It's not 2" but I ran Spidertrax on my WK for years without issues. Great brand, great reputation.
Of course with spacers - you'll always want to check them to make sure they're torqued appropriately every tire rotation.
Spidertrax make the spacers in 1.75" if you're interested:

Proceed with caution. After installation of 1.25" Mammoth spacers, my JT developed the death wobble. They are for sale cheap in the classified section if you would like to try them.

Installation and frequent checking is important. I had the Spidertrax on my JKU and never had an issue. Tire shop installed them for me along with Loctite and marked each with a marker. Checked after install at 500, 1000 and 3000 miles, never needed an adjustment. But be aware that many places like Les Scwab, Costco, others will not work your Jeep with spacers on. I did have a death wobble issue but found it was not related to the spacers.
That said, think of them as a temporary fix and consider new wheels.

1.75 clears the lugs and gives a good stance with stock rims very similar to 0 offset. If you buy quality like spidertrax there won't be any issues running them either. You have to check them after the first I think 50ish miles but after that you are basically fine other than checking them every tire rotation.

I went with 1.75 inch Teraflex spacers and love them thus far. I knew they would only be temporary. However it's taken me longer than expected to buy my aftermarket wheels. But these have been great for my stock wheels. Poke amount is just right. I'm even basing the offset of whatever new wheels I do get off the same amount/effect. To echo @bleda2002 above, My new wheels I'm trying to stay around a 0 offset for the same effect. Once I get the new wheels of course I'll ditch the Teraflex spacers but I highly recommend them.
I've been wheeling with them numerous times. Nothing against Spidertrax but I've got other Teraflex products and know they're reputable. Plus I try to keep as many of the same brands that I can.

It’s important that they are good quality and hub centric. Spidertrax is about the best you can get. I’ve had them on my 21 rubicon for 20k miles. It’s absolutely true that they need to be torqued to factory lug Alec, which is 130 ft lbs, and should be loctited. It’s also not a good idea to use an impact wrench on them. I do my own rotations and so don’t allow 17 year olds at tire shops to touch them. I’m running them with 37’s and stock rubicon wheels. I wheel it hard and have zero issues with them. I’m running the 1.75” size. Many will say spacers are bad. If installed correctly, and not abused, and if they’re not Amazon junkers, they’ll work great.

Spidertrax 1.75 since day one, not a problem almost 3 years.

They don’t require an extra maintenance. You just need to install them properly and not abuse them with impact wrenches. Mine didn’t fail on the rubicon trail.

Exactly. Been to Windrock multiple times among other places and not a single problem.

Blah blah blah, they work fine. I have 2” hubcentric wheel spacers on my 2020 Sport Max Tow (wider axles) with wrangler rubicon wheels and 37” BFG AT KOs. Over 50, 000 miles and never an issue with them. I put them on using lock-tite, and check them about every 10,000 miles. I’ve used similar 2” wheel spacers on Jeeps for 20 years with no issues ever.
I like the stock look of the rubicon wrangler wheels and now you can get them in a 17x9 with less back spacing, but I purchased my stock rubicon wheels for $50.00.
