Just to be clear;
Your passenger side axle BEAM is hitting the drivers beam drop bracket [mount]? [drivers beam mount being on passenger side]

Sounds like something is bent or out of position.

Pics would help for sure (pics of where it's hitting, the d-side beam bracket, and of the radius arms, bushings and mounts).

I saw 1 picture and I can tell you for sure that the bracket in question is severely pushed back.. it should be bolted and tight to the cross member.

I'm sorry, I will not sign in to anywhere in order to see someone else pics. I don't know how you can make google show your pics. You can load them to an alternative pic hosting site OR you can put them into your "pictures and albums" located in your TRS control panel.
