I ran 30x9.5-15 all terrains on a 2" OME lift for a long long time...
Factory bumpstops will be fine.
You will not rub the stock bumper extensions, even when flexed and turning at max.
The tires will kiss the upper coil spring coil/shock mount... minimal rib, and it's on a very smooth raduised piece of metal... no worries.

The stock front stops presently have 3" clearance before bottoming out. The stock rear bump stops presently installed are 3" tall and have 3" clearance before bottoming out.

I also will keep in mind the hockey pucks for the front and the square tubing for the rear. I guess what it comes down to is that I want to maintan the present 3" clearance in the front & rear. Does this sound correct?

thats exactly what i would do.

bumpstops do more than keep the tires out of the fenders

they eliminate the possibility of bottoming out the shocks and will keep you from overcompressing your springs which would lead to a lesser spring life
