Default height of your lifted JKs?

Interested in the total height of your lifted JKs, reason is i have a garage to clear and dont want to end up with something thats too high. Just wondering if anyone has an idea of what kind of heights lift kits / larger tyres bring the roof to. I've made a few calculations of my own but not really sure if im doing them correctly - basically im assuming that a 2" kit will add 2" to total height, and going, say, 4" larger in the tyres will also add 2" of height. Am I on the right track? Anything else I should be considering?

Thanks!!

I have 4 1/2 in AEV with 35s. It fits in my garage fine, but if I have the sunrider folded back it won't even come close to clearing my garage

Are those actual measurements? or want the mfg says? Because I know alot of people gain more than what a lift says, and just the opposite depending on all the additional equipment you have or don't have(rear seat, spare tire, etc.)

78 inches with top off. Soft top will sit higher than a hard top. add about 3 for a soft top and almost 2 for the soft top.

AEV 3.5, with 35" Goodyear Kevlar's, and no aftermarket bumpers or winch. Those should bring it down another inch. I got a total net gain of 6 inches.
