they will do that at full flex (in this case no weight on the wheels), my kit, the autospring 2.5", is designed where they wont hit each other like that, so when i have mine jacked up all the way they dont hit...

if you dont wheel hard you should be fine, and the angle should be ok too, 2.5" is as a big as a kit that you would want to tun tho

Mine did the same thing as I recall. Once the truck is on all 4's you'll be cool. Like ford4wd08 said, "dont wheel hard you should be fine"
