Will they rub or hit the bump stops first?

I have the Rubicon Express 2" budget boost on my JKU. With the bumper and winch, there is an extra 100+ lbs up front and I probably lost about an inch of the lift. With 35" tires, on full compression, will my suspension hit the bump stops before the tires rub inside the fenders? If so, your suggestions?

I would think it should still hit the bump stop. It might hit them sooner though.

Probably the fender first then the stop. But very slight margin.

You may rub before you get to the bump stops. You added bigger tires and only added about an inch given the weight of the other mods you mentioned. If you really want to know for sure, compress if till you get your answer.

I have a 3.5" RE lift which was 4.3" of true lift and I can rub my 33's if I get it twisted up hard. I am guessing your going to rub hard with a 2" BB and 35's unless you cuy some fenders or have some killer size bumpstops.
