Default Measurement Help?

Ok Gang... Low garage height entrance and worried about JK fitting after mods; here's the plan: New Mods

Rock Krawler 2.5 Max lift w/Duramax 315-70 R17's...

Can anyone with the same setup or similar tell me their floor to freedom roofline measurement - right at windshield line?

Oh yea... I also have a Gobi full roof rack on my JKU rubicon stock setup - so measurement will be important for me!

how tall is the lowest point of your garage? 7' like most? if so, what i can tell you is that our white JK is sitting on about 5" of lift and 40" tires and i can still roll it under my 7' tall garage door header and with about 2" to spare. in other words, you're probably going to be just fine.

Can't speak for the exact measurements you are looking for, but can tell you this, with a 3" Teraflex lift on a 2 door JK, with 35" tires, and doors off, I get under a 7 foot garage door with exactly 3.5 inches to spare.
Some say the 3" teraflex lift rolls into about 4 inches on a 2 door, I didn't get a good measurement prior to the lift, so I can't say for sure.
I know this does not answer your request, but might give you some feel for how much room you'll have to work with.

Good points of reference guys... That's what I needed - my main concern is the addition of +6 inches above the roof line with my Gobi Rack... With out the rack I know I'll fit - but your examples give me a good idea... I can always "air" down the tires if needed!

Thanks very much!
