If the top bracket is the factory one, then basically you will need an adjustable rear track bar to center your axles. It doesn't look like the bracket from the TF kit addressed that. If you do get the adj TB ditch the TF bracket and only use the adj TB

If that photo is at ride height I would say the issues is that you are not getting enough height out of the coils. Did you take any actual measurements of what you had before and after?

There should actually be no rubbing no matter what's in the back IF all the components of the lift are correct. The kit should allow use of your full suspension travel with no rubbing. I suspect you have received the wrong trackbar bracket. But that ass looks way low too! That bracket looks to raise the mount 4 or 5", which seems high for a 2.5" kit.. You need to pull that bracket for now and then contact teraflex, imo
Just as a second thought, are those aftermarket control arms? If so are you sure they are oriented properly?

Yes it should move the axle more to the passenger side. And yes you are not getting enough lift in the rear something is up maybe wrong springs or do you have piles of bricks in the back, lol?

The control arms are the Teraflex extended fixed length. I'm almost 100% positive that the arms are installed correctly. Teraflex didn't say anything when I showed them the picture. Maybe I'll send a few more.

Some people including myself got little height n the rear. The bracket is supposed to center the axle pretty close but thats assuming 3" of actual lift (same as correction). A 2.5 lift like TF's should net about 2" in the rear so even the lower hole might cause over correction. The upper hole WILL make it worse like you said.
First check the height and add a spacer if needed to get at least 2" or Superlift makes a track bar that adjusts shorter then stock.
