Default leveling kit installed...noise when turning right

I put on my hbs 2.5 leveling kit installed on tuesday and now when I turn right I get a noise. It sounds like a mix between a grid and rubbing but only happens when turning right. Driving straight nothing and turning left nothing. The sounds seems to be coming from the front driver side. My truck is an 06 FX4 with 68k on it. Any help would be great thanks.

Right now it is stock wheels/tires. I'm planning on getting an alignment Friday.
