Default 2.5" Front Spring Install Problem

I had 1.75" pro comp spacer and pulled them out and installed 2.5" front lift springs. Now my sway bar connections are hitting the trac bar. Can't move the steering without hitting and popping. Is there something that I am missing. I wouldnt think adding .75" would cause this to happen. Is there a relocation bracket that I need?

Nope..They said I didn't need anything unless I go higher than 2.5". It lloks like my sway bar is angled way down compared to what I remember. Almost like it is shorter some how. New to lift, so would adding the springs move the axle back also ?

Same thing happened to me with stock sway bar links. Moved the rears up front and solved it.
