushing the rear acle back itd break. What you're looking for is adjustable control arms, but at the point you make them push the axle back you'll now need a longer drive shaft and a rear fender rearranging. Take your rear springs out and move your axle through its range of suspension travel and you'll find it's where it needs to be.

OH dear here we go again
You do not need to push the rear axle back any at all with the lifts we have
at over 5 inches of lift on my 04 when fully flexhed out a 32 inch tall tire went up into the rear fenderwell easy

10-4.

No need to get those p a n t i e s in a w a d, Tom! I just want to make sure I have everything I need before lifting!

Btw, what kit(s) do you have that gives you the 5 inches?
