Adjustable rear upper n lower control Arm
If I were to replace the stock rear upper n lower control Arms with adjustable ones, would I be able to move the rear axle back a few inches for better wheel clearance ??

Depends on the arm and more importantly the joint. Something with a Johnny joint or the duroflex will have room to move it back an inch or so. Rk arms would not unless you had custom length arms made.

I'd be happy with 2-3". Looks like it would cost $400 in parts so I wanted to make sure I would get that much further back.

Your not going to get that much from standard arms. You would need to confirm the amount of threads not the joint shanks. I have measurements for many joints but not RC.

New driveshaft yes and possibly a Dana 60. Just installed teraflex 44 in front with locker n 5.13 gears. Just want those extra inches to go 40's in future. Have tons of space up front now but rear not as much and I've done some cutting.

Your profile says you have 3" of lift and 37s. There's lots of fellas running that combination. Have you done the necessary trimming and set your bumpstops correctly?
