That's a crappy parking structure. In california it's law that a structure has to be 7'0 MINIMUM, that means that the bolt that hangs off fire sprinkler pipe hanger has to be above 7'. It has to be 8'4" if it has handicap accessilbe parking (for the big vans). I'm guessing that law was adopted from some greater code and would think that all states have a similar law.
Now I know that s*** happens and structures are built that don't exactly meet code, but 6'0" is rediculous. Guess the jeep get's to be parked in the elements.
Or take the top off, put the windshield down, pull out the sport cage, all set.

Parkade is a mutli-level parking garage right ? if so, 6" 0" is very low. Most garages protect themselves and place signs and the swinging height-bars a few inches lower than is really needed. Take a tape measure and find the lowest point in the structure.
The place I park says 6'4", I brush the bars going in/out but have plenty of clearance once inside.

Watch out for sprinkler heads!! I've seen this go horribly wrong!!
At 6' tall....I would have to duck to walk in!

So here is the deal.
I am looking for a Daily Driver the handles the trail. (Who Isn't)
For a Daily Driver I need
So far... the JK is working for me.
HOWEVER.... I would like to put 37" on. (What I have on my current rig)
The only way I know of doing this so far is offroadonly.com/products/suspension/airock/[/url]
Anyone do a no lift suspension setup? (Similar to the No Lift Wrangler (.jpmagazine.com/projectbuild/154_0809_no_lift_jeep_wrangler_part_2/index.html[/url])

6' is only 72"
The STOCK JK is about 71"
Even with NO lift, adding 37" tires is going to lift you about 2.5" all by itself, getting you a height of about 73.5" with 37's and zero inches of lift.
Most places have closer to 7' than 6' clearances...but, of course, if yours is really only 6', a JK really doesn't work.
My X is on 33's with a 2" BL + 3" SL, and I air down for some parking garages, then air up again after getting out (I have OBA, which speeds that up though...)
Anyway - double check the clearance limits, and, importantly, check if they have a SECTION for larger trucks, like work vans, etc....or will let you park by the entrance, etc, before things close in (Many let me if I ask nicely).
