Default driveshaft HELP!!!!!!!!!

I just installed a coast driveline shaft in the front with an adaptor flang for the transfer case. I have an auto 2dr rubicon. I just got done installing it and started for a test drive when I heard a noise. I looked at the shaft and it is rubbing my transfer case line bracket right at the joint. Has anyone else had this problem or know what to do?

Pics would be great. How much lift ya got? I think I've heard on here of people trimming a bracket, must just be on the 2drs? I thought it affected the manuals though.

you couldn't see what it is rubbing in the pics. I guess I'll have to call customer service.

Ok , I went out and looked at mine, I have a jereel oem replacement. The only bracket that I see that even comes somewhat close is the transfercase shifter cable bracket. Is your joint touching it at standstill or justt really close or can you tell where it's hitting, or is there just a noise? Also, how much lift do you have. The double cardans don't like being that far away from the tf case(ie-OEM replacement) with a lot of lift ,they like yolk replacement better.
