Giving it a true 2" of lift would require the use of coil spacers. However, with the bumpers and side steps, then I would go for an Old Man Emu 2" Medium Duty lift and it would compensate for the additional weight without issues.

almost any coil lift will give you more than 2", they do this to allow for larger bumpers and such. so with increased weight still get desired lift.

the TF 2" coil lifts closer to 2.5-2.75"

2 inches is allotta lift on a 10" rubi. You might wanna scale it down a bit.
