Default Tires Rubbing on front lower control arms??

I'm building my JK and installed the Superlift 4" rockrunner suspension and have added the 1.5" wheel spacers and mounted 35x12.50's on the factory wheels. I've had it aligned twice to allow suspension settle. I still have a little rubbing of the tires on the front lower control arms at full turn left and right. I was told by an offroad company to adjust the knuckle so I won't be able to turn as sharp. I thought I would post here and see if anyone has had that problem. What to do????

You can slap a washer or 2 on your knuckles and that should do the trick.

Shim out your steering stops with washers. There is a write-up with pics somewhere around here if you search.

I shimmed mine and it helped a lot. It took about 10 min and I can't tell any difference in the turning radius

I appreciate the quick response. I'm pretty sure I know where they are but I can't find any pics. If anyone has a pic that would be great.
