Hold on here, how can the tire hit the spring?? there's a fixed distance from the perches to the wheel, unless what your saying is that the springs comming from the frame sort of slant down to the axle via a parallel angle to axle, if this is so then your spring may have shifted, a tracj relocate bar is a good think but not really needed for 2.5 inch lift, I would re trace the steps on the install something isn't right there
