    I've heard of leaf spring flips on old hot rods. Never on a "modern" vehicle. I wouldn't think there would be clearance without the bed being off on a Yota. I'd like to see pics as well.
    To answer your question though, if the driveshaft is too short or long it can be made to the right length by a good machine shop or place that does axles/ drivelines. You can also go with a slip yoke setup. A good driveline place will be able to get you set up

    The angle between the output on the transmission and the pinion/flange on the diff need to be within a certain spec
