That 2nd pic is of a military vehicle, it was posted because they thought the JL plate reminded them of it. Long story short, the JL isn't 72" tall.
I'm glad it's not 72". Would seem too short for the JL. My garage door is 7'. So something just under 84" would been good with me
So 2" higher than the sport you measured?
Basically. It's absolutely taller. Again, measuring at the back of the Jeep and the top of the ridges on the hard top.
Tires alone should add 40mm (assuming both Sport and Rubicon tires measure true to their specs). That's about 1.57".
Awesome! Thanks! Any chance you'd be able to measure a Sahara? I'm going back and forth, Sahara vs. Rubicon (each for different reasons). If Rubicon already effectively has a lift, that would help me decide
Sahara looks to be the same as the Sport by my measurement.
Other than tires, I'm not sure why anyone thought a Rubicon would be taller.
It's a well established fact on JKs, the rubicon version had different springs that were taller. I know, I know there are lots of discussion threads going over this, essentially sometimes hard top vs soft top and 2 door vs 4 door sometimes changed that, and not worth getting into here. But all in all, Jeeps has placed taller springs on wranglers in the past (which would make one taller), and I certainly expect this to continue forward. In another thread (forget which one-maybe ask the dealer edit lol-it is this thread), measurements were taken of a sport and rubi. Rubi was 2 inches taller.
Gotcha. Didn't you say though that your measurements were rough because of being taken on carpet? But stating that rubi isn't much higher than Sahara except for tires is just your opinion, right? Not knowing the spring specifics like on the JK, no one yet knows if tires alone are the primary reason. Just saying, not trying to argue.
