5.5 lift on 35's, need measurment.

[Bigbird]

Looking to go with 5.5 of lift and 35's but I don't know if it will fit through my garage door. Could someone with this setup please measure from the top of your Bronco to the ground. Thanks!!!!

Good luck - This should be a "rough" guide only. So many things come into play other than just lift and tires. Lifts vary, actual tire height varies quite a bit, tire pressure, weight of and in the bronco, etc.

I'm trying to get a close estimate. If the numbers are too close then I'll do something different. Thanks!!

I did this a month ago believe to remember my door at 84" and top on bronco 82", Ive been parking it in the garage last few days with no bikini and have about 2".

5.5 total lift 37" inch tires, and btw mounted tires are 36" tall

 

[asinor]

Based off of the stock height + suspension lift + true 35" diameter tires with a bit of leeway for tire compression but no suspension sag due to weight.

81.9 Inches
80.5 Inches (is my second calc with wheel centerline @ 47% of measured tire height and measured stock height of 71.75)

This is calculated, not measured. I did this to see what will fit in my garage too.

If you know your actual mounted tire diameter, I have those calcs too. I have calculations for 0-5.5" sl + 0-3" sl + 29-45.5" tires.

There are so many variables here that it not going to be easy to get a good estimate.
Tire pressure.
Measured mounted size vs. advertised diameter vs. actual diameter.
Vechicle weight with and without fluids, drivers, and passengers.
Suspension sag.
Hard top, soft top height vs stock advertised height, vs measured height.

Your 4.5" rear should keep your 36" tire just about the same as the 5.5" and 35.

yea but it sits level? i say he will fit!

I have 5.5 suspension lift, 35 KM2's, no body lift but new body mounts and mine will go into the garage with about 1/2 inch to spare. The Hi-Lift jack mounted on the bumper "just" touches the the rubber seal on the bottom of the door. 7 foot door.

Mine slides through without dragging any wood of the door frame. MINE SITS ON 35Ss with 5.5 WH LIFT/ELEVEN SPRINGS IN THE REAR.

Bronco Protip #117- when purchasing/building a house, a 10' minimum height for the garage door.

Hahaha too true.

 

[craigaria]

Mine just makes it into the garage. The soft top just rubs the bottom of the garage door.

I'll have to take some measurements later

 

[NYLES]

82.25 to the top of the cage a hard top would add a 1/2".

 

[EarlyBronco?]

Mine is right at 80 to top of cage with 35's and 3.5susp and 2BL

we forgot one thing, I'm allot lighter! Glass body

 

[Bigbird]

Sounds like it will just fit. Thanks

BTW, I miss my old house where I had a 10 foot door. My Ramcharger had 10 inch lift on 38.5's and it just fit.

 

[Crush]

I have an 8 ft garage door and my buddies bronco with 6" susp, 3" body and 39.5 irocs on it and has at least 6 inches of clearance

 

[Bigbird]

Good news, I have 84 inches of clearance. Well it's 84 till I rub so I think I'll be OK!!! Hope so LOL
