Don't know how I missed this thread. Since I posted an identical question a few days ago and was able to dig up a little more info on this forum I'm going to add it to list this with a link to each original posting so that hopefully this information can continue to be organized together, assuming it's relevant to anyone.

My Rubicon with 2.5" EVO Enforcer stage 2 lift and 37" Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock rubicon wheels is 78" to the center of the roof with a 2x4 across the roof to capture the highest point. Not sure how everyone else is measuring the highest point but that seems like the only way to get an accurate measurement. Seems like the EVO lift is tall for a 2.5".

Looks like you need some soft top measurements from some of us.

Model: Sport
Lift: Mopar 2"
Tires: 33" Firestone MTR
Top: Soft top
Height: 77"

That height was measured at the highest point of the soft top while it was closed and sitting level inside my garage.

hmmmm..... your height is only 1” less than the 2.5”Evo lifted with 37s. Something doesn’t add up or the manufacturers claims are quite a bit off in both directions

Nah he has a soft top.. They have a peak & are taller then the hard tops.

That said all the manufacturer claims are off... Just a matter of how much, which direction & front or back..

I took an actual measurement running the tape down through between the bed and the cab, and measured the highest point of soft top. My JK with 35's and a hard top was way lower than the JT with 33's and soft top.

I can't go any bigger than 33" or it won't fit in the parking garage at work.
I'm only an inch under as it is, and was a bit worried when I drove it in the first day.
I have to remember not to have the man bun flipped back, or it isn't even close to fitting.

thanks for the explanation.I didn’t consider the soft top would be taller.

you have a set up I’m pretty much looking for. What is the height from the ground to the door sill? In other words: how much height is there to get yourself into the vehicle? My fiancé is only 5‘5« so obviously there is some consideration there for her getting in/out.

Also same question as above: with your set up, what’s the height from the ground to the door sill? Ie. How far do you have to climb to get in?

Rubicon, Mopar lift, hard top, 37/13.50-20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. 77”. the highest point is the trailing edge of the hard top as I have a slight rake with the rear sitting higher.

The parking garage signs at work Say 6’ 6” (78”), so I brought my tape measure and measured the true height of the sign. Surprisingly, it was right at 6’ 6” at its lowest point. So, I parked under it and checked. I had just under an inch clearance which may be due to the decline of the ramp and where my wheels sat on the ramp. It really looks like I will hit, but fortunately the sign is truly the lowest point.

My wife is 5’3” and she has no issue getting in and out and I don’t have a step, just the slider. At some point I will add a slider/step. She does have to jump but not an issue.

thanks for the quick response! Pretty high but definitely doable.

My wife says stock it was a jump to get in so she just considers anything I do to be the same but bigger hop up. Now my dog disagrees and I have to lift her in because she refuses to jump in or out at the new height.
