Default Rear TB rubbing spring

My right rear spring is suddenly rubbing the TB. It has never been an issue. Any thoughts?
2012 2 door with 2.5 TF and Fox shocks. What can I do to fix.

Just curious cause I am new to all of this. I am running a 2014 2.5 Rough Country suspension left with OEM stocks. Since I had it all put on, theres been a weird "squeaky" bed sound, you know like an old bed creek and occasionally I will here a "squeaky rusty wheel". I went around a torqued the body mounts, tightened the rear and front bumpers, and now all that I can think is theres something wrong with my suspension. Its only in the pass side rear.

Check the sway bar link bolts. Might be rubbing something. Also check to see if the rear upper coil isolater is there (rubber part on top of the coil).

Okay got correction wedges. Any tips on install? High side towards TB? They are so "slippery" will this not cause a problem with springs shifting or moving around??
Do I still add the spring hold downs after? Nothing in the box. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks.

Thick side goes in the rear. Yes you can still add your coil retainers after they will help keep everything in place
