So let's say the tires are rubbing with two inch springs and the current bump stops. Adding a 3" or 3.5" spring will increase the height but the axle will still travel until it hits the bump stop.

More lift and extending the bump stops together can remedy rubbing.

OP doesn't want to extend the bump stops.

Having re read my posts I am a bit unclear sorry.
The front tyres are rubbing both sides when on full lock turning. This rubbing is on the chassis.
As I said earlier as the lift is small I dont want to bump stop much more.
I have attached a pic.
Thanks all for your comments

If I change offset I will need wider flares as the guards won't cover tyres which the police are all over where I am.
What is the widest flat flare?

Follow the procedure at the website I posted earlier so your steering wheel is slightly more limited and you should be fine.

If it is only that much rub when wheeling I would leave it alone and not even worry about it.

Did the steer stop adjustment and seems to have solved it. Thanks all for the tips
