Default Driver side coil spring problem

Putting my lift on and the front left coil is so far off center I can't put the bump stop back on and the spring is rubbing the track bar bracket. Ill get a picture tomorrow.

the front of the vehicle is on the left in that pic so that its how it would be curved with short arms....

actually now that I look at it, if it is hitting the track bar bracket, that axle is all sorts of out of wack

That's what I was thinking. The truck has been hit but from what I can tell it was from the front not the side. And the tower looks been forward
