Default Lift question...

I just bought a 09 Rubicon. I want to be able to park it in my single car garage. As is right now I have 9'' of clearance before I hit the garage door. I was thinking about putting a 3 or 4 in lift 18x9 rockstar wheels and 33 tires. How much total height would that increase from stock? I don't want to do all this work and then be to high to pull into the garage.
Thx in advance for comments!

I run 3" lift with 35s and clear my single-car garage by about 2". You can easily get by with a 2.5" lift if you're only going to run 33s, something to think about.

4" lift is going to be too much for 33" tires. 2.5" and 33" tires is a perfect set up. 4" and 35s is a perfect set up.

And yes, a 4" lift with 33s will fit in your garage no problem
