I know what you are saying, and I almost have the same issue (its close to hitting the bumpstop cup on one side) and on the other side, the top front part of the spring is contacting the inside of the upper perch/spring bucket. It will rub and make a loud noise on large enough bumps. Some people told me it was normal and theirs is the same, but It wasn't like that until I installed a currie TB and 3/4'' spring spacers for the winch. Does yours also rub there or just the inside of the coil instead?
