Im not so sure the shafts would shift if properly torqued but his idea is free and machining isn't. The front suspension on my truck is disassembled at the moment and I was just about to order new u-bolts to reassemble it so it I do think its a good time to investigate the possibilities. Its been a while since I've even thought about this whole thing.

Yes, twisting them in the caps...After I talked to him and was thinking about this, I also was concerned about moving the shaft far enough forward that it would bottom out in the front cup during suspension travel and cause issues. Just need to pay attention.
