Default Jeep stuck after lift?

Okay, so i put my lift on this weekend, and while i was working on it, my dad had the relization of how much it would suck if you lifted your jeep up in the garage, and then realized that it was too tall to get it out of the door. I have to believe that someone has done it!

So back when I was 19 and had just finished college, my parents bought me a 93 toyota pickup. I decided I wanted a HUGE pavement princess, and decided on a 4 inch suspension, and 3 inch body lift with some 38 inch tsl swampers. well, long story short, the truck wouldnt come out of the garage and i had already sold the stock rims and tires. I had to let the tires to zero psi and it only cleared the garage door header by 1/2 inch.

Haven't lifted anything that big in a loooong time.
