Default height of lifted JKs?

Wondering what height the roofs of your JKs are coming to after increases in lift / tyre size. My garage states a clearance of 2.05m, would like to maintain some kind of margin as well... trying to figure out what I can get away with

I have a 3" lift with 35" tyres and a roofrack that is bolted onto the body not soft top, and I doubt it would fit into your garage.

You might just have to think about moving to a place with a bigger garage if you plan on doing many modifications.

This pic will also give you a visual idea of what you can expect if you put bigger tyres on instead of stock tyres. my JK is probably at least 300mm higher with lift, tyres, rack ect

2.5" lift with 33's using the hard top and no roof racks......I'm OK for car parks 2.0m and above. Might scrape (probably literally!) into the 1.95m car parks but certainly can't fit under the 1.9m or lower ones now. Makes it interesting picking which car parks to go into when I have to go into Sydney.
