Default Will I fit if I upgrade?

So I just bought my Level 8 Trackers from discount tire direct. Now the hunt for tires I'v decided to go with 35's instead of 37's because of the cost to upgrade driveline components like Axles, gearing etc...

The top of my Jeep is around 72" with the top on.

So my question is will I be able to still fit into a standard height double car garage after I put the 35's on? I think with just adding tires I'm going to go up another 3" on top of the 4" I already added. So I think I'm going to be around 75" high.

How tall are your Jeeps? and Does the Hard Top add Height over the soft?

Pssst, Hey Bud. You say you got a 4" lift. Start saving money for axles.

Nice!! Does the Hardtop add height over the soft? To me looking on the road the hard top makes the JK seem taller.

I was at 80" with my old light bar/lift and I still fit, I think 87" is my garage opening


Now parking garages are a diff story

Want to keep under 78-80" for most older city parking garages

I'm going to drive it until it breaks then I'll change out what I need.... I'm going to fix stuff as it breaks. I cant afford to change stuff out at the moment.
