2.5" and cut flares is a real good set up if you are gonna be wheelin it and flexing. My 2.5" budget boost didn't rub the stock flares the few times I had it out before I cut it, with aftermarket shocks and more flex it would rub. Cut flares just plain look better too 
If you're just doing it for show and not flexing/ wheeling it, then you can easily run 35's with 2.5" and stock flares or probably even a 1.5" leveling kit.

i have 35's (315/70/17 BFG AT T/A KO) and a super-cheap 1 3/4" daystar budget boost with stock fenders on a 2013 unlimited. rest of suspension is stock. it rubbed on the air dam and needed trimming just with road driving - i also did a small trim on the pinch seam. on the trails the rear rubs on the fenders and slightly on the rear bumper, and is very close to the pinch seam when flexed. i am going with flat fenders and trimming the pinch seam some more.

If you run stock flares and bump stops and disconnect for offroad, you WILL rub, period, with any 32.5"+ tire and only a 2" lift. (32.5" is mounted height)
