I got 35" with just a 4" body lift and there was no rubbing at all till I switched from 5.5 to 4.5 backspacing....now it will rub on full turn if I hit a slight bump...
so I'd say you would be ok with the 2" leveling kit....unless you offroad then you would want the added clearance of a 3 or 4 inch lift...more than that and it may look funny like small wheels....last thing you want is the look of an elephant f#$king an ant....

then try them first....they should clear enough to at least drive and if its too close add spacers or lift...you could have sagging springs which would get you less clearance too...

i only had them on for about a day, i wanted to make sure my rims where the rite bolt patteren and the 35's where already mounted, so after i put one on and saw the rims worked i thought to myself "hell lets see what it looks like with the rest of them on there!!! i had to do a 32 point turn to get into my drive way, ever see the movie austin powers where he get that golf cart thing stuck in the drive way?? yea that was me haha
