Coil springs rubbing
The coil spring on my driver side rubs my tire when turning either left or right and only on the driver side any one ever had this happen. I think it's due to my track bar being to long and shifted my axle.

You sure it rubs the tire? I have the same track bar issue and the coil hits the track bar mount, and when locked and flexed the tire rubs the left LCA.

There is your problem. Your springs are green! Your track bar is too long. Meaning that the track bar if it is not adjustable it is for a particular height. Your lifts is at 5" but your track bar could be for a much higher lift. If it is adjustable, simply shorten the length of the track bar.

It is adjustable and it says for a 4-8 in lift and by bar is adjusted all the way in.
So I'm just thinking new springs

Are there 2 holes for your track bar in the lower bracket? Is it possible you or the po could of drilled a new hole to relocate the track bar in the past and it is in the incorrect hole? Just trying to help ya. I would love to know what is causing this problem for you.
