If you take them off you'll have the holes from where they screw on. I would leave them on. I like how it looks. And you should not have any problems offroad.

yea it looks good but i just had this problem. I have the same jeep as you 2001 limited with a 2 inch rubicon express lift. I just had gotten 30x9.5r15 and i went wheelin and all of my flares got popped out of place. They usually dont go back on either. i tried putting them back on and 3 out of 5 bolts snapped for the bracket for them. I got pissed and ripped them all off and now i run bushwacker cutouts

It also depends on terrain and BS of wheels.

the back spacing on my cragars is very close to stock. the back spacing on these rims do no justice for the giant *** buchwackers. looks dumb but im not going to get new rims until my rubicon express 5.5 long arm kit comes in

I have yet to notice any rubbing. It was dark when i finished, but i drove it around some and it seemed fine. Im sure once i flex ill see where it hits.

Looks just like my buddy's 98 Classic...only he's got BFG AT's...but on the same wheels and on a 2" BB.....love the small lift/big tire combo!

Did you get any vibes at 2"?
