Default Steering stabilizer

I just installed a rancho steering stabilizer and it is metal to metal contact with the stock mounting location. Does anyone know if I should relocate it or not.

Try to turn the bracket on the tie rod. It's kind of like trial and error. I put mine on jack stands and then turned the wheel each way to make sure it cleared.

All the photos I see online look like the bracket would be the best fit. No metal to metal like in your photo.

You could also reverse your SS. I'm pretty sure it works the same either direction.
