I found rubbing with my 2" AutoSpring!

Check this out: Is this normal? Has anyone seen this before? Could we have installed it wrong?

Bring it back to where you got it from and ask them to fix it.

Oops. You can't do that. You bought it online. They'll usually tell you that you did something wrong and that they can't warranty or fix user errors.

X2, Turn your wheel all the way in one direction, then get out of your truck and take a look. You'll see where the contact is made, but again, it's totally normal and has nothing to do with the AS. I'll take a picture of a stock truck today and show you.

What made you think the AS had something to do with that?
