Measurement help
I am currently shopping for a suspension lift, rims, and tires…but, I am worried that if I add the wrong components I won’t be able to park in my parking garage.
Does anyone have the overall height measurements for a 98 XJ with a RC long arm 6.5 lift, 15 x 8 Rims, and 33 x 12.50 Tires? Or how would I be able calculate those measurements. I’m sure there’s a way, just want to make sure I don’t forget anything doing it and then end up with something I didn’t want.
Thanks for the help!

measure your existing height. Add 6.5" to it. Then measure your existing tires (most likely aroung 29") and subtract that from 33". Divide that difference by 2 (radius of tire). So technically the Jeep SHOULD be 8.5" taller than a stock jeep overall.

Copy thank you that should get me in the ball park!
Thanks again!
**UPDATE** After having an opportunity to accurately measure the opening I have about 1.5 ft of clearance (right now and around 9 in’s after install), which is good…means I can get what I was wanting!
