Do you have a drop bracket on the frame side? Can you upload a couple more pics with different angles of the TB setup.

Looks like factory TB frameside bracket. You don't have many details in your profile and can't get clear look through the pics.....those adjustable control arms?

Man I have no clue. It’s a 2012 Jeep Rubicon. I just bought it 5 days ago. Really don’t know much about it. Lol

Are there big jam nuts on the control arms or are they one solid piece? Thinking maybe someone has pushed that axle back just a bit too far (axle moves back but the frame side bracket stays stationary so the clearance between the spring and TB isn't there). You should have enough clearance to slide your fingers between the TB and coil. Maybe someone else will chime in with a thought.

Still green to this lift stuff. Googled control arms and took photos of what I thought they were! Apologize for the lack of help on my end man.

Yup, you got adjustable arms on there. My guess is they are set a tad too long. On the lower arm you can take a tape measure and measure the distance from center of bolt on the axle side to center of bolt on the frame side. That is the arm positioning the axle. That distance would give us something to compare to. Also, this is a 2 or 4dr? Google where to measure stock height so you can then judge the size life u have on there. Sorry, in pool and on phone or I'd locate that for u.

As you're soon to find out, lifted jeeps are a bit of work..... Not all just sexy looks. 😕
