wehre does it rub? when you turn? go over bumps? if it when you turn, your gonna need some wheel spacers, if its bumps, your gonna need to take those stock flares off and trim. The CLEANEST look would be a well thought out and double..no.. tripple measured fender cut, or some fender flares. my personal fav is the flat bushwackers...but thats my opinion
BTW niceeeeeee

It's rubbing during turns, and I think it's rubbing on the front and back of the wheel.. Trimming the bumper extentions seems pretty straight foward. but the backside of the fender/flare is what I'm unsure of...
Oh, and the tires are 31/10.50's, and the lift is 3 7/8" in the front and 3 1/2" in the rear according to parts.
But from the measurements it's about 4" in the front, and 4 1/2" in the rear. The back was way up at first so I added Daystar pucks in the front to compinsate...

Take it to a parking lot and turn until you feel the rubbing. Put it in park and get out and look to see where you are making contact. Then you will know which direction to head. I have 3" lift on 31's and rub on LCA's - like others said, I suspect this is your problem also. I would think that your backspacing would be fine for 31's - how wide are your wheels?
