Default Are these alignment specs ok?

After all the hype about bent axles I had my alignment checked today. I am getting ready to lift my JK up a bit and want to know that my axle is ok first.

2008 2 door jk with the venerable Dana 30 up front. I already have ARB's and 4.56's so I want to stick with it and beef it up. If these specs are to far out then I will get a new housing from mopar ($1200 in case you're wondering)

Numbers for the camber Left -0.37 Right -0.62

According to the specs both are out a bit. So to any steering geometry guru's...gussets and go or get a new housing? 35/37 inch tires are to expensive to be wearing out prematurely due to camber issues.

Thanks guys.

Mine are both in around those specs. I know that that is out of what the factory spec is, but doing a some looking around on this sight it looks like a lot of people are getting the same. Any ways you can get off set ball joints (+ / - .5 degrees) I'll do them once my ball joints are worn out. That little bit of negative camber shouldn't cause any problems as long as you are rotating your tires. Cars run up to -2.0 and don't wear to bad.
