level kit ?

i have a 2.5 level kit and changed my front brakes today and seen when the wheel is off the ground the upper control arm hits the coil spring but just barely. is that normal or ok if i go off road and lift a tire off the ground. if it hits with no tire how bad will it hit with the weight of a 35-12.50 pulling down. i think i will be ok but dont want to hurt anything

it's normal. just the nature of the beast. the truck really never sees any time with the front suspension and unsprung weight.

mine was fine for the 3 yrs I had a 2.5" spacer installed
