Rear Axle shifting side to side to much. Help pls
I am running the rock krawler 3.5 x factor plus mid arm system. The problem i am running into is when i flex the jeep up. The rear drive shaft yoke smacks the gas tank skid plate. When i flex it out the other way the body of the drive shaft smacks the canister skid. My question is what can i do to prevent this? Any help would be nice thank u.

Thank u Dirtman. Is it possible to put a strap on the center of the axle to keep it from shifting to much? I dront want to lose much droop if i can help it.

I would mount a limiting strap at the axle side on the track bar bracket to allow for maximum droop at the wheels while still keeping the axle from shifting. I would make sure you have an after market track bar bracket or brace welded since it is know as a weak point and is know to break loose. An after market driveshaft may give you more clearance as well.

Thank u for the input. It does have the track bar bracket and it is also welded on there so half the battle is out of the way. I will look into the strap idea more. My wife works in champagne and i have a friend that now lives there. I dont get out there that often but when i do i will send u a message in advance.
