Default Roof rack question

I have been thinking about the addition of a roof rack. Not sure which one yet but a question I have is with the adding a rack along with 33 inch tires, what is the distance to the top of the rack? Will I still be able to get in my garage?

I do not have a rack yet myself but I have a 4" lift with 35" tires and I'm right at 77" in height. The garage at my wife's work is limited at 7' plenty of room. There is a thread in here that talks about this subject and I think it has pic's do a search should be here.

Thanks for the replies! Sounds like I may need to look at a set up with the removable basket!
