HELP! Rubbing issues!

Ok guys here's what I've got.. 2010 F150 Screw FX4 w/ 2.5" front level and rear AAL on 35" trail grapplers 20" ballistic jesters

I'm rubbing about an inch on the front backspacing since I went with the jesters. What can I do other than adding a body lift??? Open to any suggestions!

Is it rubbing on the control arm or plastic pieces like the valance ?

I don't like the raked look I have with my 2.5 level and 2 aal. I won't be hauling anymore so I'm not worried about the rear end sagging... just want it to sit level. Gonna try a 3" front level and 1.5" (3) rear blocks. Heard this would give me what I want...

I may just replace the 2.5" with a 3" and leave the aal

Will the 3" level kit set your front U-joints in a binding angle?

It can, BUT i never had any problems with mine that i ran for 20k on my last F150 and 30k on my F150 before it. I hated the stock rake, so i just went with a 3" leveling kit up front and it was MAYBE a tad high in the front, if anything it was level for me. Pics in my albums

3inch is way too much stress on components up front IMO but a lot of guys have problems with going that big and some not at all. Then again guys have problems with 2-2 1/2 inch leveling kits but i guess it all depends on the truck lol.
