New control arms (does anyone know how and why my axle shifted?)

They'll do that when you remove a control arm, especially if the others are removed or loose. Just push/pull, use a pry bar, or a ratchet strap to line it back up.
A jack under the pinon or spring perch, depending on which way the axle needs to rotate. In this case a bottle jack under the front of the spring perch should line it up.
I am doing this now, +1 for the ratchet strap and jack. I also found that a big spreader clamp really helps when you need to push the axle away from the frame. The ratchet strap for when it needs to move closer to it.

This is just a vent correct? How bad is it? JB weld? I didn't have a 4" so was using a 6" and didn't even realize it was hitting it.
Yeah, that's your diff vent. If you need a new one, which it looks like you do I found one on eBay over the summer and installed because mine didn't have anything when I bought it.

It says it doesn't fit TJs but I was able to tap it in with no issues.

It is a vent, and it is necessary. It should be a simple fix.
Nope, I've never needed to replace that. It's either pressed or screw-in. Pull the remaining hose and take a look. Also, find a parts diagram, that might show you which one it is.
So now the rear bolts on the uca are being a bitch to remove. I hit them with kroil last weekend and again on Wednesday but still can't get them off. It's not helping that they are rusty and the socket doesn't have a full nut to grab on to. I don't see anyway to cut them off like I did the fronts. Any suggestions?
