Want A Lift - Problem: Parking Structures
I have the TF 2.5 coil lift. stock tires on my Rubi unlimited. I have mopar bumpers F&R but they are pretty light (60lbs in rear) plus a winch which only cost me 1/4'' up front.
with my hard top on my roof is 73''. I park in NYC garages a lot. been ok. have to remove CB antenna though which is 10'' more, or 83''.
I don't have the soft top on now so can't bu sure.

I air down to go into low garages.
The sidewall height on my 33's is about 8.5", so I can chop say 4" off that and still be able to crawl along in the garage analogous to crawling along the rocks, etc...its just flatter.

When out of the garage, I use the OBA to air back up and I'm on my way.
Food for thought.

You could also do an airbag suspension, and lower your stance to chop height when needed too.
Most garages have a PVC tube hanging on chains at the entryway which represents the low clearance point in the garage, sometimes it says "Clearance 74" (or whatever) on it too.
I have also simply asked the guy at the booth, etc, if its ok to leave the truck at the bottom, off to the side, so it doesn't get stuck up on another level, etc...and sometimes they're friendly about that.

this week I parked in the city with my ski racks up top! I asked about clearance and he said ok. I was really worried but it came back ok. Pointing it out before you go in should be good to make them aware... keeping it right there by the booth is best.
