Default Roof height after lift and tires

Just took possession of my first Jeep. A 2012 JKUR. I've decided on a AEV 2.5" lift and 315/75 17 Duratracs. Could anyone offer up the height of their JKU with that set up. Wondering if it will fit in my garage come winter.

Thanks,
Junior

I have an OME HD lift, about 3", and 315/70/17 Duratracs and I can clear a 6' 8" parking garage with maybe an inch to spare. Not exactly what you're looking for, but gives you an idea.

75" - 76" with hardtop. 32 psi in Duratracs.
Also have 300lbs in bumpers so take that into consideration w/ your setup.

Plenty of clearance even though it looks tight in this pic. Of course the other car it is sitting beside sits 3" off the road.
