Sounds like your strut is shot. Time to put on some new ones.

They look like the stock ones I thought about just doing lowering springs and new shocks but I can only find 2" lowering springs and wanna be about a inch to inch and a half off the road any ideas on springs?

Again pictures are way more helpful. It sounds like your wheels have the wrong offset for the width. Being low with a 7 inch wheel on a high offset puts the tire to close to metal lip on the fender. You can either change wheels, go with 195/40-45 tires or add more negative camber.

also man check and see if that fender is rolled, there is a possibilty that maybe the one fender is smooshed in a little bit and the tire isnt rubbing it but the other fender could be orignial and the tire is hitting the tabs where the innner fender mounted too
