They shouldn't touch and have plenty of clearance. Got pics of lift and issue. Lift UCAs might give you the clearance.

So its the left side of a arm hitting coil spring when down travel? The kit looks like a 5" RCX but can't tell if its a 7.5" unless I see bottom a arm and CV angles. I would think zone boxed arms would gain some clearance around that area with their shape. Here is a FTS pic of boxed arms for reference.

Those angles def give away its the 7.5" kit. I would try a set of boxed lift uppers to gain extra clearance around the coil. Get pics posted once you get all the work done, it should look pretty good.

Them brake lines looks like they may be screaming as well. Have you had the alignment checked recently, a look at how your tires are wearing will let you know if your UCA needs adjustment. Second the replacement of the UCA as well though. When going over the 2.5 leveling kits you should be looking at changing out more than what just the kits come with nowadays.

Nah, a quality lift kit will have everything you need in it.

A cranked partial drop lift kit is just a bad idea all around.

I'm in agreeance on a good quality lift it wouldn't been my choice either it was jacked when I got it .I didnt think it's was that big of a lift it was though . I bought just for my son and I to fish out of to haul all of our gear when we're traveling fishing tournaments so everything is inside locked up. I'm just one them that can't leave will enough alone I've got to customize my favorite so far was the retro fit i done with the jeep fog lights and aftermarket head and leds on the front
