Unhappy New tires new rub

I hope someone knows an inexpensive way to help. I just bought some BFG A/T KO yesterday. I went from 305/70-16 to 315/75-16 and now have a bad rub. They are mounted on 16x10" wide wheels. I have the leveling kit already and can't afford to spend a couple grand on a suspension lift. What would you recomend? Body lift?

Buy some DT 1/2inch extended track bars. They will push your axle foward which should eliminate most of the rubbing issues. One problem is your rim size16x10rims arent always the best idea. I understand that new rims are out of the question but this should help. Price around $425

I think he ^^ means control arms. They may help, IDK, never tried it. I ran the same tires in a 35x12.50x16.50 on my 95 with no lift, no level...nothing. The only thing it rubbed on was the plastic fender liner, after about 6 weeks its wore its way through the plastic and didn't rub anymore. If thats the only place its rubbing just cut it out and live with it.
