Height of 40 with lift and new tires

[ginmtb]

So I'm considering installing a 2.5" OME lift and 33x10.5x15 BFG AT's on stock steelies. Can someone with this setup measure the overall height of your 40? I want to make sure it fits in my garage still (or I can get it out after installing this stuff).

I'd rather not have to deflate my tires every time I want to pull it out of the garage.

I should make it but who knows if my original suspension is sagging a bunch.

Thanks!

What is the height of your garage door opening? I'm on 35s with a 4" lift and have no problem fitting in my garage with a 7' opening especially with the hard top off. With the hard top on, it slightly rubs the weather stripping, but nothing that causes damage.

My opening is 82" - there is a 2x6 on end trimming it out so I lost 1.5". I'm pretty sure I'll be fine, just would be nice to know the height to be certain.

I am SOA on 37" tires and I am 84.5" tall with the soft top. 2.5" lift and 33's will definitely fit into a 6'10" garage.

I figured that but this helps confirm it. The 40 will be enough work didn't want to have to modify the trim on the garage...

Thanks!

No worries. Good luck with it and post some pics.

With the roof rack, Mine's 6'8" with 3" of rack on the roof (aka +/-6'5").. 33" BFG ATs, and 1-2" over stock height. Your truck should clear by 3+".

You should be ok I recently went with 33-10.50s and OME 2.5 in lift. My 40 is disassembled and at paint shop I measured door opening 6' 10 1/2'' and I have 3 plus inches of clearance.
