Default Height to bottom of door with 2.5inch lift + 35s

Hey all, I apologize if this has been done already but I have dont forum and google searches and I am not getting what I need.. I am trying to figure out how much higher the jeep will get with 2.5" teraflex list and 35s (BFG 35 12.5)

Right now I have a Rubicon JKU stock with the stock 32" BFG MTs..
from my calculations, the bottom of the door should be approx. 1/2 diameter of tire increase + hight of lift. so (35-32)/2+2.5 inch lift = 1.5+2.5 = 4 inches higher.. is this correct?

Thanks all

uhhh

Your going to gain 2.5" from the lift and about 1" from the tires. Just because its a 35" tire doesnt mean it acutally measures 35". Once its mounted and under the weight of the jeep it will measure around 33.5".

check out this thread. people post their lift and tire size then measure from the ground to the top of the a pillar. Measure from ground to top before your install of the tires and lift and then again after everything is installed to find out what your overall lift is with lift plus tires.

A few people in this thread are running 2.5" coils with 35" tires and measure at about 73-74. Stock Jk is 69"

Yep typically the km2 runs pretty small. Like on a 35" is really 33.25-33.5
