Default GMT 900 Belltech 2/4 Drop rubbing

I just finished installing my beltech 2" Drop with Spindles and 4" Rear with Shackles and Rear Axle Block Removed. It rides fantastic! Way better than I expected to be honest. Maybe the Rear Hellwig Swaybar helps too.

The problem I am having is the front tires are rubbing on the inner fender when turning at close to full lock. It's bad enough I have removed my front mudflaps and it still rubs. Is there anyone else that had this problem with factory sized tires?

Yup.

My almost 2in front drop rubs my mud flaps very close to full lock. They don't rub hard enough to rip them off so I just let it rub and stopped caring. I've run 2 different sets of 265/65/18 factory tires and it's the same on both. A smaller tire or different rim spacing would likely fix the issue.
