if it is still up on jackstands/lift this is normal once you put the wheels back on ond get weight on it it will be fine!! mine did the same thing with the 2.5" when i was instaliing the lif the upper a arm was touching the spring but once i got it all together and put the truck back on the ground it was fine!! and no rubbing since..

You will need an alignment after installing the leveling kit so most likely that will solve your problem.
