Not sure if I have to move the whole suspension forward or if after market trailing arms would fix the problem? Plan on going with another 2” block in the rear for a total drop of 7”.
There is a solution but its a PAIN.....You have basically 2 choices.

1 you can cut the trailing arms and shorten then and the drive shaft.....NOT SUGGESTED unless once you weld them back together then box them for strength.

The second option is to move the cross member that the trailing arms bolt to...You will have to take all the rivets out.....get the rear end centered, drill holes and bolt to the frame....

there is one other option...QA1 Makes a rear suspension that is adjustable for our trucks and has threaded joints to be able to perfectly center the rear wheels...but its EXPENSIVE
