Bart,
I can't even begin to describe how difficult it is to admit when you are right & I am wrong (ask Wifey). You are 8033 miles away and I'm 10173 miles away.

Bart,
To tell you the truth I haven't checked it with the lift yet, but last year when I was getting ready for Moab I had the basket and spare on the roof and tried to pull into the garage, but I was about an inch too tall. I think that I was hitting the plastic "seal" at the top of the door, and could have switched it out with a smaller one, but after Ldub twisted my arm and MADE me put a lift on Vicki (actually he put the lift on her) in the parking lot of the Red Rock last year I have a feeling that I'll be WAY too tall now. Guess I'll have to gear her up and check.
One other option would be to deflate the tires so she squats down some. Hmmm...maybe I'll have to install a Hummer-like on board tire inflation system to get in and out of the garage.

That's not EXACTLY how I remember it, but things WERE a little fuzzy that particular evening...
Have you got enough space above the door to raise the header & add another section of garage door?...

Mark, I only ask because you are lifted same as me (iirc) and I am pretty sure most garage door openings are a standard height, so I was just thinking that you may just fit with a little modding.

I just gotta warn you guys about a potential issue. My Jeep clears the garage door opening by 1/4"... until it snows! When I backed out and onto a snow covered driveway the Jeep raised up enough to relieve my home of a section of the trim above the door. SNAP!!! Be careful, I was using all roll cage to remodel that doorway! Had that happened with a spare on top of Zeus it would not have been pretty.

Yeah, with how close mine is, I have to go super slow in and out. Like I said, my spare tire touches the retracted garage door every time I go in or out. If I go slow it just slightly rubs but with just a little speed it could catch and be more disasterous. I should make a video of it, it's kinda funny. Most people would just leave their 4x4 out in the driveway. But I say, "no way!"
