Default Is this normal??

Ok im sorry for bringing up the whole leveling kit thing but I am in the process of putting mine on now. I have the spacer in and my strut back in and have the ball joint together, but my concern is should my spindle were the ball joint is be touching the coil? I am thinking the once I have the wheel on and the truck is back on the control arm while move up allowing everything to clear the coil. Any fast help would be awesome!

when you get the truck back on it's own weight it won't be like that anymore.

autospring 69.99 shipped free, no point in paying more for something that does the same thing

i would still go with the autospring its offset so it wont hit the coil as mentioned above, and the daystar is poly, i would much rather have steel

I did the pro comp. My buddies dad bought it for his truck and never got to it and sold it to me for $50. I will post some pics this weekend sometime!
