Just had the lift done the 13th...

Tires installed that evening...

Noticed this same day (literally drive home 8 miles)

Nothing stood out previously like this...

Alignment obviously did not fix this, as i have learned camber isn't adjustable.

Do have any wobble?
Are your tires secured properly?

It's a little sloppy but wouldn't call it wobble

I can tell you that brand new from the factory they are coming that way. My 2014 Rubicon came in at -0.9 left and -.06 right after delivery and my buddies brand new crate D44 was -0.9 left and -0.7 right out of the crate. From dana to my garage to the alignment shop 5 miles away. Another alignment specialist who got the same numbers as the first shop told me they are mostly that way on the wranglers he checks. Mine has a RK2.5 as does my buddy but lifts are not the problem it is the D30/44's are coming out at.
