Where is it rubbing? Are you sure it's rubbing and not something else?

1. All 4 tires are rubbing? How do you know?
2. Where is the rub on each tire?
3. How many miles on your car/suspension?
4. How fast are you taking these dips?

Are you sure you're not taking these dips too fast and the car is bottoming out?

sounds like some good ol fender rolling to solve the problem .
do it at home your self with a heat gun and baseball bat

wedge the bat between your tire and fender push down on the handel and roll it along , to push the lip up .
and in the mean time have some one useing the heat gun on the paint so it dont crack .

hope this helps

Any why should someone with stock rims and tires have to roll the fenders?
