Default parking structures

I wa wi=ondering if anyone knew the answer:

If I get a 2.5" lift will my JK fit most parking structures that are usually 6.5 ft in height? I would be running 33" tires

I would hate to get the lift and then find out I have to park it outside most mall or garages.?

If you want I will measure my height tomorrow. It will be with the soft top though.

You should be OK. I have 33's with 2" lift and I am right around that. Use your antenna as a warning guide.

you SHOULD be ok. I know with 2.5" BB and 35" tires my Jeep is about 6'5 or 6'6 and depending on the angle the entrace has i come close to hitting the 6'8" warning barrier above

Ah, sorry, I wouldn't know, I don't hang at the malls!


I just keep it parked in my garage where it is easier to keep clean!

According to Jeep.com with a hard top the Jeep measures 70.9" high or 5'10.9". I would add another 3" for the soft top which puts you at 6'2". Add a 2.5" lift on 33's (+1) and your at 6'5.5".

You might be tight.

I am about 77.5" to the highest bow on my soft top. (46" to the bottom of my keyhole, 2 door, for a reference) That is with 35's and a 3" FT lift. My lift does seem to be higher than others I have measured against though! ???
