All - About to pull the trigger on RK 2.5 max travel but can't decide between Trail Grappler 35s or the 285s (34s). Lowest point in my garage opening is 77.5". I've read a ton of threads about total height with 2.5 and 35s and seems that depending on variables, can fall between about 75-78". I'll be running this set up on a 4 door with stock bumpers, no armor, etc, at least for a while - so quite light.

Really interested in total height with soft top ideally as it is as least an inch higher than the hard top.

Thanks in advance!

 

I would realistically expect to get around 3.5" of actual lift with that kit and your jeep described the way you did. Add 2" for tires and you should gain right around 5.5" of actual height.

 

I have a 2014 rubicon 4 door with 1.5" RK lift and 35's and I am at about 76" at the tallest point hard to measure but close to that.

 

Get the lift and buy a bigger house if it doesn't fit later lol!

It'll fit. If it doesn't, just air down. lol.

 

lol that advice is great!

I have 35" Trail Grapplers and 3.5" RC lift, I'm somewhere around 77-78". I fit into 6'8" parking garage the other day but it sure got me nervous.

 

I have the 2.5 max travel kit with the triple rates and rear wedges installed running 315 70 17 duratracks at 27 lbs on stock wheels. My JKU is stock except for the lift and tires, no extra armor etc... I measure just under 76" with the hard top on and completely unloaded. I don't have measurements for the height with the soft top on, but it is lighter and taller than the hard top...

 

I've got the 2.5" Stock Mod system and 35x12.50-20 Toyo Open Country MTs. On the way in to the parking garage at work, my antenna hits the ceiling height warning bar but my soft top clears fine (I'll have to look again at what the height is printed on the bar).

It fits fine in my typical, suburbanite 2-car garage at home though.

ETA: I'm in a barebones (for the moment) Unlimited X. My total weight is about as low as it gets for a 4-door.
