Hub to fender is 20.5" front and 23" rear (wayyyyy stinky). I have not measured the tires, but they should be close since the mounted spec is 33.4" ... I would expect similar tire diameter. My roof rack measurement was taken using a level on the highest point on the factory rail. I came in at 6' 9.5"

As of now, I do not have that much weight in the rear.
 
Comes out to exactly 80" at the top of the high lift jack and stock roof rack. Gives me 2" to spare, but not enough to put anything else on the roof. The Slee build is front blueberry bumper with a Warn 9.5 xp winch, OME suspension (2.5), diff drop etc, rear Slee bumper with dual swingouts , Metal Tech sliders, Nitto Terra Grapplers-275/70/18.
 
I kiss my garage and about any parking structure I try. I run 285s with about 3" of lift and a couple of rack?

The comment about the bar being a false sense of security reminds me of this past winter. Got tired of parking outside in vail so I went in and spoke with a manager saying "how six eight is your six eight garage?" was told to just make sure I don't cut across parking spaces and just drive normally. Oh the faces I started getting as I dragged that yellow tube across every single mount and eyelet mounted on my rack.
 
I'll be strapping an RTT to my car shortly for vacation and I'm thinking AHC might give me the flexibility to squeeze into parking structures.

Fyi under normal circumstances, if you're in Low, the vehicle will raise back to N above 3mph, and if you disable ahc ('ahc off' button), it'll go back to N above 19mph.
It's easy to go over 3mph in a garage so if I'm in a low garage I always disable AHC. Also - just b/c it's a point of confusion, if you're in H it lowers to N at 19mph whereas if you're in L it raises to N above 3mph. That is, unless ahc is disabled in which case regardless of L or H it goes back to N and above 50mph AHC goes back on automatically. (Also there's different behavior when transfer is switched into H.)

Hrmm... The 3mph L to N transition is unexpected and I'm not sure I've seen that behavior from my car before. I use the L parking feature consistently so my 2.5 yr old daughter can get in/out of the car and I'm not sure I've ever seen it go into N until it passes the 19mph threshold. But I don't want to find out in a parking structure when all the inches matter.

I'll keep an eye out for it.
 
Had a CVT Mt. Rainier strapped to the top of my car for a recent trip and took some measurements. 89.5" in low position and 93" in high. This is mounted to the stock roof rack and 32.6" tires. It won't help me with 84" parking structures but it does help me get into my own garage. I've got a motorized 4 point lift system rigged that will drop the the tent nicely on the rack to be bolted up :D


agaisin - thanks for the heads up on the AHC functionality. It does look like that from park to drive, it will raise to normal at something below 19mph. It's not 3 mph, but more like 8 mph. If I were to switch it to low while in drive, it doesn't switch to N until 19mph.
 
I think the point is being missed by most of the posts. His concern is getting into his OWN garage, not the mall or wherever.

I have 35" tires and the super duper deluxe 2.5" suspension lift from Just Diff's and as measured, I can fit it in my garage (assuming I didn't have my work bench, table saw, radial arm saw, drill press, welders, etc.) I also DO NOT yet have any steel on it yet (read bumpers, slides etc.)
I can almost without a doubt guarantee it will fit. If not, take off your rack and for sure it will.
