I know it would shorten the front drive shaft's travel and extend the rear. I'm not particularly worried about the rear, as there is a lot more wiggle room in the back.

There won't be any changes in driveline geometry and clutch linkage that way. I believe you're about to open up a huge can of worms by tinkering with the position of driveline components.

It's a little more work than the hammer method, but a lot less redneck!
