I came across this: http://liftyourxj.com/tweaks.html#SteeringStops and I never adjusted them when adding my 33x12.50s. Could it help?

If it were me I would pick up a different set of wheels before limiting the turning, not being rude but plaine steel wheels like that are not really expensive. I have seen alot of them around 80 a piece new and I think 4 wheel parts is running a special right now where its buy 3 get one free and I think maybe even free shipping. You could probably get by with that tire for the spare and buy a new set with the proper back space.

Looking at your jeep you seem fine in the rim backspacing department. I would leave the wheels as they are. Just extend the front bump stops and adjust your steering stops. Call it a job well done!

Silly question, but does adjusting the bump stops affect the steering and turning? I thought it was mainly for flexing and the like? I'll tweak the steering for the time being, either until I figure this out or get new rims. Thanks
