Default tires rubbing LCA

I know i am just not searching for it right, but i have the usual issue where the front wheels rub against the LCA. I thought somewhere in here there was a post about the LCA's from another jeep that would fit and fix the problem.
I could also be wrong. i am looking for a cheap option.

I think it's either WJ or JK lowers. I'm leaning towards the WJ lowers that have a bend in them. My lowers rub too, and have since day 1 after lift. What do i do? Ignore it, hasn't hurt the tires and only rubbed the paint off the LCAs...

I tried to do that too, but the bolts were welded, so i decided to leave it alone.

the nut is welded to the bolt not the knuckle. just spray it with PB Blaster and get a deep socket over both the head of the bolt and the nut and break it loose and put 2 washers on it. thats what I did. and worked great.
