Has anybody had any issues with the driveshaft wanting to rub the metal guard for the gas tank on a 2/4 drop? It is clearance extremely close, and was clipping the sheet metal gas tank guard. I was able to bend it in slightly, but don't want to remove it for obvious reasons. It is no longer hitting, but was curious if anyone else has experienced this? I appreciate it!

I did, adjustable panhard to center the wheels left to right, and a pair of tin snips to trim the metal cured mine

Like abouttobeglue said, adjustable track (panhard) bar is needed to recenter the axle.
