At some point they have to flip, with a 2-3" lift, I'd figure at about 40º, or at least that's what I'm counting on. Curious to see if anyone actually knows the numbers.

To many variables to stamp a number on it. Sure flat parking lot, not moving get a forklift and see were your particular truck puts the metal on the ground. Will not mean anything in the real world however.
Static I bet it will go 45° but its weight transfer that puts you over. In the past I begin to pay close attention at 30° (where the wife gets out) I have been 33° in my old black truck pictured with 37's and a lot of lift provides a solid pucker factor.
removed snorkel, clearanced guard properly (5mm interference all hail die grinder!), replaced crappy zinc hose clamps with h/duty stainless ones, got rid of scotch lock city under the dash, plasti dipped centre console, degreased engine bay, re tapped and replaced diff crossmember & front under guard bolts, new horn, fixed uhf, polished air box, changed filter for nice big afe one, touched up some stone chips

My driveway is ~35 degree slope at its worst, and has an access road turnoff where its not quite that steep...too much pucker to turn "up" the driveway and shift all the weight toward the downhill from the turnoff slope...I turn down the hill with the turnoff cut. Somebody go run some tests for us
Decided to finally try plasti-dipping the front grill and part of the headlight surrounds dark grey. A bit too cold outside so why not use Mom and Dad's basement as a warm dry spray booth? Little did I know the HVAC intake is down there and I fumigated the dining room just before Christmas dinner . Thankfully I'd given Mom and sister scented candles for Christmas.
Rebuilt the knuckles on my '91. The were both leaking and my diff fluid was a nice grey color. Wheel bearings were also shot and wobbly.
Big difference on the road. Much more solid drive and a huge peace of mind knowing that it's less likely to destroy the front end. Learned quite a lot about the truck. Someone has been in there before as there were aftermarket seals, but Koyo bearings. Lots of marks as it looks like whoever did it last time did not get a 54mm socket and just used a screwdriver and hammer to tighten the nuts. They were barely finger tight during disassembly.
