Welcome to the forums!
That's the one I have in my '13 JKU. It does fit as far as measurements, but there is very little legroom. I have to caution you though on a few things.
1 - The storage area cover interferes with mounting the rear latch.
2 - You do have to drill into the floor for the front brackets.
3 - Depending on what seatbelts you decide on, you will have to drill into the floor for that too. If you mount to the seat and cannot attach the rear latch to a homemade plate over the storage area, the seat would tumble forward during quick stops or a collision. These are the belts I went with Robot Check .
I will be making or modifying the way it mounts to the floor when my new torch and welder arrive so I can finally get the rear latch installed and feel better about how strong it is.
I am also ordering the Rock Hard 3rd Row accessory bar to add to the stock cage soon for a piece of mind. Rock Hard 4x4 3RD Row / Accessory Mount Sport Cage for Jeep Wrangler JK 4DR 2007 - 2015
I hope I didn't burst your bubble. Just giving it to you based on my experience in doing the same thing. BTW, where are you located? I'm in the middle of nowhere West Texas. Just wondering in case you want/need some help with this.

Littleseats.com and Teraflex make great 3rd row upgrade options and when you select what you feel most comfortable installing, take a look at our 3rd row cage:
