    You did not say what type of suspension you are running, but if you have a panhard/track bar an adjustable bar will also allow you to center the differential at static load, or you may be able to modify the bracket on either the frame or axle to account for the 1/4" offset.

    The 1/2 inch thick spacer on one side is a great idea. It is very hard when building a car, especially one with exposed underpinnings, to get everything exactly the same side to side. We have to tweak things sometimes to get them to look and fit right.

    I would also be curious what kind of suspension setup you have, because if something like coilovers with a panhard, you should be able to adjust it over that far.
