I think I will extend the bump stops and try a few of your suggestions .The heim joint was somthing I was thinking about but is not legal for on road and aparently strictly watched here.It is a bit more than a paint rubbing off but extending the bump stops should reduce it to a paint problem .The spring hanger is allpros and is a drop style.Knowing what I know now rotating the knuckles 5* is a very good way to solve many problems .I was hoping some one had success with a shorter pitman arm or a flatter style.It is the drag link rubbing or rather the rod that connects the tie rods from the steering box to the right hi steer arm rubbing the top of the spring .Too much caster is the problem ,I had 6* before the shims.The shims caused the rods to be closer to the top of the springs.I may try some 4 or 5" springs as I still have to add a winch.....As always thanks guys and I will try to post some pics
