Bumper/lift and rubbing on tight corners issue

I am debating whether to ditch my ARB front bumper or to put spacers in the front. I have bilstein 5100s and BFG K02 285/70/17r's which are rubbing on tight corners. If I removed the bumper would the front sit higher or at least add enough clearance to prevent rubbing?

 

You could just add heavier springs to support the bumper and maintain lift. You may or may not get more lift from removing the bumper if you don’t have aftermarket springs.

 

Even with the shocks extended the full 2.5"?

 

If you preloaded the 5100’s with stock coils that won’t do much because the stock coils aren’t rated for that much weight.
