I know the jeep is pretty easy to do a DIY wheel alignment. But I was wondering if there is a spec sheet to pass to a garage mechanic for the teraflex 2.5" coil lift and 35's. If not won't they end up aligning it to somewhat factory specs. ??

Unless you went with a ton of adjustable components, he's just going to recenter the steering wheel, maybe set your toe and call it a day. What are you installing? Just the coil and shocks?

Which components come in your lift?

The shop can not adjust Caster unless you add adjustable arms or cams.
The shop can not Center the axles unless you add adjustable trackbars. (brackets will help to center, but obviously not adjustable.)
The shop can not adjust Camber without offset balljoints.

The shop can adjust Toe with stock components.
The shop can center the Steering Wheel with stock components.

Could be. Of course, without adjustable components in your new lift (trackbars, control arms), as others wrote there isn't much adjustable. The steering wheel is centered no matter the lift. The toe in did not change because of your lift, but it should be adjusted with 2.5" and 35s. Here's how to set both yourself--it's way too easy with the most basic of hand tools to pay a shop 70-80 bucks to do. If you installed the lift, this is easy-peasy ...

Yea I installed everything myself. Adjustable track bar, coils, and shocks. I have the axle pretty much center. So with 35" tires I should have my toe in about 1/16" to 1/8" from the back measurement of the tires. For example if my front measurement is 66 1/4", the back of the tires should be 66 3/8". ? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks guys for the help

Yep. Just make sure you're measuring as high up on the front and back of the tires as you can get, and be sure you're using a lug/reference point that is identical for the front and rear. After you've set it, drive around a little (a few dozen feet), then recheck.
