Default Overall height

I am torn between the rough country 4" lift or 2.5" lift with coils for my '08 unlimited.

I am wanting to know the overall height of the jeep with:

2.5" lift w/ coils and 33" tires

4" lift with 35's

I know the tires vary in size even when they are supposed to be 33's, I'm just looking to get close because I'd like to still fit in the parking garages around town.

For the 2.5" lift and 33's, you'd probably be 3.5" over stock. For the 4" lift, 6" over stock. Something around there.

I have a 4 inch Teraflex Longarm lift and BFG KM2's 35's and it is about 6'6 with hardtop. Most of the parking here seems to be around 7ft so I have had no problems.

from ground to top of the windshield where the top meets the header, mine is 72.25" tall. that's with the RC 2.5 coils with 3/4" spacers front and rear also...and 33" tires. With the RC coils, you should get about 2.25" front and MAYBE 2" rear...that's all I got, so that's why I added the extra spacers.
