Default Question about ripping poplar

If I rip the stiles at 2" wide and 85" long will
it spring apart or together like cheap pine does?

It may or may not.

Cut one or two, 1/2" wider, then trim to size, if needed. If there's no flex, during initial cutting, and you feel confident there won't be any flex, then cut the remainders to appropriate size.
