Default steering stabilizer hits oil pan

I was doing some maintance to my xj and seen a dent and scratches on my oil pan. I know the steering stabilizer is hiting but I don't know why. I have a RC stabilizer and don't now it it matters or not but I have a 3" RC lift with a 2" spacer and shackle also.

Has anyone else had this happen, if so what did you do to take care of it?
Looks like I can just add some more bump stops and that will take care of it but I hate to lose any of the up travel I have.
