Question Will it fit in the garage

I need to find out exactly how tall my 4dr jk will be with a 4" lift and 37's. If it is just under 7ft...then I can park it in the garage..otherwise, I will have to go with a 3" lift and 35's....The wife said it has to fit in the garage.

I was just out at Off Road Evolutions shop on Friday and took a measurement of his JK because I wanted to know the same thing. Sitting on his approximately 4" (just under) prototype lift and 37's, his JK was standing at about 6'-8". Granted, just as I was leaving, he was about to install an actuall set of Full Traction 4" coils and from what Full Traction tells me, these will give you an actual lift of about 4.5". Needless to say, there would be just enough room to squeeze into a 7' garage even with all this height

Air rock system will be good for that. Or you can air down and tell your wife that everything is right

Hmm, with a full tank of gas, or empty?



laugh, but way back in the day, my family had a van (not mini, but real size) and it would fit in the garage with full tanks of gas... if it was empty, the roof rack would scrape

I have 4" lift with 37" tires and mine sits under 80" high with the hard top, the soft top will require MORE room but if your garage is a true 7' you'll have plenty of room.

Mine fits just fine. 4" superlift and 37s here. Only problem for me is that my garage is too short. Jeep touches both sides.

Just drive real slow the first time.

Mine won't fit if I have the sunrider open, but will with the top fully closed. Haven't tried it with the top all the way down (little cold), but I'm worried that the sunrider latches may catch when they are sprung up like that.

Hardtops are shorter due to less stuff above the doors and they're heavier. Maybe I can convince my wife that I need new bumpers so I don't worry about damaging the garage...

And I don't have 37s, just 315/70R17s.
