first trip. rub issues

so i took my truck out for its first real wheeling trip. did really well. but i noticed that my stock shocks are really soft. and i rub some times. if i was to get some rancho 5000s would that help protect against the rubbing issues? will they not flex as easy and my stock ones?
ill through a pic on here. not too many good ones. but the terrain was tougher than it looks in the pics

The shocks wont stop the rubbing. All shocks do it dampen the effects of the springs...basically keeping it from bouncing all over the place. If you dont want to rub, you have to A. Cut sheet metal, or B. Lift the rig.

wide tires 11.5's and 12.5's are gonna rub unless you have a lift theres no other way around it unless you trim fenders
