Not sure why you say its a driveshaft length problem ?
Just looking for how many half turns to take up the .100 distance I am pushing the rear U joint back.

IF you are not bottoming the splines on the U-joint yoke,
you ARE NOT pushing the rear U-joint rearward.
THEREFORE, there is no need to move the axle via the ladder-bar adjustment. You want your axle "in the same spot or close as I can get it." So don't move it. It's already where you want it.
But moving the transmission rearward may take up the clearance you currently have with the splines. So MAYBE you need to shorten the driveshaft.

I don't understand this at all. If you move the rear axle .125
forward, and the transmission goes rearward .100, you LOSE .225 clearance at the yoke splines that you're already tight on.
