I just installed a Rough Country 2.5 BB on my 09 two door along with a new set of 4 door rubicon springs. I am extremely happy with how it turned out. The stance and fender gap is just where I wanted it. Wheeled it Saturday and it performed great. No rubbing at all with the swaybar connected. Im running a 315/75/16 bighorn on the stock wheels with Rough Country 1.5" wheel spacers.

I have the OME lift on a 2 door and I've never had any rubbing issues. The shocks you choose will make a difference also. Couldn't be happier with the ride.

I'd show you a picture, but I'm in the buy one item a month install plan.

So in 3-4 months I'll show you a picture.

I have no worries.

2.5 RC + 2.2 Shocks stock bump stops, 16x8 Cragar Soft 8's with 5"BS, 315/75/16 ProComp Xtreme A/T's, 3.73 AT

Rubbed on the stock splash guard at full lock so I tore that sucker out.

When disco'd, I rub against the fender lining so I'm considering removing the lining, then trimming if necessary. -or- will look at some longer bump stops since 90% of the offroading I do are trails and not large obstacles.

On the road, the 3.73 kinda sucks, I thought it was horrible until I drove my buddies 3.21 with 35's. I drive with the OD off all the time and as strange as this may sound, my MPG's went up. Probably has to do with the fact that it's not knocking down a gear everytime I go up a slight incline. I'll be regearing to 5.13's once I find a local shop that wont bend me over, and in the meantime I've just ordered the flashpaq from northridge to take advantage of their 7% discount.
