Question 2004 F-150 New Wheels & Tires.. Rubbing Bad! NEED help with Lift Kit... :-/

I have a 2004 F-150 with a 6" Fabtech and 2" coil spring spacers with an add a leaf in back.. I bought 22X11 Fuel Offroad wheels with a -24 offset on my 37" Nitto Trail Grapplers.. In the picture i will try to post..lol cuz im new at this forum...you will be able to see how far i can turn with my lift i have now... The reason i ordered it with the offset and felt sure it would work was, one of my friends has the same truck lift and spacers as me, he used a 20X10 -24 offset with 37" and doesnt rub a bit, he only trimmed a lil..... Obviosuly this 1" difference has got me screwed....

I took it to a body shop to have it trimmed and they would not trim because they said in order to make it work they would have to cut so far they would be into the front corner of the cab....

So..... The big question is....... I want a suspension lift and do not like the looks of a body lift, so im assuming i sell my Fabtech and go with a bigger lift??? If so... What lifts are out there?! All i have found is a Rize 8" and keep my 2" spacers.......

Is going back to 35's out of the question? Your tire shop may be able to credit you some if not most of your money towards new tires, expecially since they're still newish.
