Yes they will, i have them on my defender at the moment. My front springs are sagged a lot (steel bar, and standard old springs) and it does touch occasionally, but not enough to worry about. If your springs werent sagged it wont touch at all.

pending on your rim offset they will probably scrub on your radius arms too.
