How do I fix this?

Notice that the new lift has pushed the axle a bit foward and now I hit the drag link when turning. This picture has the passenger tire stuffed and thats when I noticed it. There are scratches on the drag link so I'm guessing it must be hitting in every tight turn.
What do you think?

Shorten the arms?
 
Tina - is it hitting the diff cover?  If so - if you have an aftermarket diff cover or guard - going back to stock may help.  My draglink hits my diffguard at full lock...

What did you set the caster up front at?

I never touched anything.  :disagree: There were no vibes and the wheel was centered and returning to center.


It's just catching the bottom of the sway bar tab. That's the only place it is hitting. Lot's of clearance between the diff cover and drag link. No problems with the trac-bar hitting anything either.
If you click on the small images they will take you to the full size picture.
I'm getting about 3* forward measuring form there. It should be closer to 5* right? That's gonna make it worse... no?
 
If your not getting vibes, don't mess with the caster.  You could end up with some.

I agree with bigbad, if your only just scratching it, take a little off the bracket with an angle grinder.
