No direct experience with those but the install looks like a 4 out of 10 on a DIY scale. It will require drilling 2 holes. Install video shows them cutting the original lower shock mount studs off the control arms, but I’m not totally sure that’s necessary.

It should certainly fix your rubbing issue. For the install you flip the control arms over, and the new spring mount plate moves the spring forward 2”. This retains the original suspension geometry, just moves the wheels further forward.
