Autospring is the leveling kit that contains the bushings correct? Where you have to disassemble the strut? I have the EZLift, (spacer only) and i havent seen or heard any rubbing, denting or clanking of any sort. Ill give it a thorough look through tomorrow... man, that sucks for everyone with Autosprings kits.

That sounds really sad doesn't it?

The clearance of the control arms and the sharper angles are the reasons I decided not to install the 2" Autospring kit I bought. I sold it and put 2" drop shackles on instead.

Thumper,
I wouldn't worry too much about pricing the factory springs, especially if you're going to do a full lift later on down the road. I've noticed some "rubs" on my coils too, but I plan on doing the Fab-tech w/coils so I'm not overly concerned.....not concerned at all.
