So... does anyone know the approx entry height of a JKU with a 4" lift and 37" tires?

I know there are others factors besides wheels and tires, but I'm just trying to get an approx height. I do have quite a bit on weight on it with the XRC front and rear bumpers, winch, and the XRC sliders.

I'd love to go with 37" tires, but I'm worried about it being too high to get into, so I may settle for 35"s

I'm only 5'6" and don't want to have to put a step on the side of the jeep

get rockrails that fit with the exisiting rockers - I have Smittybilt Rock Crawler Side Armor which don't work with the stock rockers so as a step they are useless. Should've gone with ACE as originally planned

answer to your question, depends on the lift manufacturer, and weight - bumpers, spare, etc... my 3.5" with 34's and I'm sitting about 5.5" taller. Bumpers shoould bring it down a little.
