I haven't done that FOR two years.
Or
The last time I did that was 2 years AGO.
Or
It's been 2 years SINCE I did that.
"Since"... and .... "ago" DO NOT belong together so you can scratch that possibility.

Here are a couple options to rewrite that sentence so it will be grammatically correct.
I haven't done that in two years.
It's been two years since I've done that.
The last time I did that was two years ago.
Two years ago was the last time I did that.
Hope this helps:)

No it is not. You could try saying I have not done that the past 2 years.

Not really, it would be better to say: "I haven't done that for 2 years."

I wouldn't say it is grammatically incorrect, but it verges on redundancy. "Since [a date]" is the same as "[time period] ago." Modern English does not take kindly to redundancy; older usage as emphasis was more accepting.

I think, "I haven't done that for 2 years, " sounds better.

I am not sure about the first part but the second part should be Together Since.

no its wrong.
the correct form would be deleting the 'ago'.
Since and ago cannot be used together, as 'since' represents something that is continuous, while 'ago' shows something that has ended in the past

Why can't you say, "I haven't done that for two years".
Or, "Its been two years since I've done that".
