Leveling kit problems?

I'm hearing lots of different opinions on just a simple 2" leveling kit and the biggest concern was the rubbing? anyone get this?

2" AS, 30K miles. Upper ball joints starting to wear out at with 60K miles total. UCA rubs on spring a little bit, nothing bad, and tires rub on LCA, nothing bad. I have no complaints. I love the way it looks and rides, just giving the facts.

Does EZ have the offset? I am told that Auto Spring is the only company with the 1/4" offset to prevent coil spring rubbing. As for my truck, 30,000 miles on the 2" Auto Spring, and the truck is still like new.
