You might try loosening the inner clamp (on the outer boot, obviously), slide the boot out (toward the diff) as far as it will go in order to stretch it and pull the pleats closer to the axle (and thus farther from the strut), and re-clamping it.
I've figured out the issue, the traction rod was set to a very long setting, I took it off (adjustable) and sthortened it by an inch or two. Now the coilover has about an inch of a half of space between the axle.

This brings me on to my next point, what is the purpose of these traction rods? For rear caster and bump steer adjustments? I am thinking about taking off my adjustable ISR ones and just using the stock arms
