Does anyone know if the rear tailshaft of the transfer case is actually centered in the jeep or is it offset? I have frame specs but unfortunately they don't provide that measurement. I am chasing a vibration and my tailshaft is offset from the center of the jeep by about 1 1/4 inches.

The frame specs I have everything else measured perfectly

It is off center due to the drivetrain being offset to the passenger side to clear the front driveshaft on the driver's side. It is easy to see if you lay under the rig and look up at the bottom of the frame side motor mount brackets. It will be very evident that one is a fair bit longer than the other one and the block is fairly identical on both sides.
