If your alignment is ok now adding a 1.75" lift is not going to change much of anything other then steering wheel will be a little off center.

I put a 2" Rancho lift on my JK and didn't require alignment. Your jeep shouldn't need anything. Tow is the only thing that is adjustable.

Don't waste your money on an alignment. Re-center your steering wheel yourself using the write ups section. It's a five minute job.

^^^ This ^^^

The toe-in should not change with the lift. Caster is not adjustable with stock control arms. Camber can't be adjusted at all. Just center the steering wheel.
