Default How to move rear axle?

I noticed that my front and rear axles look to be sucked in a little towards the middle of the Jeep after my lift. I know with adjustable control arms I can center the front axle a little better to the center of the wheel well; but how about the back? Only needs to be maybe a couple of inches.

as the suspension compresses the rear axle goes backwards and front axle goes forwards (with decent height and shortarms anyway)

if you really think you need to stretch the back a little the easiest way is with adjustable spring perches and spring plates. they just have the centering pin hole offset in them.

i run ruffstuff antiwrap perches with this feature.

Only thing I could really find on this subject was flipping leafs and stretching the rear for comp cut.
