Default Parking Garages

I just went down to Atlantic City for the first time with my jk since my lift and tires and i was very close to not clearing the garage and i didn't think of that at all on my over 2hour drive down there. and i only have a 2" inch lift with 33"s i don't think anyone with 35"s would be able to park there. Anyone else had this problem. I also had to take off my antenna.

Unless you have a very low garage door you should be able to clear. If you take some measurements I'm sure folks with the particular lift and tires you want can tell you their height. I was surprised at how much room I have on my standard door. I did adjust my garage door opener to pull the door further up the rail to give full clearance.

Roof lights and cargo racks can be a killer for the garage though!

I was at the Trump Casino parking lot and the only problem I ran into was that I could not put my top up in there, I had to drive out pull the top up then drive back in. I had to leave my wife in the parking spot to hold it. It was such a great spot had to do it.

I run 35s, and a 4 inch lift. 7 foot I will clear without the sunrider, either all the way down or all the way up. Sunrider will brush. Now with some settling, it might clear, but I haven't tried it.
You'll be fine with 2" and 35s.

Most of the parking garages near my in NYC are 7' mininum. My previous rig (lifted Dodge 2500), was 7' exactly....ergo- it wouldnt fit.

My Jeep will have 35's most likely with an AEV 3.5- i am hoping it wont give me any issues with parking

I'm willing to bring mine over to see if it fits bro. I got a 2.5" TF lift and will have 35's by some point. I had the same concerns as you do and Marvin fit right in my garage with no problem and I have what could be refered to as a U-Haul space for a garage.

I have a Superlift 4" and 35" Dick Cepek FCII's and I fit into my UG parking at 6'6" clearance. Maybe its labeled wrong? The antenna scrapes but thats not a big deal.
