Unimog Axles have entered the chat. 
Back in the day there was a place in Grass Valley, California that could get mog axles hella cheap.

For this, a spacer should do the trick. I’m thinking 1.25 spidertrax. But u would need to take some measurements to make sure what spacing u need.
Yeah I'd just like to not run spacers, personally. These reservoirs seem like silly placement, and I can't be the only one rubbing quite a bit on such a tame setup... In fact on the setup Total Chaos recommends.

I've got Icon's at all for corners. Have to rebuild them every few years, which I hate.
If you go to my build thread, post #4 you can see exactly what I have for suspension, wheels and tires that have worked flawlessly for over 5 years. Yeah, I'm a little on the more extreme side, but if you want to scale it down for your build, you'll still be okay.
Builds - R²M 2013 GX 460 Overland Build
I purchased this 2013 GX 460 Premium edition around May, 2018. Only had 38,000 miles, very clean and stole it from a Lexus dealership for a little over $32,000. It was previously a small Korean moms car. Deduced this by: When I pressed the seat memory to see where it landed, I had my knees...

Spacers will not get you any more suspension travel, just raise your rig. Most of the after market suspension's will give a better than stock ride. Personally, mine rides awesome. But... I do have the heaviest weight springs and I am very loaded for overlanding.
I have a zero offset wheel. When I went up to 35" i rubbed the Fox reservoirs and the UCA. I've been running a 1.25" spidertrax without any issues.

Oops...
Awesome, thanks for the input. Yeah, I meant wheel spacers :-D Sounds like I may just need to suck it up and run wheel spacers. Or figure out a relocation for the reservoirs.

Can you post a couple of photos down the side of your rig to see how flush (or not) your tires are to the fenders?

FWIW, I ran wheel spacers with 33's on my 0 offset wheel for 10K miles, no issues. But I do all the work on the rig on my own. If you take it to a tire shop and they gonna just put a air gun to it, then I cringe. I make sure to apply anti sieze to the surfaces (not the threads) and make sure it's torqued correctly. I apply loctite to the threads. If you know how to run it, then you shouldn't have any issues.
When I went to a -25 offset wheel to run 35's, I sold my 1.25" spidertrax spacers to a 4Runner owner for the exact same problem you're having. I believe he had Fox resi's but the mounting locations are all pretty much the same I believe.
With anything, educating yourself on proper operation and maintenance will take you far.

Very interested in how these fit and handle.
Recently put Kumho Geolander MT 285/75R17 on my GX. Comes out to about a 34” tire, up from 33’s.
