this doesnt sound normal sounds like your rims have to much backspacing or your ball TRE is to big or possibly the worst case scenario your knuckle broke

your TRE/Knuckle seem to have plenty or room. have you looked at your brake caliper to see if it is rubbing? are you on a 15" rim still?

Jack it up and take off the wheel and find out what is contacting the rim

the size of your lift makes absolutely no difference to why your drag link would be grinding into your rim.....
sounds to me like you have a bent knuckle.... or your TRE is the wrong size... Your tie rod end's distance from the rim shouldn't change at all when turning either way.... or else how would it even turn your knuckle in the first place
also just curious but what kind of rims are you using?? there are some car rims that have the same bolt pattern but the offset is not quite right... so Proper fitting can cause some interfering
