Yes as the hard top is slimmer up top than the soft top so you should clear fine. What is the entrance of your garage measure out to?

with a hard top and 82" to clear the opening to get into the garage, I would say yes, you are fine. You will probably have 4-5" of clearance

Well, I only had 200 miles on when I made the change so there wasn't a lot of time behind the wheel as stock, so maybe that wasn't enough time to get used to stock ride to really be able to comment but With that said it drives great considering the Nitto's are not the lightest tire out there. I was very skeptical of all the rave reviews of 37" with the JL, but I can add to it now and say it really does drive great. Its not going to win any races but its not a dog like the JK was. It is much improved in just about everything. I love it.

I test drove one with 37 toyo's let me tell you I floored it gets up and goes it's not slow that transmission is geared low and the 410 gears it gets up and goes. It surprises everyone that rides in it or drives one. I am finalizing my build sheet I just don't know what to do on cloth or leather. I've had both my JK has cloth now leather gets hot and cold but if you spill something on cloth it soaks in faster. Where leather you can wipe it off. That letter just makes that red Dash and black leather look expensive

I am not much of a fan of the leather used for the wrangler for many reasons, so I have premium black cloth and love it. I think it looks perfect. If you have cloth, to help with those stains get some Detrapel

I gained 3" from the mopar. I think with the highline fenders you could run 37s and maybe barely touch. Here is mine with 35s. Tons of room, we need someone on here to flex it with 37s. I think member mbuck has 2" with 37s...

eck they are running 37s here with no lift because they took off the bottom part of the factory fender where the turn signals come off with it as you can see in this photo. They put it on the flex trailer the show last month as TMS and it didn't hit in the front i saw it first hand and saw there score

You say they are not loud ? I really want the mud look and would like to get the quietest mud tire that i can. everyone i see on here is all going to the cooper stt pro. what do you think about that tire ? they say its really a quiet tire
