I don't think so. Adjustable control arms would be pretty nice, especially for some of the guys running 4-6" springs in the rear.

Wouldn't help any at all, unless you had adjustability at the top as well , then you'd more than likely need longer driveshaft if you started messing with that

I had the same thought of using some longer arms but the problem is if you do it, when it flexes the axle it will end up hitting the back of the fender before max flex therefore limiting your flex

But when I look at the rear it seems the wheel is closer to the front then the rear it's not centered it bothers me a little I wouldn't have. A problem getting a longer drive shaft made if i find/ make long arms

It appears that way but isn't really, when lifted it appears even more. But if you moved the rear diff back, when you flexed it out the tire would be too far back to go up into the wheelwell.
There are other things to worry about :ROTFL:
For the amount of lift you can do etc not worth it
