How short is your garage?
Mine is a standard height of 84" (7 ft).
A stock JK Rubicon with hard top is supposed to be 71" tall.
That means a standard garage would fit a JK with a 6" lift on 40s, with room to spare.
71" stock height + 6" lift + 4" from tires [(40"-32")/2=4"] = 81"

Maybe I'll just bite the bullet and get that 3" teraflex lift I've had my eye on lol

Here you go, this was no lift and 37" Toyos with Metalcloak fenders. If anyone is thinking of this setup you will want at least 4" BS on your wheels and I would also recommend smaller 37's like the BFG's to help keep the tires from hitting the frame at full steering lock. These tires also just hit the fenders at full stuff and you'll need to trim alot of your pinch seam in the rear.

I followed Planman's writeup last year.
2.5 rk coils
Tf monster trackbar
Evo rockstars
1" body lift
Trimmed fenders and pinch seams
9" rear sway bar links
11" front sway bar links
Bilsteins for 4" lift up front
Bilsteins for 2" in the rear
Front lower spring retainers
Rear upper and lower spring retainers
I think it flexes pretty damn good. Probably going to relocate rear upper shock mounts to run longer shocks

2.5" progressive rate springs
Flat flares
Longer swaybar links
Brakelines for 3-6" lift
Front and rear adjustable trackbars
Currie, Rock Krawler, or Metalcloak control arms
1.5" front and rear extended bump stops
Generous cutting with a sawsall in the rear fender well and the stock Rubi slider
Relocation of the lower shock mounts both front and rear to allow full travel without bottoming out the shocks with the new extended bumpstops.
You may need to relocate the rear hard brakelines over he frame to the rear upper coil perches to get them out of the way of the swaybar links.

I'm running 37's with no lift currently. Did a lot of cutting and grinding. Dropped the rear bumper completely. If you plan to run it like this for good, you'll need proper bumpstops. I've wheeled mine several times and in off camber situations the treads rub hard on the inner wheel wells. It'll eat your tread up. It rubs even with 3.5'' backspacing still at nearly full turn on road. I would say 85% turned it rubs. So I can't turn as sharp as they're capable of...
