are you sure your caster is set right? if your axle is tilted too much it will make your coil bend.

To be honest no I have no clue if my caster is right. I slapped the lift on, got my trac bar on eyeballed the wheels, test drove it to make sure there was no pull or wobble and went with it. Only now am I really noticing the bumpstop rubbing. If it helps its rubbing on the "widest" part of the bumpstops diamater...(that little lip). Should I look forward to an alignment?

^^^yep

There really isn't a lot that can cause this so fixing it is pretty straight forward. This is assuming you don't beat the S outta your jeep and have bent the axle/brackets/etc.

I never jump it or slam anything hard, and it didnt have the problem with the 3 inch coils in it. Im guessing something is outta line since I installed the 4.5

Most shops won't bother with anything but the toe angle on jeeps, so if you are taking it to a shop ask them what they would do on your jeep before letting them have at it.
