I depends on how tall your garage door is. Most homes come with a 7ft door though more and more are starting to use 8ft doors. I myself have an 8ft door and can park my Jeep indoors. If I had a 7ft door....no way. Mine has an 8.75" lift on 40" tires and stands about 7'6" or so.
Measure the height of your Jeep now. Then add in the lift kit height. Then measure the difference between your new and old tires and take half that distance. Add all that together on top of the height of your Jeep and subtract from the height of your garage door. If the number is positive, you're gold. If it's negative, break out the sawzall and head to Home Depot.

(Of course there will be slight variances also depending on aftermarket bumpers, winches, accessories etc. that come into consideration as well)
I am running a 4" lift on 37's and fit into my garage with a couple inches to spare (normal 7' door).
