Default How much taller

I'm getting ready to put some 35" nitto trail grapplers and a 3.5" long arm rock kwaler long arm lift. And I would like to know how much taller my jeep will be after this. I want to be able to keep it in my garage still while I'm gone at work for a month at a time but not sure if it will be to tall when I get done.

That's crazy height!!! I have a 3.5 mid arm with 1 inch spacers , 1.25 body lift and 38 inch tires and I measure 75 inches tall on my hardtop.
My tires measure 37.2 mounted on my rims installed on my jeep. My 2 dr must be heavier than yours.
All and all I still fit into a 8 ft garage door easily. I even measured for 39.5's !!

Most houses don't have 8 foot garage doors.

35" Mickey Thompson MTZ, which are actually 34.25" (29 psi).
4" Lift (Full Traction).

Total height: 196 cm = 77.2"

That's with front and rear steel bumpers + trail gear at the back.
