To answer your question again. Its not just one reason but the main reasons why its happening is because you have low offset wheels, are heavy, have soft springs, and are lowered to much.

So to dumb things down when you sit in the car your weight gets distributed between the 4 wheels into something like this

60lbs|50lbs
80lbs|40lbs

So what happens is that one rear wheel has to bare an extra amount of weight and the more weight that wheel has to bare the more it sags so now you have one corner of the car that sags more than the others when you drive around and when you hit bumps and dips it rubs because of just that little bit extra weight on it.

So like I said before to fix the problem pick one of the 3.

That's exactly the information I was looking for thank you!

It clearly explains with my weight vs the different spring rates combined with my sitting position causes different scenarios for each corner.
