My drive shaft is rubbing any suggestions?

I am running at least 2" of lift in the rear with budbuilt skids and stock arms. I have never had an issue with rubbing, even at full flex either way.

When I had my 2" Toytec superflex lift I had no problems

I got the new pan hard bar put in and adjusted it 1/8" over it seems to not rub so far
I am getting it aligned tomorrow and having my mechanic friend look over the lift install I will post what he finds or .....

An 1/8" isnt enough, it looks like that is just how tight the skid is built to the drive shaft.
 
Well it's aligned but he pointed out the rear hangs 2" lower on the passenger side than the drivers side
So.. after having it up on jack stands all weekend trying to see what I may of done wrong I am thinking it is from the drivers side upper control arm binding? If I remove one side of the arm the axle drops the extra 2"
I am going to call metal tech in the morning
 
Ok so metal tech was super helpful those guys are great!
Turns out I just need to trim my skid plate besides it hit with the allpro springs so hope this works
When I'm sure it will not rub I will weld a piece to cover the side of the tank
