rubbing on daily driver....bigger lift?
i have 3" pro comp coils on the front with a .75" spacer and rough country full 4" packs on the rear. lower control arms for a 3" pro comp lift. i am running 31/10.50 on the front with 1.5" offset spacers, and i rub on the back of my fenders when at full lock. think its a good excuse to get a bigger lift. but what im looking at getting is 1.5" shackles on the rear, 4.5" coils with my .75" spacer on the front, adjustable upper and lower control arms, brake lines, and i need an adjustable trackbar too....all this is aboot 800 bones. is there a way i can get more lift for cheaper while not compromising my ride quality, as this is a daily driver? any ideas would really help, thanks guys. ill put an off road pic cuz i personally like looking at any jeep havin fun in the boonies.....crawlin on rock trails, the town of green river wyoming in the background.

First off, I gotta say I'm a HUGE fan of that color!
Are you rubbing on the flare, the inner fender well, or the lower control arm?
If it's the flare or fender well you'll likely need longer lower control arms to push the axle forward to proper position.

Normally a set of wheels with less backspacing would fix that problem. Considering though that you're running the 1.5" adapters I don't know. Do you know what your total backspacing is by any chance?

If your springs have sagged that would push your axle forward. From the specs you posted, 3.75" total lift with LCAs for 3", makes sense that it would rub on the back without trimming.

Are you sure its your fender well your rubbing on or the lca?
I was running 32's and 2in of lift.
Anyways there is no reason to go larger with your lift.
You need to bump probably 1.5in front and rear.
May have to trim the lower 4in of your rear fender flare about 1/4" and that is about it.
