Default Jeep HEIGHT - 33" 35" - 8'6"? get out a tape measure.

I'm looking at buying a Jk, and think i am going to put 33's or 35's on it depending on how high it will be. I could measure and add to get my answer, but i want to be completely sure before I spend a bunch of money.

Can someone measure their JK with 33" tires, and someone else with 35", listing what lift you have?

I'd really like 35's and a 4inch lift, but the garage ends at 8'6" and i would like to be under that with some room to spare...

my jeep with 4.5 inch of lift and 37s sits 6' 8". so you would sit about an 1.5inches lower with 4" lift and 35s. however every lift nets a little different hight. any way at 8' 6" you should easily clear your garage.

I have a 4" Teraflex Full Flex suspension, the minimum it gives is 4".. I'm probably at 5" because I don't have aftermarket bumpers, winch, yet... With 35's and I clear 7' ceilings...

4" RC and 315/70R17s. I can't clear my 7' garage with the sunrider open, but I can top all the way up or all the way down.

4" Superlift with 35" tires and my JK stands at 6' 10" to the top of the bar in the soft top, which is the highest point. Just fits in my 7' garage!
