can please someone help clarify what's happening - nothing change to mods or what so ever. luckily I am planning to do body lift so it will give that 10mm gap again

just fyi a body lift will give you more than 10mm gap.

that's a strange one. check the bolts are tight and realign the bar. having a gap of less then about 15-20 can cause rubbing with body from flex offroad

Would think loose b/bar mountings, but you would think it would drift down not up

have you been off road?
maybe the bar or the brackets have copped some knocks from underneath?

if not have a look at your body mounts.

The bar is moving cause the bolts have loosened off.
Re align the bar and tighten again.

Yeh been wheeling - not much a bashing
However the gap gone worst when after hitting a good size grey

With the bolts - ill try to loose them tomorrow and realign
Hope this will fix it

IV noticed the same thing with my father inlaws Nissan alloy bar. The holes in the mounting bracket were elongating on his. They were no longer a cicle bolt hole they were ovals.

Grab a steely and wack it on, maybe heavier but the grey`s wont know w hat hit them and it wont budge a bit.
