Fixing tire RUBBING bumper!

My skin crawls evertime my truck starts shaking and i hear the grinding noise. I just put 33in BFG muds with a 3in body lift on my 94' f-150. An easy install and PHAT tires andi relocated my bumper up but there in inch of the bumper tha hits the lugs. Can i space out my bumper from the body or s0mething. Also it only rubbs on one side, which is on the driver side.
thanks,
HENRY

Payed $89 for 3in body lift and $100 for slightly used and mounted bfg's

A co-worker had a 95 Bronco that he shimmed out the front bumper with some washers about 3/4 of an inch and that eliminated his rubbing problem.

I agree - using washers to shim out the bumper seems to be the normal method for these trucks.
