Truck ever been in a wreck? I've never crawled under mine to look and see how much clearance there is but something tells me GM wouldn't design it to be that close. Guys install larger diameter swaybars than stock without issues. I think you got other problems.

Is the truck lifted? Maybe you need some longer end links?
