i went to a local offroad shop here and they told me all i need to do is get a drive shaft with more clearance in the ends and need about 7in of slip... said they would build me one for around $300 and would 100% guarantee that it would take care of my problem... thats without putting any shims under the axle... i have also been told to turn the drive shaft around and try using it that way... i held it in place and it looks like it would bolt up... i have to change the flange or drill the old one out in order to do that though...
