Will my lift fit in my garage? 2.5in BB (quick measurement needed)
Hey Guys, I need a really quick measurement.
do you have:
2.5 in BB
265 / 70 R16
Normal Springs (non-upcountry)?
Can anyone tell me the distance from:
Wheel center to the fender (hub center to the lowest point of the fender in the vertical axis)?
For reference; my stock suspension sits at:
Front: 17 ¾
Rear: 18 ½
this is one major factor I need to resolve before I lift my WJ:
Okay, I know a WJ at 2.5in seems like it would certainly fit in any garage, but with my roof rack, its getting pretty close (I can also tweak the door a bit more)
Also, the suspension upgrades I am planning are:
Kevins 2.5 in lift kit (BB) with:
Rubicon TT shocks
JKS QD’s FR and RR
Addco Rear Stabilizer Bar
Bridgestone Dueler Revo 265 / 70 R16
My jeep has been really good to me and lifting it is the least I can do
Thank you very much,
Jason

My Wj at 4.25" with a roof rack just barely fit into the garage, the lights were about 1 mm from rubbing, in fact I had to remove that vinal strip off the garage door, so certaiinly 2.5" will fit if you have the standard garage door opening.

I can still fit in my garage with my 4.5" lift and rack with lights. My rack is somewhat more low profile and the lights aren't that high either.

I don't have a Garadge at home but I don't fit in the older CC parking structure... Good thing GVSU has a brand new one down town with huge clearance.

I know, I know... When the Revo's wear down I am going to go with some 265/75/16's. No money at this time. Fiance lost her engagement ring in the lake while wakeboarding so I've got to buy her another.

She told me that she was going to buy the new one, but I told her no because I'm a nice guy. She's a definetly a keeper. Not a girly girl, but oh so hot and into everything that I'm into. Including Jeeps. Plus she has a nice Mastercraft with a big tower for wakeboarding.
