My suggestion
Go to youtube and search Jeep roll over, there are A LOT of videos, some longer than other. Watch what others have done and learn from their mistakes. They happen at all different speeds and degrees of incline as well as different level of modification, lift. There is no real rule of thumb for this except use a spotter and make sure you trust your spotter.

Your question can be answered only by going to the point it actually rolls. That point will be valid only when the JK is setup, fueled, packed, etc. exactly the same way.
There are too many variables to put a number to it.
Even if you determine how far it can go on one off-road trip, it will be different on the next trip.

In a way, this is the best method... Go as far as you are comfortable. The less experience you have (like myself) the more conservative you should be. I got lucky on my virgin off road trip and ran into some guys who gladly let me join their group (an old Jimmy, a heavily modified Cherokee and a buggy) and I was usually the second to last. Plenty of places, if I hadn't seem them do it, I wouldn't have even thought about it.
With that said, Hidden Falls has some pretty straight forward trails and in most situations it looks like sliding into a rock or tree was the most likely result of error.

Not sure why you would determine by sticking something in your rear to keep you from rolling,but hey to each their own I prefer you go over or you don't
