Exclamation Need help! Rubbing issues!

I have a 2000 xj and sitting right now my tires are rubbing on my rear cross members. My tires have wear marks from the rubbing. I was going to installl cheap metal spacers as I have a really tight budget I'm still In high school lol. Any way I don't have enough length on my wheel studs to add these metal spacers and the good wheel spacers are $$. My tires are 31/10.50/15. What is a cheap way to fix this issue?? Plz helpp!!

could be your double cardon joint on your front driveshaft needing grease or wore out. that is if the noise feels like its right underneith your feet.

How could you tell if it was the front drive shaft? If it does need to be greased how would I do that?
