x2. It's not rocket surgery.

Measure your jeep, then subtract that number from the height of the garage, and you are left with how much total lift you can put on...

Even with a 6" lift you'll be fine I believe. As long you don't have a roof rack.

Just be glad you are not out here in Hawaii. The average parking garage is 6' 2". My stock jeep barely fits and my old stock F150 couldn't go in half the garages in town. Some were under 6'.
