Just ordered Cooper STT and 16x8 for my 2dr, now I need your advices on which lift to get. I am thinking a lift between 2~3inch. THANK YOU!

Depends on what you're going to be using your rig for. If you're just mall crawling, stay stock, it won't rub. If you're going to wheel it, then a budget boost would be just fine. TeraFlex, Rubicon Express or Full Traction make decent budget boost kits.

Then a 2.5" budget boost is just fine. If you search on here, PLENTY pf pages will come up with LOTS of information.

x2: if you are going to run 33s a 2 or 2.5" BB will be fine.

I also recommend the Old Man Emu kit! Rides great, IMO better than the stock suspension does.

I'll let you know for certain after I get back from Moab. I dont have a lift with
33's right now, and it seems fine from the steep snow hill I climbed up on the other day to test it.

Of course at full flex up on the rocks it might be different.....we'll see. I figure I might need a 1 inch body lift at the most. I dont want any more lift than I truly need. I like to keep the center of gravity as low as possible.

I heard good things on OME, but it gives 3inch more lift, isn't it?

I can get my 33's to rub a little with no lift. But... the truck was twisted to the point where 1 wheel was over a foot off the ground. And it was only a little rear fender well plastic contact. A little spacer on the bump stop would solve it completly. If I had know there was that much room in those fenders I would have bought the 35's.
