Ive been living with tire rubbing on the LCA's when close to full turning lock for the past 2 years since my lift and 31's
I dont want to lose turning radius so what are some things i can do to prevent this problem.
side note: Does anybody make control arms to alleviate this?

I reading your signature and it says you have a 3" lift. The easiest fix is wheel spacers or wheels with bigger backspacing as the other people stated.

You have a few options-
1. New wheels with less backspacing
2. Wheel spacers
3. New lower control arms, such as these from Rustys Offroad... http://www.rustysoffroad.com/jeep-su...eels-pair.html

Agree with the suggestion of adjustable LCAs. They will push your axle a bit forward and center them better in the wheel well.
Spacer is the other option and cheaper to do...

The cool thing about the Rustys LCAs is you can get in a normal straight arm, or they also make LCAs designed to use stock wheels and fit a 33x12.50 tire!! The link I posted is for the LCAs for stock wheels
