Anybody know what the best specs are for toe in/out and camber for 2.5 inch lift and 35 x 12.5 R15 KM2s. Called Firestone to setup an alignment and they told me that they wouldn't do it unless I brought in the specs. I don't want to shred my tires up the first year.

for just 2.5" of lift, there's really not a whole lot that can be done in terms of alignment. due to the steering design, your toe will not have changed nor will it need to be changed and, unless you have an adjustable track bar and control arms, nothing can be done to reposition your axle or add caster. being that you have a solid front axle, camber is not something that can be addressed. in other words, the most you will pay for is to have them recenter your steering wheel and you can do that in 2 mins and with a 15mm wrench. please, do yourself a favor, save your money and do this yourself:

I already adjusted the steering after I put the lift on and your right it was easy, been driving it for a week now and tracking well no ESP light on yet. Hopefully it will stay that way when I get my meats put on this weekend. Thanks for the advice! Picture coming soon!
