how high can you go before you need to add top and bottom control arms to fix wrong angles , my JK Rubicon (2dr) I've fitted 65 mm springs and it's all over the road in the steering (your always chasing it) , I went 65 mm as it's just higher than 2" (54mm) and allowing for some sag because of steel bar work , winches , second battery and 60lt fridge etc , look at the pic and it doesn't look high and it has 315/70 tyres (not quite 35's) it's not nice to drive and I what to fix it , thanks

They say over 2 to 2.5" of lift you need adjustable control arms, you should have adjustable track bars so the axles are centered under the Jeep.

Does anyone have the wheel/alignment figures and what is the pinion angle (diff) is meant to be (factory) , I should start there instead of guessing , in other pic's the diff does seem central in the car or if it's out it would be very minimal

It may not take to much for the front or rear to be off centered to make a issue. Just stand a level against the tires and measure to the fenders on the front to see if the if the distance is the same and then do the rear.
