Did you install a longer or adjustable bar? The more you raise it the more the axle will move towards the driver side. If you go to Rancho they have fully extended and compressed measurements of all their shocks(at least they used to ).
I did forget to mention I did install a new track bar as well but I’m thinking just shorter shocks, they’re on warranty and I can just swap them out for shorter ones and maybe that would help I’m just not sure because also the fact of they might extend too far when not contacting ground and cause unnecessary wear and tear.
Like said, shocks shouldn't be the ones to limit travel. Do you have the sway bar mounted?
I mounted 2,5" spacers on my truck, and some longer shocks. Can't recall lift they were designed for, though. Then I went to drive some offroad with it, and took off the sway bar. Can't remember was it a big rock or ditch or what I drove over, but the front axle flexed so much that the spring fell off from its place and damaged the shock stem. We got the spring back, and I used ratchet strap to make limiting straps to keep the axle from over-flexing.
I then bolted the sway bar back because it was nicer to drive it on the pavement. IIRC, with the stock end links it prevented axle from over-flexing.
