I think you will be ok on the driver side, but you may want to look at the passenger side. These are the only pics I have of the carrier from there.

PSSD ladder will not work. DRSD you're OK.
//unless yoy decide to modify the GOBI ladder.
You'd have to notch it out.

Ran that setup without any issues. You cannot run a passenger side rear ladder with the or-fab but no issue with driver side ladder. The or-fab makes a great platform to tilt the rack back on when lowering the soft top also.

Only issue I've encountered is the rugged ridge tail light guards and gobi. I almost ripped one off, the ladder caught on the taillight guard.

The teraflex third brake light mount is also great with both gobi and or-fab.

Sorry it took so long, just got my JK back last night from it getting a bunch of other stuff done.
Here are some close ups of the hinge area. Hope they help

No problem. I'd imagine that if you have the ability to do some slight modding you could make it work. Looking at pics I've seen of how/where the passenger ladder ends, to me it looks very close to the top of the tire carrier hinge bracket. That being said. I'd imagine that since the tire carrier hinge bracket is adjustable, so you can line it up and such that you may be able to shift it down a little bit and have to do minimal notching to the bottom of the gobi ladder. Either way, I'm sure if you take your time on it you can make it work.

Gobi's driver side ladder will install w/ OR Fab. It is highly likely you would have to mod the passenger side ladder (if it is even possible) with either a higher mount or cut out notch.
