Default Question about lift and tires

I'm sure this question has been asked. I bought my jeep with a 2" lift and a bit bigger tires on it.
I want to put a different lift, thinking about the Clayton jk 3.5 long arm lift with 35" pit bull tires.
My question is will I still fit in the standard garage.
I do not want to leave my jeep outside. What's the biggest tires and lift and still make it in the garage. I'm at work right now, but I will measure when I get home.
I already have to re mount my hi lift to a different place. It sticks up about 4-5" above jeep and barely goes in.

Well, standard is not always the same thoughout the US. You're best off to take measurements as without them it would be pure guess work and I don't think you'll want to go by that

Ok I just checked my garage is 6'11"
I'm at 10.5" away from top of jeep to top of garage.
I'm thinking maybe a 4-4.5" lift maybe now.

Is this your daily driver?

What is the reason for the long arm?

You can run 35's with the lift you already have by adding a body lift or some flat fenders.

I was watching truck u and they showed an episode with a jk getting a 4.5" lift kit with 35" tires. I liked the square tubing instead of the round.
I'm not sure of difference between the long arm and short arm.
I will have to check into that.

Nice.
