Default AEV4.5 BFG Mtr2?

Have an 08 JKU rubicon and am going to put the AEV 4.5" lift with BFG 37x12.5 17 with the Pinter wheels, however I still want this to fit in my garage. So my question is does anyone have this setup out there? If so how much will it raise my JKU over all? Thanks in advance.

I have a 2010 with the AEV 4.5 and Goodyear 37X12.50 17 MTRs and it measures 6' 6" at the roof.

FYI, the BFG's are not as tall as 37 Goodyear MTR's or 37 MT's. I have a 4.5 with only 35 MTR's and they look same height as 37 BFG's. I am going to Toyo 37's next.

what is your garage your height?

fyi: you can do the AEV 3.5" kit and use the 4.5" bumpstops for the rear and fit 37's. you will have to trim the pinch seam either way, but will give you an extra inch of clearance.

I have the aev 3.5 and 35's (and a gobi) and still fit in my standard height garage.
