if I do a rc 6.5 and run 35s what will my roof height be? becaus eim afraid I will be to tall to fit in my garge with out swaping the tires with the stock tires

Okay, so the stock height is 7" from the top of the AXLE tube to the bottom of the unibody "frame rail" and about 6" for the same measurements in the rear. so now add your lift height and then the height of your tires and add to the roof height (i cant remember what it is but you search for it on here)

stock height = 64"
stock height with roof rack = 66.8"


here you go

if u have a roof rack you will be over, i now people that fit with 33's and a 6.5 just fine but not enough with a roof rack and 35's prolly one or the other and u will be just fine!

With a 6.5" and 2" blocks and 33" I still have over a foot clearance in my garage.... Depends on how tall your garage is. with the door open mine is 7.5' tall with the garage door shut it is 8' tall

Most garage doors can also be adjusted to allow about an inch or 2 more clearance. I only know that because my dad did it so he could fit our old conversion van in our garage.

Lets see my jeep is at 68" with 3.5" and 30" tires. So 6.5" and 35" tires should come out at 75"-76" or there abouts. This doesn't include the roof rack so add 3" for the cross bars.

I literally have less than 1" of clearance with 33"mtr's, 3" OME, and JCR light bar with Hella 700's mounted upwards! and I'm mounting a 102" whip on the light bar to top it all off.

Solution:
1.Measure distance from ground to bottom of garage door when open
2.Measure height of cherokee as-is.
3.Add 6.5" for lift, and take half the size difference in diameter of current tires to 35's.
4.If height of cherokee after lift and difference in tire diameter is more than distance from garage door to floor, consider moving to a new house.

If it doesn't fit in your garage after those modifications then you need to sacrifice your roof racks and just put it on when needed...
