yeah never thought about that, maybe body lift isnt the way to go then, you're intending on fitting 33's arnt you so you would have the same prob if not worse of the tyre fouling on that part of the body
bumpstops are only meant to stop the shocks from bottoming out. correctly set up they don't limit suspension travel or articulation.
Surely if you modify to a longer
Bump stop it will impinge the articulation to where you have put the bump stop to ? The axle will stop at the bump stop inside the spring and stopping it articulating as much and not compressing the shock as much as well as the spring as that is where the bump stop is located ?
Yes of course you can install very long bumpstops and ride with your axles on the bumpstops all the time. But then what's the point in fitting longer shocks and springs if you want to limit travel and articulation?
The whole point of a bumpstop lies in it's name. To prevent damaging the shock on bumps. Same as limit straps does it the other way.

Should have room enough for the 31" tyres.
Here is a pic of where it is rubbing, this is basically looking at the back of the front bumper
You cut the box section back behind the head lights what lift did you have etc?
4" lift. It's only just rubbing by an inch or so that s why I thought to go down the body lift route but I will have a gap around the top of my ora HD bumpers. As they don't make a bracket for the bot on bumpers to raise them
