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.

Schurkey, it should have been one full turn for .083. I added a half turn for some reason and went the wrong way. I was trying to type this with company over. Too tired for company anyway. Day shift after a night shift with 3 hours sleep.
So its trans back .100 and extending rod ends one turn for .083 or one and a half for .125 .
I will be fine with the rear .083 back and there should be enough slip on the yoke for the .017 difference.
If for some reason I don't like it I will bite the bullet and buy a carbon fiber driveshaft. Been wanting one anyway, its a good excuse.
