Thank you. They actually did install them. I noticed them while I was under there chasing this down and realized they were new because they were spotless. That said, the ICON Description of these brackets states:

"Overview:

These black anodized, billet aluminum sway bar relocation blocks will move your sway bar 1" forward to avoid any contact with aftermarket coilovers. This small investment can save yourself a ton of headache when installing aftermarket coilovers."


I think that is the root of the problem right there. The Sway Bar is moved forward to allow for clearance of the coils, but now it's pushed into the Skid Plate Bracket.

In any case, I fixed it today by dropping the bracket that rubbed about 3/16" of an inch with some fender washers and now it is fine. While I had the skid plate off, I got a tap and chased the threads, got some good anti-sieze cleaned and painted everything that needed it (few rusty welds, etc.) and that did it.

Here are a few pics, in a couple, you can see the spot that rubbed and wore through the finish on the Sway Bar and also the Bracket. It seems like ICON needs to supply spacers to drop that driver's side bracket along with the Sway Bar Relocation kit. :
