Default 31's on stock rims - rubbing solutions

I went from 4" backspace steelies back to stock alloys and have a bit of rubbing. on the inner guard, and edges of the flares. Tyres are 31 x 10.5

3.5 inch lift, 2" bumpstop drop on the front, and 3" on the rear.

I've done some trimming as per Go Jeep's site. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to prevent rubbing with this lift and tyre combo?

wheel spacers will work but not advised. maybe 10 mm wheel spacers will be enough

You didn't mention rubbing on the LCA's, so that's good.

I don't understand why you're rubbing where you mentioned with only 31's, that much lift & bump stopping.
I ran similar with only 2" lift & didn't rub

Is your lift all with springs or a budget lift with spacers & shackles?
Maybe the springs are very soft, compressing easily.

It rubs on the LCAs now and again, but I'm no so fussed about that. The lift is springs on the front and springs and extended shackles on the rear. The tyres are Bighorns and the rubbing is on the plastic inner flare and the in ER wheel arch on the rear. So I am thinking trimming and a bump stop drop might sort it but keen to hear what others have done.
