Any issues with parking decks and 2.5 lifts/33s
Me lady and I are taking the plunge. TF 2.5 coil with 33s, wrangler duratracs. Can anybody chim in about height issues? I think most parking decks have minimums around 7', I believe. Thanks!

I have TF3" and 35s and there is a super low parking structure around here and no problems what so ever. minimum height is 7', but moves up to 8'6" for handicap accessable spots/routes

I don't believe there are any legal or building code specs that require 7' clearance. My JK stands 6'7" and there are several structures I could not or wasn't willing to try to clear.
The tire + lift selection you mention should keep you under 6'4"-6'5" which should be OK in the majority of parking decks.
If you have less than 4-5" clearance it can be scary driving in a structure. Once the antenna starts banging on the ceiling anything can happen.

I have a 3-inch lift and I go into Atlantic City Casino parking garages. It does freak me out as I feel Im gonna hit the top even though Im reassured by people outside the JK that I have plenty of room.

I've got a 2.5BB + 35's and fit into a 6'7" garage last week.
I was about to easily touch the columns and beams with my hand out of window and had an inch or two of clearance.

I have a Teraflex 3 inch and 35s. Im shorter than my wifes Excursion which is stock. I don't think you will have any problems at all. Most parking structures will accomidate anything that will fit in a standard garage. Im sure there are a few examples out there that are shorter but I bet more the exception rather than the rule.
Make your jeep cool and park on top of someone out side.

I am in Cali, and I can tell you there are many parking garages around the San Fernando valley and LA that are 6'7. The one I use every day is 6'7. So, it may be law that they are 7', but lots of law breakers.
