Thanks for all your suggestions I really appreciate it... I'm going to go over everything again tonight. Maybe the ball joints have no grease, I even left smashboogie a message because I am stumped.

track bar is normal. Coils is normal until you relocate pads. Mine is same way. My 37s rub my front lower control arms at full turn. Maybe that's it. If not make sure the flex joints are straight and all bolts are torqued correctly

Hey guys. New question. I had a bit of weight in my rear last night with 3 guys and the tire carrier and spare. I was hitting bumps and my track bar bolt rubbed my bumpstop. Anyone know if this is normal? Also my rear coils are sitting real slanted. More than what seems normal.
