when you lift it, the track bar (if stock one is used with lift) shifts the axle towards the drivers side. the tire sticks out of the wheel well farther than its supposed to, and its catching the edge of the bumper when you turn it. only fix is to trim the bumper, or get a longer track bar/drop pitman arm.
