2.5" Leveling Kit Installed Wrong

Hey I am wondering if you guys that have leveling kits on your trucks could shed some light.... I installed a 2.5" Leveling Kit from NCD Customs. When I had the alignment done, they said they couldn't get the caster and camber to 0 but got it "within" standards. I thought that it was odd because the product information said that only the toe in would be off. Now after a few days of driving, I noticed that my upper control arm is rubbing my springs. Both sides have a 1/8" groove in the spring now from the control arm. Has any one else had this problem with the control arm and spring making contact? Thanks for the replies!

I have the NCD as well. I have had it on for a while now and havent had any problems. As for the rubbing, I just went out and looked at my coil and on each side there is a minimal amt. of rubbing on one "rung"?? of the coils. Maybe enough to wear the paint off and it doesnt look fresh. I have had the kit on for 10k miles or so.

It shouldn't have affected the camber, Hmmmm?
I noticed the NCD spacer doesn't have the offset design like the AS to avoid rubbing. I also noticed that NCD has a 30 day satisfation gaurantee.You could try to get your money back if you're not happy with it.
