Default Suspension Time?

Hey,
I've got an 06 4x4 with the 5.4. I've got a leveling kit in the front with 33's. I'm just under 65,000 and the front suspension is starting to make some noise when I go over bumps and while turning the wheel. Is this about the average time and miles for the front to wear out?

Also, while inspecting the front I noticed marks on both front springs on the outer part of the spring. It looks like maybe the springs made contact with the control arm. Anyone else ever heard of this?

We have to give you something every once in a while for your morale, your freshman already have a hard time keeping off the freshman 15. I'm sure they put down a few gallons of rocky road every time we whup you guys at football.

OP, the autospring leveling kit has an "offset" to prevent the UCA from contacting the coilover Even with another kit that doesn't have it, I don't think it'd be the cause for the noise though. Jack up your front end and check for excess play, may want to check your alignment too.
