2" AS Install Question

Whats up guys. I am in the process of installing my 2" AS kit and had a question. After I got everything installed, I noticed that the upper control arm rests on the coil when it is fully extended (still sitting on jackstands). Is that normal? I just finished up but I want to find out if somehow I did something wrong. Not sure what you could do wrong but just making sure. Thanks in advance for any input.

Yes, that is normal. On the stock setup the control arm would be close to hitting the spring at full droop but because the spring assembly was moved lower with the AS install, the angle on the upper control arm was also dropped causing it to hit the spring at full droop.

If you do mostly street driving you shouldn't need to worry about the upper control arm hitting the springs. If you do alot of off-roading and flex the suspension too much the control arm will hit the spring.
