Hello to everyone here, longtime lurker and first post.....
I will be purchasing a new JKU later this year and am getting funds together for a lift, wheels and tires. One requirement I have to stick to is to be able to get the jeep into my garage. I've got 80" in height to work with.
Originally I was planning to go with a AEV 2.5 and 315's/35's on aftermarket 17in wheels. However, lately I have been preferring the looks of the 3.5 with the 35's. I will be running stock front and rear bumpers for the foreseeable future. I've driven keeps with both lifts and am happy with the ride improvement over stock on both. I'm just not sure that the 3.5 with 35's and no added weight of bumpers or winch will be under 80".
I'm hoping someone here can weigh in with accurate measurements on their comparably equipped hard top JKU. I've done a lot of searching all over the net and have come up with varying dimensions.....I will have no problem getting the 2.5 in the garage, it's really the 3.5 I'm unsure about. AEV gives dimensions that include the weight of their bumpers and tire carrier, which I will not have.
Really appreciate the help!
