Is your axle centered? Looks like it might be too far forward.

X2 or have you checked you cast to make sure its at the right angle!

replace your bracket. not much you can do to get around the poor design of the teraflex bracket. http://www.northridge4x4.com/shop/evo-manufacturing-jk-rear-rcc-rear-trackbar-bracket-1072

I ran coil correction wedges back when I ran wider TF rear coils. You can also relocate the perches.

I haven't had good experiences with that bracket, it hit my shock and was too close to the spring. I just took it off because it was hurting more than helping.

Nevermind, I have the frame side bracket not the axle side.

The Evo bracket posted above. How high does it raise the rear track bar. Anybody know ?
I do like the angle for clearances.
One reason I like the TF bracket is the multiple holes to choose from. I have the 2 hole but there's a 3 hole one available.

thinking more about the curved forward springs now...my weak logic says the longer raised springs have pushed the axle down farther from frame and the stock CAs have caused it to swing in towards the front end- right? So adjustable lowers would be lengthened to push it back. Using adjustable uppers to fix would require shortening more than stock length- right?
I don't know...

your stock control arms are fine and i wouldn't replace them.

Can you jack up the body on that corner and rotate the spring 180? Sometimes the center is not centered, meaning I won't sit exactly right on the bucket. If this is the case, you should be able to just spin it to get a little more clearance on That side.

Your axle will rotate up and pull in slightly with lift height.
lower arms set axle position and uppers set pinion angle. Installing CA's with a proper pinion angle is only going to make things worse.
Check out coil correction wedges mentioned. I believe JKS offers bolt on coil buckets also
Here's a pic of the wedges.
The problem you are seeing is totally normal for the TeraFlex bracket. Depending on which hole you used when mounting your track bar will make a difference on whether or not it'll make noise. You should NOT need stupid correction wedges or even new control arms to address this as your problem is coming from the track bar bolt making contact with your coil.
