I have been looking for alignment specifications for my 2021 sport to reference with when I get both my tires, wheels, and 3.5 skyjacker installed.
Tires-Milestar Patagonia MT 33/17/12.5 6 in overlay; wheels- 17/8.5; skyjacker 3.5 in. dual-rate long-travel lift kit. Is there any chance someone who know what the measurements would be so I can make this happen?

Does the lift come with adjustable control arms? If it does not there is nothing to align you just center the steering wheel.

...and yes I am putting 33's on as well.
Not to offend, but why would you put a 3.5" lift and run 33's? You can run 33's stock? Might want to re-think the tire size, I'd go 35's at a minimum, the Gladiators should have come stock with 35's, the 37's just start to fill the wheel wells. Just my $.02

Get adjustable control arms not fixed. 3.5 inches is way to high without adjustable intros arms. That’s to much lift for 33s. Look at the Clayton off road JT ride right. U only need 2.5 for the 35s on a sport.

You saying the 3.5 won't be a good match for the 33's?

you can throw 33s on your Jeep as is without rubbing. 33s are small for a 3.5inch lift. For that big you want 37s. I run 35s on a 3.5 and it’s okay but 37s will look so much better.

correct, 33's if you just level it, no lift... 2.5"-3.5" lift will look silly with 33's.. I just put in teraflex 3.5" springs on 35's look good, 37's would look even better but I'm not buying new tiress right now, must photos of lifts here seem to be 3.5"
The mopar 2" I believe is really 3.5 front and 2 rear, mopar calls it 2"

If the lift comes with a specific length control arm to work with the amount of lift the springs provide why would they need to be adjustable?
IMO adjustable control arms are just another failure point and add complexity to the lift that is not needed.

Well to be honest, I wasn't looking for what is fashionably acceptable. I was going for more utilitarian, purposeful, and give the truck more clearance to handle the terrain when out wheelin.
