2" is a lot of tire to have outside your body. Why would you want so much? I have about 1" and it seems like PLENTY.
I've heard of areas who restrict how far your tires can stick out.
If you still want that much sticking out... what wheel width will you be running? Are you running wheel spacers? After some confusion when I lifted... I now follow a TrailX suggestion and Only measure backspace.

It's not how fast you go. It's how quick you get there. Lifted TBSS Build

I have 35mm of offset on mine.
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

this calculator should help
A lot depends on how wide of a rim you have vs how wide you are going to.
