Default Height of 2017 wrangler rubicon

Hello,

New here and kind of new to Jeep :-/

Just got me a new Jeep Rubicon Hard Rock model (2017) and already ordered the Metalcloak Game Changer 2.5" lift (6pak). I'm interested in 35" tires and a Gobi rack. The only thing that concerns me is the height - I want to make sure it fits in my garage. I know that the Gobi rack is approx. 8" above. Is there anybody here with the 2.5"-3.5" lift with 35" tires that can measure how tall is their Jeep?

Would really appreciate it!

That is a tough one. I don't know how high the rack is above the roof of a JK. I know that i have 40s on my Jeep and I clear the garage door but just by an inch or two.

My garage is kind of old and seems lower then normal (built in the 70s) do you mind measuring you car ,height from bottom back wheel to top of the roof?

The Gobi rack is 8" I'm almost positive it won't fit :(

Thank you!

Mine is 2016, but I can't think of any changes to the vehicle height in 2017.

With 2.5" lift and 35" mud terrains (2k miles on the jeep/tires so full tread), mine is 75.5" at the back of the hard top. Front is 75 even. Keep in mind that if you plan to carry a high lift etc around most of the time, you may need another couple inches.

My Gobi will be installed Feb 21 for a ski trip shortly after.

Good of luck to you!
