Default Height

Can you guys tell me the height after adding both a 6" lift and either 35" or 37" tires and maybe a 4" lift with the 35s.

And what kind of lift it is. I'm looking for the height to the top and while you have the tape out maybe the height to the point at the bottom of the DS window.

Well, each lift kit varies a little bit, but:

Height of a stock Rubicon w/ 32" tires : 72.3 inches (6 feet .3 inches)

So, if you add 4 inches of lift you get : 76.3 inches (6 feet 4.3 inches)

If you went to 35" tires, you'd add 1.5 inches of height : 77.8 inches (6 feet 5.8 inches)

Now,

If you added 6" of lift you get : 78.3 inches (6 feet 6.3 inches)

If you then added 37" tires, you'd add 2.5 inches of height : 80.8 inches (6 feet 8.8 inches)

Feel free to do your own math to figure out your combination

I'm sorry, you asked for the height of the Jeep with various lifts, which is exactly what I gave you. What else were you looking for? I could give you ground clearance instead if you'd prefer, or height to some other reference point. But the point is, a 6 inch lift makes the Jeep 6 inches higher. A 4 inch lift makes the Jeep 4 inches higher. What were you looking for?

Actually Jake Blues is pretty right on. I have a 3" lift on a 2dr Rubi with 35's and I measure about 6' 5.5". I tried to be as accurate as I could without getting a level out.

I was looking for exactly what I asked. Someone to measure.

The height of a lift kit does not automatically correspond to an equal adjustment in height of the vehicle, just like tires don't. Most 35" tires are indeed not 35", same goes for 37" tires and so on.

If you don't have a lift, fine, don't respond, otherwise, someone else give me some help here.

What lift and what tires are you running? thanks

No he's not way off and why be such an a$$ to someone trying to help? Jake Blues said 6'5.8" and Rubimon told you 6'5.5". If you call .3" way off you you must be used to measuring things with a micrometer.

You could have said "Thanks, but I would really like someone to measure one with a tape measure and see what the actual height is." Trust me you'll get more help being nice than being rude.
