Default daystar 1 3/4 problem

I installed this a while ago. I had an alignment at the stealership and my drag link end is making contact with the sway bar when turning. Bring it back to the dealer?

I had the Daystar on my 2012 along with their body lift never had any issues. Something must be wrong.

To me looks like the alignment place messed up, they need to shorten the drag link too make the pitman arm be pulled towards the passenger side
