Will need some bumpstops, but damn that is a killer accomplishment with JUST 2 inches!!
And some renderings of the JT - just how close will it be to this 
Those are some gawd awful bumpers

It already has the Mopar bumpstop extensions as shown there. Biggest problem is the stupid offset they used. The JL uses same wheel offset as JK and tires already stick out past the flare more than a JK(especially with the wider Rubicon axles), then these guys used a stupid wheel offset and cause more issues. Turn under flex and that thing will be ripping flares off. Obviously I don't hate wide Jeeps, but in this case it's unnecessary and is causing more problems than it fixes. The JL Rubicon axles are damn near fullwidths already. Right around 68" WMS-WMS if I remember right.
Those JT rendering bumpers are fairly close to the Sport/Sahara base style on the endcaps where they raise up to meet the flare. JK had that style for international vehicles, it was a unique plastic cover. Looks like on JL they commonized it to do a single version for domestic and international. It'll meet both standards and probably give a miniscule MPG improvement to help their CAFE standards. Fortunately they were smart enough to make it a simple bolt-on piece that can be popped off easily.
