My old house also had a low garage door height. When it came time to put some 33's and a Tereflex leveling kit on my old JKU, I carefully measured the garage door opening, height of the JKU, etc. All was good. However, I forgot to take into account our lovely Ohio winters....

There had been no snow on the ground when I left for work one morning in January of 2013. During the day, it had snowed several inches. As I approached my driveway when I got off work, I thought to myself, "I better shovel this driveway as soon as I park (in the garage)". So....up goes the garage door, up the driveway I drove, and WHAM! The top of my JKU slammed into the top of the garage door opening. It never crossed my mind that packed snow would of course lift my Jeep up higher.

Fixing the garage and the JKU was not fun, but lesson learned.

Just to give you an idea. I have 37 KO2 with the MC 3.5 on a 5400# JKU.

I am at 77-1/8 " at the highest point. I do have some rake, so the high point is the rear. So if you gained 3/4" from removing the trim, I would think you would be ok.

I put on a 3.5" AEV lift w/35" Toyo M/Ts on 17" wheels. Highest point I measured was 77".

Measured last night- fresh 2.5" RK coils plus 31.75" tires put me at 75". The RK coils actually measure the 2.5" of lift over factory coils- as measured from the shock mount surface to the halfway point in the lower shock bolt.
