you want 3.75 to 3.5 at least for 12.5 wide tires. even then you will still rub slightly on the left lower control arm.

You can turn the steering stops out a bit. It will lessen turning radius slightly, but help prevent scrubbing. Tubular LCA's (of which you probably already have) will help too. Make sure your bump stops are long enough. No need to mess up your tires/flares from over stuffing. Post pics when they're on man! Good luck.
