Default Front axle too far forward

First off 2000 Cherokee sport. 4.5” RE coils, RE drop brackets, RE track bar and bracket, Rusty’s lower adjustable arms with JJ and Rusty’s solid uppers. I ran the drop brackets with stock arms until I could afford some control arms. Now I’ve noticed that my axle seems to be too far forward. I have the lower arms adjusted all the way in and pulled all the way back in the drop bracket slots. The bump stop actually is resting on the part of the spring towards the cab. Strange part is that I adjusted the arms to the same length as stock. Could the solid uppers be causing the problem?

Sounds like you need to adjust your camber so the bumpstop doesn't rub. Caster should be around 7 degrees positive.
