Can anyone measure how tall their rig is at its highest (like at the middle tension crossbar thing in the soft top)? Please specify if you're running 33s or 35s and what other mods you have done which may affect total overall height (even bumpers I suppose). I need to make sure that my Jeep will still fit in the damn garage after this lift and new tires. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have added front an rear bumpers plus winch with 315-75-R17 tires and the AEV 2.5 lift and Geo brackets and the peak of my hardtop on my 2013JKUR is 76 inches.

I've got a 2dr with hardtop and 34's with the 2.5" lift. I can clear a standard garage with a dew inches to spare.

Any idea of the measured height? I'm not entirely sure what a standard garage dimensions are, not to mention my garage is probably anything but standard. I need to stay under 80" to not hit the lowest part when driving in (and up onto the slab of the garage).

at 80" you will be fine with even 35s
