I've got a two inch lift on my mav, and i'm a little weary how it rolling. there is no weight on top like a roof rack or anything like that. But what sort of angles should be getting conserned about?

There are to many factors that could change the angle that it would actually go over. eg. momentum, uphill, downhill, smooth terrain, rough terrain.
My suggestion would be that if you are feeling weary about the angle, there is good reason
The pucker factor will usually give you an indication, long before it is likely to go over

X2. It's a very fluid thing. No one likes the feel of side angles, but there's normally a bit of leeway between feeling yucky and actually going over.

it always feels like its is on more of an angle when you are in the car. lots of times I thought the truck was on a fair lean only to get out and it looked like nothing.
the only time to get worried is when you are on your side...or roof

dont worry til it lifts a front wheel, then only worry mildly.
training wheels along the roof line might come in handy if you think its gonna end up on its lid

seat time seat time seat time
they can go over a long way before falling over
pending on the situation and weight distribution
