Default Fit in Garage?

Hey all, recently traded in my 2 dr for a 4 dr JKUR. I have a RK 3.5 max travel on order and plan on 37in MTRs. Was wondering if anybody had a similar setup and a rough overall height of their Jeep. Just curious if my Jeep will still fit in the garage. BTW, I have a hardtop. Any inputs would be greatly appreciated!

Not all garage doors are the same height. So you might want to post the height of the lowest point of your garage door when open.

This and also the height of the garage door opener, which can be adjusted.

My Jeep fit in the garage when it was stock... When I put on 33's and a 2" lift I had to modify the L bracket for the opener and remove the garage door opener shell (screwed the circuit board to the ceiling). When I noticed sag in the rear of the Jeep I installed 1" pucks and the Jeep would not fit anymore. I needed a new garage door so when I installed that I found a German company that sells slim door openers. I have plenty of room and can probably fit with 35's...

Just measured it again its 81" to the garage door with a chamberlain door opener. The Jeep is 77" to the top of the snorkel which is the highest point. So 4" till it hits so I'll play it safe and call it 3" because I don't want to buy another garage door those things are expensive.

my guess is that you'll have enough room with the average roll up garage door. but with a tilt up garage door, you probably won't fit.

I cannot see your location right now but if you are in a place where you get snow be careful.
Here some time in winters i get a icy crusts in front of the garage door, this crusts can be up to 3" tick this will bring the jeep up 3 " when your wheels step on it.
So if your back wheels get on the crusts and you only have 1" spare in the door frame you`re toast
