Default 3.5" RK X factor ?'s

I know a lot are running this lift. I must say it rides and wheels like a dream. But, (yes a but) I was looking it over well on an RTI ramp and noticed a ton of stuff binds up when flexed out. Front spring catches steering box bolt, rear track bar bracket hits shock, etc. Anyone else run across this? Are there fixes?

Yeah, I bought mine used off a guy that is great at seting up rigs (took 2nd in top truck challenge a few years back). He built it to drive not wheel, so I got it with 37's and a ton of fender rub. So I cut the flares, rock rails, and pinch welds. Now I am finding other places that parts bind. All of them seem to be in the uptravel.
