what size tires and what rims? if you're running 31's or bigger you need rims with 4.5 inches of backspacing or less. 31's on stock rimms will rub the lower control arm when turning hard.

that's why... find you a set of rims with 4.5" of backspacing or less. Jegs has crager soft 8's, 15 x 8, with 4" backspacing for 39 bucks a piece.

Sounds like your axle is pushed over towards the drivers side thus pushing your LCA's to be sideways and causing your tire to rub. Do you have an ADJ. trackbar? or a lift and stock trackbar?
