Default Lifts and Parking Garages
If a JK Rubi Unlimited had 18 inch wheels and 37 tires and a 6 inch lift, would that still be able to drive into Parking Structures?

It would depend on the lowest point in the particular parking structure.

Would also depend on at what speed one was travelling.

Search for "Parking Structures", there are numerous threads on this. How high is your parking lot ? My JK has 35s and 2.5" lift, and measures 6' 4".

Measure to the tip of the radio antenna or the highest point of the jeep if you have roof rack. Commit that to memory. Most structures have signage stating the clearance.

Before you enter read the sign. If you're more than that don't go it. If there is not sign slowly approach the structure while watching the radio antenna. If the antenna hits back out over that Miata that's behind you.

i found that my 6"lift and 35 tires made me hit the safety clearance bar at one parking garage in philly, and it said 6'8" i ended up having to park in an open lot place
